TUSK's Belize itinerary... Suggestions and Advice is appreciated by TUSK
Here are my Parameters: ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ: My intention is to focus primarily on the Coast... AC, CC, Hopkins, and Placencia... And while I'm interested in both Northern and Southern Belize, I'm uncertain how much time a thorough recon will ...
I like CC a lot. The Sports Bar there is owned by a Vet (and his wife) and I had a lot of fun there watching my Royals win the World Series! When I was there I stayed in the rooms above the Happy Lobster. Its a family owned place and they live there ... Read More
Negative feedbacks when I stated I wanted to move to Belize by chuckL
KRISTANADREAU- Just posted on here looking to move to Belize. After reading most post they seem to not want ANYONE to move to Belize. They accused me of being a slave owning right wing redneck without even knowing me. I feel as if they are scaring ...
Don't let the nay Sayers deter you. Go there and stay for a while and decide for yourself. If you can live without the typical American lifestyle or have a lot of money and patience, you will do just fine. Adjustments ! Lots of people think ... Read More
Update from TUSK... by TUSK
I sent off my application for a passport and expect it back in a month or so. My buddy that currently lives in Belize is in the States (where we grew up) and we got to hang out for several hours the other night. I was encouraged with all of what ...
Wow. October is when I will be heading down too. Any chance of a meeting for lunch or something? Drinks? Whatever. I am very interested in talking to others who are in love with this land and wanting to make a go of it there. Safe trips all around. Read More
Howdy, everyone... by TUSK
I'm from the woods in rural Alabama and am considering expat locales within the Caribbean. Formerly a white collar worker (ACC, IT, FIN, consulting, etc), I've recently transitioned in to construction (self-employed). I'm ...
ABSOLUTELY! Go to Belize and stay for a few weeks or months. You will either love it or hate it. I've never met anyone that fell in between. Personally, I'm from a little town in South Missouri where there was about 317 people. I'm in ... Read More
Palm Bay Club on Amergris Caye by doglady
Does anyone know how to get a list of the owners at Palm Bay Club? Not the owners that currently own the entire property; but those that have purchased individual lots and are waiting to develop? Thanks in advance.
Very excited to get the airstrip started! We intend on building in about 5 years but to have the development going will be fantastic. Hoping the barge landing will come soon after. Any thoughts on when you might start developing your land there?? Read More

Pets in Belize by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Many of us in Belize have four-legged friends. What about you? Do you have one or more pets? Share your experience with us! What are the formalities to import pets in Belize? What about pet adoption procedures in the country? ...
Regulations are easy enough to find and adhere to for entry. However, depending on where you are going in Belize you may want to take some extra precautions. There are many strays which have diseases/parasites and are unchecked; some highly ... Read More
Customer care in Belize by Priscilla
Hello everyone, The way customer services are handled can greatly affect your views on certain brands, products, companies or stores. As a consumer, it is important to get familiar with local practices regarding client assistance in Belize and ...
It has been our experience that customer service in Belize is as varied as here at home in the US. In a San Pedro restaurant we were charged double what the bill should have been and when we asked why the check was so high, we were talked to as ... Read More

Travel Ambergris Caye across channel to Mexico by margewest
Just curious. The channel that divides the north end of AC and Mexico, is there a way to travel that? If so what would I find there? I heard a lot of pdople go to Mexico for health care and dental and prescription drugs.
Someone that lives there should discuss the passport stamp requirements and the fees to go between countries. We use to do it a lot but not lately; so I don't know the current fees or regulations. Read More

You might find tourists that are interested in purchasing quilted bags and maybe clothing but blankets and throws might be harder to sell. Getting large items home in suitcases is harder. You might consider the cost of getting that machine into the ... Read More
