You're quite right, it's a 4:30 p.m. departure. I'm pretty sure we will take the regular bus and arrive around 3:00 then take a taxi to the airstrip.

I'd be interested in seeing the zoo, but since we will be carrying all of our luggage, I don't think it's possible for a convenient stopover on the way to the airport.

I would take one of the morning express buses and show up in Belize City early if there was a safe place to store our luggage and walk around for the day. Does anyone know if there are lockers we can rent in the city or anything similar to that?

Thanks!
