I used Mars Travel (
www.flycheapol.com) to book tickets for our trip to AC. I found them through a post someone had made on this board a while back and after having called countless travel agents and searched numerous sites, I sent them an email to see what sort of fares they offered from New York to Belize. My two girlfriends and I were able to get tickets through Mars Travel for $448 each roundtrip. It is an incredible deal, because the lowest I was able to find anywhere else was 700-900 for the same dates (March 24-31st). I also only bought them about a month in advance.
Thanks to all for all the great information, this is my first post to a board that I have visited many times and found to be incredibly helpful and informative. I can't wait to be there, I'm looking forward to the beauty, the people and my first Belikin...
