Tentative depart for Belize 2/9-2/18 . Purpose; look into and talk with folks who have moved there from the US. I can look up all the information I care to, but face to face is the real measure of information. My question, how do I go about it? Who can I reach out to? I'm looking for direction.

I think you will find most people quite willing to give you all the info you need ,but, what info are you looking, for in what area , nd what lifestyle

franksway;
I left a comment earlier but for some reason I don't see it here. I am a Canadian Expat that lives here full time and offer information based on my experience to those who are looking into Belize as an option. I have a blog billdoesbelize that you can find under the community tab of this forum if you would like to check me out. Like you I prefer face to face conversations so I have sent you a contact request, if you are interested accept the request and we can set up a time for a video chat.

I am certainly not the final word on all that is Belize, but if you ask questions on this forum you will find people quite helpful, and you will get several different perspectives based on individual realities to any question you might ask.

Hope this helps and I look forward to connecting if I can be of assistance.

I realize I'm speaking in general terms, but specifics are slim at this time. City living, yes--- which side of the city can offer me safety, and night life. Suburb, close to city as possible with good transportation. These are only a couple. I will formulate more detail after I can obtain more info, not from what I have read, but from a face to face as I have wanted. My apologies for the vagueness!

first, you need to sharpen your communication skills.  What is your goal in moving to Belize?  Start a business retire?  That will determine the kind of advice you need.   Belize City is about 30,000 people and has little redeeming value, certainly no suburbs.  Most expats are on Ambergris Caye but it is pricey.  There are also many in N. Belize.
