Thanks for the tale Dan! Artistic license or not, I'm now going to get some travel documents copied and kept apart from the originals, so sorry for your bad luck, but your amusing tale serves as caution to others.

The only place I've ever been where you actually COULD leave anything outside your room, and that was because there were no LOCKS to your room, was on Eleuthera, one of the Bahamas islands. Beautiful place - 110 miles long by maybe 2 miles wide at the widest point and three policemen! You didn't need keys - couldn't have met more honest, decent people. Beautiful place, but then again, I daresay there's someone out there who's got a horror story to tell, just as you did with Belize!

We're off to AC on Friday for the first time, so hope to experience the holiday that you didn't!! Want a postcard.....? Oops, sorry!

Cheers!
