Hello:

This is my first post and March 2004 will be our first trip to Belize.

I just bought the airline tickets this morning and sent my reservation form to Banana Beach for a king room. We normally go to Hawaii, but after 7 trips, I thought it was time for a change.

To those in the know, how does the snorkeling in Belize compare to that of the Big Island? That seems to be my husband's biggest concern that the snorkeling will not be very good.

My last query to those who have been to AC before: If you had seven days/nights, what would you consider a must do?

We are considering the cave tubing/black hole with Ian Anderson, but are unclear if we can get there from AC as a day trip, and if both could be done in one day.

We love to snorkel (we don't dive) and I'd like to see some ruins?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts! confused
