Suggested route to drive from Brownsville Texas to Consejo Belize. by rayonthebay

I'm looking for suggestions on the best route to take travelling from Texas to Consejo Belize. Most convenient, decent places to stay overnight and safety for my wife. Any assistance would be appreciated.

rayonthebay
