Thanks guys,
Is Belize City worth an afternoon or would you recommend getting to AC as quickly as possible? Also, realistically, how much time does it take to get from the Int'l airport to the boat docks? In addition, my friend and I are travelling separately, so economically, waiting around for her to arrive before catching a taxi into the city would be beneficial, however, there is a couple hours between our flights - is there anything of interest near the int'l airport or will I be bored out of my mind?

Tell your friend you'll meet her in San Pedro.

We took Tropic Air to AC from Belize City upon arrival. Most flights get in too late to possibly catch the late water taxi to AC after a taxi ride to downtown.
On our return just for the heck of it, we took water taxi from AC to BZ City...even though we had earlier in the week traveled by boat across the bay and up the jungle River to Bomba and eventually to Altun Ha and Maruba with Searious Tours which are located in front of Rubys Hotel.
It was raining like heck when we loaded our gear in the water taxi and we left at the 9:30 a.m. water taxi. Had to cover up and still got wet and chilled, but then it was an adventure....
We spent a couple of hours riding around BZ City...enough for me anytime...then went to the airport. For the difference in price the plane is much better BUT to get another taste of beautiful people and a beautiful country, be adventuresome...watch the weather and take the taxi.

thanks - I actually arrive at 10am, so I have plenty of time to catch the boats - just a matter of the effort and time involved! Since waiting around for my friend doesn't seem the most appealing option, cost of taxi plus boat for one is practically equal to the plane. Unless someone has a completely convincing argument in favor of the boats, I think I'll fly ![[Linked Image]](//ambergriscaye.com/message/wink.gif) Thanks for all the insight!!
