The Planning Stages of our Return to Belize

Ten years ago, during a trip to Ambergris Caye, Belize, we were engulfed with the island dream of moving to Belize to obtain a "simpler way of living".   We purchased a "little piece of paradise" just outside of San Pedro town, one block from the sea; to hold a place marker for our dreams and to build our home and add to the number of ex-patriots of Central America.  Now, our count down to retirement is just over 5 years away.  Although, it has been many years since we have been back to Ambergris Caye, Belize, we are in the planning stages for this Spring 2011 to return for an in-depth exploration focusing on the mainland territory.  We plan to rent a vehicle once we arrive at the Belize International Airport and travel to the areas of Corozol, Orange Walk, Stann Creek,  and Placencia with a few tourist stops along the way.  Then, we will hop back to Ambergris Caye to check out the changes of the island, visit our property and make final decisions of our plans to "Live the Central American Dream" or decide if our dream may really be a nightmare in disguise.
