@Pugwash: Could you give me some examples for the intra-country travel fares? We were considering hiring a car, could that be a good "alternative" or is it very expensive?
Another question I hope it is ok to ask: would it be worth crossing the borders and taking a look at Mexico or Honduras?
Hi Sha...when I said "relatively expense" think in these terms...the flight from Belize Goldson...San Pedro...Placencia.....Goldson cost as much as my flight from Dallas/Goldson/Dallas!
If you have time, consider UK..Cancun, then take the bus to Chetumal/Corozal, so you can see some of Mexico.
From there it depends on how much time you have..rent a car or take buses around the mainland, but don't leave Belize until you have checked out Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye, which you can access via Water Taxi from Belize City or Corozal!
