Date: 02/16/2010 Author: Dan PrescherOur little 12-seat plane skimmed over the endless citrus groves of Belize’s Stann Creek district, then suddenly swooped down on a tiny runway that appeared between the trees and smacked the tarmac with a satisfying bump.

Read OnThe Most Idyllic Real Estate Deal in Belize
Date: 01/22/2010Belize is a country of amazing natural beauty. From its Caribbean shores to its jungle interior, Belize is a nature-lover's paradise. Her barrier reef is second only in size to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. On the mainland, unspoiled coast is backed by lush tropical forests and Mayan ruins.

Why I Chose Belize
Date: 01/18/2010By Margot Brown
It had been more than 19 years since I had been to Belize. Back then it was a two-night stay as I traveled with my husband and four of his buddies. We hired a local to boat us to Ambergris Caye. Arriving late at night, we went directly to a restaurant that had white sandy floors, excellent jerk chicken, and watermelon juice.

Belize: Live the Caribbean Dream For Less
Date: 12/10/2009If you want to live for all or part of the year in a delightful Caribbean climate, you have many countries to choose from. Martinique, for instance, is virtually unrivaled for its gorgeous, tropical coasts. But if you prefer an English-speaking country, Martinique isn’t for you—and neither are the Dominican Republican, Haiti, Honduras, nor many other places in the Caribbean. Sure, there are some English-speaking countries in the area, such as Barbados, the Bahamas, and Antigua—but those can be very pricey.
So, if you are looking for all three of these criteria—a Caribbean climate, an English-speaking population, and relatively low prices—the choices are few. But, there is one place that has all of these things—Belize.
