Well we went, we saw, we fell in love. Obviously we want now to go and spend more time but the two biggest questions that we had have been answered. 1. Do we like the country? Absolutely!!! It was so refreshing to visit a country where things are peaceful, laid back and, the tourism, isn't so commercialized. Being in the midst of it all really made us appreciate the work and the opinions of both the locals and the expats regarding keeping Belize BELIZE. I would hate to see a McDonald's in Placencia or anywhere in the country and we are really curious to see what happens with Norweigian (and we heard Disney also) coming soon.
2. What area do we like the best? Placencia. Hands down! I didn't understand before going there, but had found that if people like Corozal, they don't generally care for Placencia or the islands, and vice versa. Well, now I get it! Although there is nothing wrong with the other 'centres' we fell in love with Placencia and the south. That is definitely the area that we will concentrate on for our next visit!
The feeling we had while there is so hard to describe. Leaving it to tour the rest of the country was hard. But we are glad that we did the trip the way that we did because it answered our questions. We know that where we feel at home the most is the south. With the sea and the mountains within touching distance...ahhh, now that is the life.
We also got answers to some of our other questions regarding property, banking, shopping, travelling, legal matters, insurance etc. All in all, everyone we visited with was super helpful and informative.
JohnP - we spent an afternoon hanging at Curve hoping to run into you...must have been a day you were elsewhere. Next time for sure!
Thank you all for the advice you gave in my original post before we left. I am sure I will have more questions for you all as we continue this journey. Your help is greatly appreciated!
