I think you summed it up very well Amanda. some people go places and never leave the resort, some want to get out and explore the places they vacation to and then you have the whole spectrum in between. I am more towards experiencing the local flavors and life. Belize has many charms and can fit everyone's taste. sooner or later tho if big business thinks its lucrative they will move in. I remember when Jimmy Carter went to Cancun back in 79. People were asking where the heck is Cancun and why would anyone want to go there. Now look at it. San Pedro has changed a lot in the 15 years we have been coming here. For residents it isn't as noticeable because it is slow and changed day by day but for someone who comes once every year or so its more noticeable. Most of the stuff has been for the better like the road in the north.
