My boyfriend & I will be visiting Belize next month for our first recon trip. We've been reading a lot of information online (including some of your blogs thank you!) and books, etc but we really need some first-hand exploration. This first trip will be short (Sept 19-24, only 6 days including travel time). We want to make the most of our limited time, and we would love some input from you expert expats since you've already gone through this. We don't intend to use this trip for touristy explorations since we can do that another time or once we've moved. We would like to get a better idea of the area, costs of living, housing, local food, and daily life basically understanding some of the changes we would experience and how to prepare for a move.
Here's the question: Any tips/suggestions on making the most of a short trip with the purposes of moving and how to make some contacts to check out housing, etc?
