I wish I had brought more original copies of important documents i.e., Birth Certificate, Marriage License, Titles of assets, 5 yrs of Tax records, Medical etc...It is hard to obtain these once you have made the move. Contact info on the Businesses and Gov agencies you will need from back home in case issues come up. More family Photos.
Things I wish I left behind: Long Pants, I have ten pairs of jeans that get used twice a year. My watch, it's useless when everyone else is on a plus or minus an HOUR schedule.

13adamzThanks for making this report.You have two of the best pcs.of advice I've seen yet: about the Docs n the U.S. Contacts. Best report Ive ever read here.
ferriswhitfieldI read the comment about long pants, but the CDC recommends covering up to avoid mosquito bites, then maybe Zika. What is you experience with bites? Thanks! I'll find out in Oct.
sherrynadeauThis post is very helpful, but I'd like to get more recent information about moving to Corozal. I've that the people are really friendly and I've read that they all want to cheat you. I don't expect paradise and don't want an elaborate lifestyle. I also don't want dirt floor or an outhouse. I'm 71 and don't want to have to move out as soon as I move in. I'd like to rent an apartment or small house in Corozal Town. I have found it very difficult to get a realistic feel for Corozal and I would like to have that before I spend money even on a check-it-out visit. I'd like any information about housing availability and whether or not I will feel welcome.
