After living in two foreign countries, including Belze, I must say there are both postivies and negatives. But isn't that the same anywhere. I'm glad I did it and will probably move back to the islands some day. I loved "Don't stop the carnival" I could really relate to it and I laughed at many parts of it. Other parts almost made me cry because it brought back all the struggles of mananging resorts on an island. Even though it is not a true story, it could have been. I have friends who recently re-located to San Pedro- they have had so many problems, lost part of their newly built house to Hurricane Keith was one of their worse ordeals. But they are staying... I would be glad to share with you more personally about the good and bad of living in Belize. divensea@cobweb.net
