AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Chat Area Roads up North

I plan on buying up north at some time and have no expectations or want for a road. The lack of one is one of the reasons I would buy.

I'll say it for the last time, the community would benefit little if at all, a very small minority might but not the community as a whole. The reception would be kinder if more concern was shown for the community rather than the individual.

300 room resorts with toyota taxis racing up and down from the current airstrip to the northern most destinations. That sounds great! Get the road graders fired up! Amanda...where should we hold the awards ceremony and who is on the "A" list? Please keep your acceptance speech to 30 seconds! I'll be there Feb. 9-21.

Acceptance speech??? Oh, no!!!

SimonB & reaper - you said it brother (s)! Applause, applause!!!!!!

Have been reading quite a few messages on chat, could not believe how many want to use road, when they come to SP and want to book up north, only to find that roads are bad.
Maybe I should be talking to resort owners and not chat room, to try and push some road work.
Spend some time reading some of their concerns.
Yes, Me again.

CS, Perhaps you should spend some time in the middle east. They are about out of hotels.

...when we bought property up north, I tell ya, the seller really "glossed over" the whole subject of the road... I had my suspicions (I mean he kept taking us up to the property in a "boat"?) but I did not worry too much... I mean, how do you get anywhere when there's not a road? I reasoned... Then, a couple years later, when we decided to build a resort and restaurant, the contractor kept talking about "barges" for bringing in materials... "Suit yerself pal" I thought, "But looking at the effort that's gonna take, putting it on a truck and just drivin' it up SURE would be easier!!!" Again, I shrugged it off, figuring maybe he just wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer... "Hah... bringing in TONS of material by a (smirk) boat!." After opening for biz, having left both our vehicles in the states (a big truck, which sure will sure be useful down here and a 1969 Plymouth GTX w/ a 440 which I am REALLY hoping to be able to show off on weekend nights out in town) we found ourselves EVERY DAY picking up our staff in a boat... "Huh... guess they don't know any better..." I reasoned... On windy/choppy days, they sure get drenched en route to work, but if they prefer that to simply driving and don't complain, I'm not gonna say anything... Same with all our vendors and purveyors... Take the guy who delivers produce to us up here... 'seems' like a pretty shrewd guy, but again, he shows up in a boat???!!! SAME for the beer delivery folks, and they've been doing business down here for YEARS... you'd think they'd know better? It's as though we decided to live and work at the far reaches of some undevelopped tropical island or something... Oh, cripes, wait a minute....!!!

Heheehhehaaaaaaa haha. FDLMAO!!! ....laugh.......!!!

Reaper - drop me a pm.

Jesse, will you be writing the speech for me?

Lets see...30 seconds max? Sure!
