Sounds great...have heard great things about XtanHa. We are going back in Jan to continue our search. Since we are going to be there full time, we are looking South due to proximity to town and the Airport. But I think we will drive up there and ... Read More

Hi Gail, I think in Corozal you can live for that, but on Ambergris Caye it's more costly because everything has to be shipped in. I'm no expert on the subject for sure, but I have been reading, researching and learning as much as possible ... Read More

So sorry to hear Dr. Al was banned...while I did think he could be gruff and acidic I always listened to what he said, didn't always agree, but it was his feelings and I respected them. What a shame to ban a person for speaking his/her mind. ... Read More

Help the retired folk by kjoannaprichard
HI Everyone, I am a caregiver and wondered about moving there to help the retired folk. I lived on the big island of Hawaii for a year, so it may be a bit similar. Still I would have to get a work visa and it may be a stretch for me. What do you ...

Hello list, I've been watching and reading this list for a month or so and while I'm excited at the prospect of moving to Belize, some of the information received here is disconcerting. Specifically the comments by Dr. Al who sees the glass half ...
Oh sorry, didn't mean politically. I realize we can't vote, I guess I was thinking more along the lines of supporting our local stores, people, keeping our houses clean....much more basic approach, if there is one, perhaps not. Read More

Thanks Dr. Al...it's because of International Living we choose Belize in the first place. In March it was on their "one of the best places to retire" list that was put on my MSN Bing headlines news. They are a fickle bunch. Guess we'll just have ... Read More

What does everyone think of the Norweign Cruise line that is coming to town? Just curious, I have been reading the local paper and on line stories. I'm not sure what to think about it.
I feel the same way. I just hope they are good stewards of the environment and help more than they hurt. Spiceman you always seem so balanced and logical...nice to see your replies. Read More
