After many trips to Belize there is one thing that can really hang you up and that is getting thru Customs. It only took 1 or 2 trips to figure out how to get thru fast. On the plane they should hand out your declaration papers. Do not wait until you get off the plane and in line at customs to fill these out, like a lot do. Fill them out immediately. Then when the plane lands and is taxing to the gate... once the plane is pulling up, get up and get any carry-ons. I know you're thinking this guy is nuts, but believe me, the line can be very long, and hot. Once that plane door opens make a beeline and get off the plane. There will be a guy by the building pointing the way to Customs... walk fast.. you'll get thru Customs faster. Have that paper and passport ready. You'll have to wait a bit for your bags if checked. Then you'll take the bags thru Customs... some they check, some don't. Remember, you have two lines to wait in... one is the Customs clerk before you get your bags... the next line is where they may or may not check your bags... once thru the second line you are home free...
