OK, after hearing all of your information, which was very valuable, we've decided to stay for a few days at Maruba, then for a week in San Pedro. Now my question is about the bus situation. I found a bus schedule listing on one of the websites (travelbelize.org), but was wondering if the bus will be able to get us to Maruba from the airport. I don't want to be too cheap about our trip, but I can't see spending over $100 for a ride when the bus is less than $5. I've heard that it's even closer to getting to know some of the locals, etc. Like I said, I've got generic information about when and where the busses go, but I don't want to get dropped off on the Northern Highway and then have to walk 5 miles to Maruba. I emailed them about it, and all I got for a reply was the address, no directions or information about whether or not the bus could get us there. What's the REAL story with the busses, recommendations about this idea, etc...
Thanks again.
Dave
