Lan,
Thanks for the posting. Belize is a great place but it is crazy to think that people are not looking at other places. I received a great deal of information on Panama. The area of interest Boca Del Toro (not sure of spelling) I was set to go to Costa Rica, Honduras Bay Islands and Panama. I ended up in Belize as the flights worked for me in California. I thought Honduras was more affordable and found after I visited Belize this not to be the case. The bay islands are high for lodging. I also read about the gentleman that lived in Belize for 20 plus years and moved to main land Honduras and was murdered. You do have to be careful! I never felt that way in Belize or the yucatan. People are great there but you know I am still curious about Boca. Thanks again for the posting. The posting should be more about sharing information than bring people to Belize they will come.
