You can indeed have Amazon send your items to you here, so no need to worry about that either.

We don't miss much. I do miss theatre and a broad range of live music. Cheaper wine would be nice.

Having banana trees in our garden, being able to pick and eat fresh coconuts whenever we want, being able to eat fish as within an hour of catching it, cooking outside every day, spending 3 hours shopping because we bump into so many friends along the way, stew chicken rice and beans, conch ceviche, snorkeling with rays any time I want, dancing all night at community celebrations, green iguanas in the tree outside our window - those things are priceless.

heart Hooray! A ray of hope. Thank you for the encouraging response. I am really tired of living on the sand, and having the only fish available for $25 next door - be something that was farm raised from who knows where, who knows when?
I can see where Trader Joe's 2 buck Chuck would be missed by wine drinkers! Theatre here is not what it used to be . . . so could wait for trip home. I am thrilled to hear that you actually have a groomer! Storm would be a "sand monster" otherwise.
Regarding the IGUANAS . . . really? Outside the window ?

good,fresh chocolate of any sort
things not going stale or limp constantly
did i mention not feeling sticky yet?
my gringo friends tell me they miss deli meats & sandwiches
bagels, multi grain & rye breads

so while you ponder missing bison steaks, brie & your 48 pairs of Uggs, consider that there are many BASIC STAPLES to miss too.

I can't bring my Tempurpedic? Why?
Also it is cottage cheese ( I can take or leave Brie); and these ARE my basic staples.

Living on the beach already, I know the life span for bread is the end of the day. I do really love bagels though. No Potato chips would hurt too. My electronics are rusted from the ocean air. I keep my M&M's in the fridge (or else they mold within hours). I keep electronic bars in all the closets to keep mildew off my clothes.
NO ANIMAL ANYWHERE should EVER have to eat whiskas! That would be a deal breaker, but was told I could have Orijen shipped. Do not know at what cost though. AND NO TARGET??? Does this place HAVE NO SOUL?
OH! THE HUMANITY!! Really re-thinking things now . . . There is AIR there, right? eek

Laguna was the only place you could buy Uggs (before they became popular among the demon spawn- and had to be manufactured in China). The Birkenstock guy down on Forest had them. Don't worry, Rainbows (flip flop of choice here) are still en vogue. Trust me at 5:30 am coming out of that water; a flip flop doesn't do it. We all have on our sheepskins.

Oh, come on . . .
No Rueben's there either? Not even a PASTRAMI RUEBEN? Why is that?

With all of the restaurants that seem to be there; why is there no "Deli" type places? I would think someone could clean up with one!

Well Michelle, I think they are gorgeous and they are part of the magnificent flora and fauna of Belize. Ambergris Caye is not so rich in wildlife as the mainland but we still have all sorts of interesting and wonderful wildlife here. If you are not a fan of wildlife up close and in your face, Belize may not be the place for you. You will get regular visitors to your home and sometimes in your home - of every persuasion. Eight legs, four legs, two legs, winged etc etc. We're always having to clean bat poop off of our walls, escort tarantulas to places that are safe away from our dogs and rescue Cane toads from being licked to death since our dogs discovered their psychedelic secretions. The land crabs are huge and can be quite a challenge to wrangle.

One of the things that attracted us to Belize was the access to wildlife and we have not been disappointed.
