Options by Phillyman
I’d like to visit Belize in about a two months. While I’m there I plan to tour the various areas and weigh my options. I’m considering and parcel of land that I can build on at my pace. Maybe 3-5 acres. Good deals in Toledo? ...

I lived in Belize for over a year, but thought I would move back to the states. What a mistake. Now I am planning on moving back about in May. I will be looking for a furnished apartment or something similar around San Ignacio. That is where I lived ...
I'm so sorry Brownsand. The posts got jumbled up for me with other topics, and I was addressing someone else in this forum, not realizing where I was, so part of the responsibility is mine. Then people started responding to what I posted, and ... Read More

Yes, terrific. Exactly. But it sounds soooo ideal, doesn't it. "Can't we all just get along?" Well, nope. That's the nature of things. Read More

Don't know. Haven't been there for a month. Have matters here in OR to attend to right now. When I left, the road was smoothed out and traverse-able. First good rain and it goes to slop, though. Read More
