My wife, Linda, three kids and I are moving to Belize fall, 2011. We are a missionary family moving to the St. Ignacio/Santa Elena area. We have a household we need to move -- at least important things and are considering renting a shipping container to move those items. More research needs to be done on our part as to the logistics of the property move -- timing, residency, work permist, etc. Any information or thoughts you might have will surely be appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Christine!

Thank you for your kind advice. I followed the link you provided and filled in the form, but it would not accept my email address. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Just that it would not accept the email address

Perhaps the .us.com throws it off? Thank you for helping!

Dear Christine and Julien,

Thank you both for your offers to help with the question of using a container to move to Belize. I've tried several times to use the link you sent, Christine, but it still will not accept my email address

pitzenr@peacemakers.us.com

I used my wife's backup email account and was able to get the form to accept my request for information. That was just this morning, so I don't have anything back from them as of yet. If that works and we are able to establish communication with them, I may not need an answer. Still, thought you should know that there is a struggle with email address like the ones we use in our Peacemakers ministry. Thanks again for your help, both of you!
