OK, all that said, when I first started going to Belize, many moons ago, I was often paying $1200 Cdn (one time $1500) in airfare just to get there, not including the puddle jumper flight, that was an additional $100 US. And not only that, my accommodations were also in $US, as was my diving, my touring, my partying. More often than not, the Cdn $ and US $ were far from par. At one time, for a year or more, I was paying $1.60 or so for the US $.
It was brutal, but I didn't care. I didn't care that it was cheaper to go to Cozumel or most anywhere else, because I'd found something so special in Belize, and I was willing to pay for it.
That was the reality at the time. I'm not so sure it's still my reality, regardless I can't see me not going at least once in a while, instead of as often as possible, as I have done in the past.
What would be ideal, is if something could be done about the disparity in pricing. If that could be fixed somehow, then new people would arrive, find the love, book the hotels; us old salts, could get back to arriving "as often as possible".
