FYI the new edition of Fodor's Belize & Guatemala 2005, which I co-authored and updated, is hot off the press from Random House. I just got an advance copy a couple of days ago.

The book has been completely redesigned. I think the new format will prove easier to read and be more useful for travelers. Of course it is completely updated. There is a chapter on Ambergris Caye.

This new guidebook should be in bookstores worldwide by October.

Congratulations on the new book Lan.

I looked up at my shelf to see if I had any of your book, but all I have is the Rough Guide to Belze, Mexico, and Guatemala.

I know Peter Eltringham personally.

I will try to get one of you book when it comes out.

YIPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Chris,

Yes, you are in the new edition.

There are a bunch of new editions of Belize guides coming out this fall, which should help the many new hotels and restaurants in Belize. Peter's new edition of Rough Guide to Belize (which is excellent) and the new Belize Handbook from Avalon, updated by Joshua Berman for two.

The 2nd edition of my Adapter Kit: Belize will be out in the spring, retitled and revamped as Live Abroad: Belize, also from Avalon. And the new Belize First Guide to the Best of Belize will be out one of these days. I'm also updating my eBook on living/retiring in Belize, Easy Belize.
