Definitely NOT too much detail - thanks for that especially! We also had a wonderful vacation in Belize but it was so different from yours it's hard to believe it's the same country! I, too, hope to have my photos and travelogues completed this week-end - time will tell!
We spent 3-4 weeks in Belize in 2003 and have traveled to Honduras 3 times and Guatemala twice since then. In planning our Belize trip (which included bits with my brother-in-law's family and bits with our daughter and her husband) I was really surprised by the expense of transportation compared to Hond and Guat. We're fond of chicken buses but they didn't always work since we were a bit off the beaten track for much of our trip this year so we hired various shuttles. There are great budget places out there, but not everyone wants to travel in a budget way and the higher end places are really amazingly high imo. We had mostly places we could fix our own meals and loved every place we stayed.
Thanks again for traveloguing! You've inspired me to get busy on mine!

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Made me want to go back. Agree with the expense part. Ours was probably more than most (for one week) because we booked separately (and in a hurry as we were leaving for CR the next day) and didn't get package deals. But oh well--we sure had a great time! Your great report brings all that back!
Good for you on the scuba-ing! Impressive. . .maybe I could get up some nerve for that sometime. . . ?!

I truly enjoyed your trip report. Belize has been on our list for awhile. Our preliminary planning is similar to the trip you took. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures.

we dove with ecologic too, and would totally recommend them. Charlie was the Dive Master for the other group on the boat we were on, and a great guy, like you said. Steve Lee (owner/manager?) was an incredible instructor - I listened in to one of his classes, and he was the best. If anyone want to learn scuba, or do a referral, go with him. Great!
Glad you had a good time!
