If you fly into cancun you can catch an airconditioned bus to Chetumal which is on the border with Belize, it costs about 21 or 22 US dollars one way, then you have to get to Corazal town on the belize side and you can either fly from there or take a water taxi. Its not a difficult trip and will take you about 8 to 9 hours from Cancun to Sanpedro if you time your transportation right.

I was just remembering the Indiana Jones movie where they were escaping on a tramp freighter. Really! HE HE

In all seriousness, I think you can pay and travel on freighters for a substantial savings. Its easier when you live in city where it embarks. Just a bit longer and if time is not an issue, which it seems its not, then why not?

Thanks all for the good ideas - I have to think about it all... I'm on hold with the Unemployment Dept. - never thought I'd be one of them, but here I am...

The whole idea of flying into Cancun and then taking a Maya flight seems about the same $ as just flying into Belize (from Trampa) - actually Champion, I think that's what I will call it - it IS full of garbage!! Funny!!

Not sure about Tampa, but from Vegas right now, the Cancun route is about $200 cheaper. Once the Maya special ends, that value goes away.

Is the Maya flight $199 RT? And this price is over at the end of July? Then there still is the way b/w BC and SP - looks like I'll be experiencing the water taxi for the first time - everything is fun the first time, right? Are there flights b/w Corozal and AC - or do all flights landing in SP come from BC? Thanks all for the ideas again!

AA Miami-Belize $229 next week July 7-15th

Susie -- need you to hear that you're in my thoughts and prayers. If you're planning an AC trip, I hope that means you have some reserves in place. Good luck!

sorry, susie.

Thanks for the nice words... Strange - BZE-MIA is $220 and MIA-BZE is $303 (on AA - I did know about that special actually but thanks Tim). Those pricesetters have their methods - then they also hit you up for at least $50 more if it's not 2 weeks in advance. I have to think about it-- you only live once and I have 110% confidence in getting a new job sooner than you'd think. I better make up my mind soon!
