S&S, you might want check www.belizeforums.com and do a search. Lots of current and past discussion, including a recent jolt to road travelers going into Belize that requires a substantial cash bond to be posted on the vehicle if you plan to stay for more than 30 days. It's an effort that requires lots of digging into crossing two foreign borders to get to Belize.

Last year I flew from California to Brownsville, Texas, got a ride across the boarder and took and express bus to Chetamal. That was a two-day trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I don’t speak a word of Spanish. The bus was frequently stopped and they come through searching people. I don’t know how you would handle that driving. I like adventure and trying new things. It sounds to me like you do too. Have you considered finding a Belizean who would make the trip with you? Or at someone who spoke Spanish to help you through Mexico? I sold my home in California, had the movers pack and ship everything. Mine had to go through the Panama Canal but come in about 6 weeks in good condition. That is another topic and if you want more information I would be happy to share.

Scubldy, you are right, I LOVE adventure. We have considered hiring someone to go with us, or maybe get in with one of those RV groups who travel the PanAmerican highway. It still sounds like an experience that would stick with me. I'd love to hear what you can tell me about sending your belongings. I don't have too much stuff, but I'm not sure of what it takes to ship it. Shall we start another post, or would you rather PM me?
