I contacted someone via email but I haven't gotten a response. And I'm kind of anxious to receive answers. :-)
To make it easy on myself I will just copy and paste the email I sent here.
~~~~~~~~
I'm doing my "outside of the USA" research. I came across your email on a blog website. I was hoping you are still willing to answer questions for people like us. :-)
1. We are a farming family of 7. My husband is not ready to sit with his feet in the air just yet. So having something to do would be a must. Can you give different options for us to support ourselves in Belize? My husband will be 55 in October. He has farmed all his life. Is farming profitable?
2. Medical/Dental care is important to me as a mother. I have read that some people go north into Mexico for health care. Can you give an opinion or advice on this topic?
3. Schools - We are members of the Mennonite faith. We currently homeschool. We have heard/read there are some Mennonite groups in Belize. I have read that the group in Blue Creek Village have their own school. Do you know anything about homeschooling in Belize? And/or anything about the Mennonite group in Blue Creek or elsewhere? Also, land/acreage around the Blue Creek area?
4. Bugs/spiders....tarantulas, etc?. Mosquito/malaria? Important to get vaccinated for this? Yearly vaccination?
5. Weather (per region/area North, Central, South)....muggy? hurricanes? What area is least muggy?
Sorry, for so many questions. Since we are dairy farmers it will be harder for us to just take a month off and come see the area. I'm trying to get a handle on the area through questions. I know sometime down the road if (or as) we get more serious about leaving the USA, I will probably be the one (along with other friends and family) who will make the exploratory trip to Belize. My husband probably would not be able to come with me unless we can find someone to milk our cows for us while we are gone. Can't sell the cows just yet. :-)
So thank you in advance for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to tell me all you know! :-)
