i'm supposed to be in Belize from Nov 5 to 15
should i cancel my trip since it is a month away

I am really not the one to ask about that. I just was trying to get across to people that were talking about going down this week or next, that they should not try to do it. I think that within a month, things will be on an upswing but until we know just how much damage there is...we won't have an idea of the length of time to clean up and rebuild.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida and it took almost a year after our last hurricane before all was back to normal. (or almost normal)

I would wait and see during the next couple of weeks. They can always use manual labor in the cleanup process though.
