I am unfamiliar with Reynolds. Do you have details on the company, such as where they are located and where they ship to (Belize City and/or Big Creek)? Thanks. Read More

I can't comment on SB because I've never been there (although I've met a lot of potential SB buyers when they visit the restaurants on the peninsula.) But I will comment on the airport because I pass it frequently. There has been no work ... Read More

I have not personally made the drive, but my neighbor (Yoann) drove his RV from Montreal and would be a good source of information for your trip. E-mail me off-line and I will give you his e-mail address. Good luck. Read More

All international flights come into the international airport in Belize City. Then you hop on one of the small domestic airlines--Maya Air or Tropic Air--to get to your final destination. (Maya Air and Tropic Air fly to all of the major population ... Read More

Sorry if you thought that I might suspect that you wanted to hide some income. That was not the intent. Just trying to alert you to the new risks that any American now faces with an overseas bank account. You can bring up to $5,000 USD with you ... Read More

Hi Libby. Someplace on this site there is an entire thread regarding setting up a bank account in Belize, and it is quite a bit more involved than doing so in North America. The concern, of course, is money laundering since Belize is one of the ... Read More

There are several Placencia forums on Facebook, including Placencia Rant and Rave and Maya Beach forum. You might consider posting there--the folks on it are pretty responsive. It sounds like you probably haven't visited Placencia. Life is very ... Read More

Hey Lookie. We have a (long-haired) border collie that we bring with us to Belize each year. We usually get her hair trimmed to one inch in length before coming so that she is not too hot and as it grows out, she has time to acclimate to the heat. ... Read More

Hi Mandee. I live in Placencia, and so will restrict my comments to Stann Creek. Work: Getting a work permit is not easy in Belize. While teachers in Belize rarely have college degrees, and you no doubt do, despite your better credentials, you will ... Read More
