Our schedule is 3 days Placencia and then to the cayes. No set schedule after Placencia. We're brining everything in backpacks and have a tent, so we'll be ready for anything that comes along. We'll decide when we get there, based on more accurate and timely information but tentatively we're heading for AC after Placencia and will either stay there or CC for at least a few days. I would love to find a reverse trip like the Ragamuffin tour to get to AC tho.

Thanks for the tip gapeach. I'll check them out.

Gee Scott, why not try contacting Ragamuffin...they gotta get that boat back someway!

Got that in mind

I haven't found their contact info yet other than the phone number that cath was kind enough to post. My cellphone doesn't call to Belize for some reason and I've been doing 12 hour days for a bit so I haven't had a chance to yet. As soon as I can get a way to contact them, I'm gonna try.

Anyone have an email address for them?

Hope this helps.

After many trips to Belize there is one thing that can really hang you up and that is getting thru Customs. It only took 1 or 2 trips to figure out how to get thru fast. On the plane they should hand out your declaration papers. Do not wait until you get off the plane and in line at customs to fill these out, like a lot do. Fill them out immediately. Then when the plane lands and is taxing to the gate... once the plane is pulling up, get up and get any carry-ons. I know you're thinking this guy is nuts, but believe me, the line can be very long, and hot. Once that plane door opens make a beeline and get off the plane. There will be a guy by the building pointing the way to Customs... walk fast.. you'll get thru Customs faster. Have that paper and passport ready. You'll have to wait a bit for your bags if checked. Then you'll take the bags thru Customs... some they check, some don't. Remember, you have two lines to wait in... one is the Customs clerk before you get your bags... the next line is where they may or may not check your bags... once thru the second line you are home free...

Thanks Denny, we'll definitely remember that.

We'll be checking our backpacks for the flight, no other luggage. I would imagine I'll have to wrap them in something that I can rewrap in case of inspection. Haven't settled on what yet, maybe plastic wrap.

Denny, things have changed in the last few years. The last six times I was in Belize (between June to Feb this year), I have had no delays. They now have two routes you can take, a nothing to declare (green) and declaration line (red). Nothing to declare takes about 5 seconds unless you look suspicious.

Hi,
If you are interested in sailing to Caye Caulker "Japs" from Placencia does Placencia to Caye Caulker sailing trips. You can contact him by e mail at leeandjaps@btl.net. Thanks

Sweet!

I'll see if I can get a hold of him.

Where would I find him in Placencia if I can't get him by email?

Scott, note Secret Garden's homepage in her profile. Good information.
