"I have so come to
appreciate the culture and people of Belize from the whirlwind tour of the
country that I use every minute I have with the First Lady to learn more
about the future of Belize. The master plan for tourism and growth ensures
that this country won�t be a spring-break capital anytime soon. And the
locals are more than happy about sustained development."

"Just under 90 miles
north of Belize City, easily accessed by the Northern Highway, is the
Corozal District, an adventurer's paradise with rainforests, coastal
lagoons, and miles of untouched beaches. Peaceful and pristine, the
Corozal District beckons swimmers and divers to its crystal waters,
sunbathers to its shore, and hikers and homesteaders to its tracts of
tropical wilderness."

Belize in general is
my top get-away-from-it-all, back to nature, retire-off-the-grid pick. It's
also one of the world's top banking havens right now, a place where privacy
still matters."

"Belize, the former
British colony wedged between Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala, has
been known for its dazzling barrier reef and islets; recently, however,
inland Belize, with little-explored Maya ruins, rain forest and underground
rivers, has been gaining tourism momentum."

"In birding circles,
Belize is considered a crown jewel. More than 500 species have been recorded
here (there are only about 800 in the entire United States), their variety
far superior to the sparrowy brown commoners that loiter at Mom's bird
feeder back in Memphis."
Laura Boswell,

"I've swum the
waters of half a dozen Caribbean islands, but never before have I seen such
a vast array of marine life in one place."

"With an average
temperature of 26 degrees centigrade and sea temperatures around 30 degrees
centigrade, with brisk prevailing winds off the Caribbean Sea to cool the
country, Belize is a Mecca for divers and bird watchers and really can be
described as a paradise, it is possible to retire in Belize quite easily."

All About
Retiring in Belize
________________________________________________________
"Well, the fact of
the matter is, Belize is a real opportunity for British, American and
Western European retirees and PTs (private thinkers, perpetual travellers...)
alike."
"The nation is
English speaking- which appeals to Americans and Brits alike; it's part of
the Commonwealth meaning that the Queen is Chief of State - and its dollar
is intrinsically linked to the US dollar. All of these factors are in the
country's favour for British and American retirees in particular..."

Things To Explore

"consider the Cayo
District...land is still cheap here, there are few international retirees
and the landscape is quite unique in Belize with some rivers, low hills and
woodland that make you forget sometimes that you're in a tropical country!"

"Corozal or possibly
Orange Walk would be right for you. On the one hand life's quite quiet in
this neck of the woods, property prices are attractive and there are far
fewer expats that in the Cayes... but at the same time., the proximity of
Mexico and the Mexican city of Chetumal means residents here actually have
easy access to a whole new world where there is fantastic shopping, great
nightlife and superior amenities such as medical facilities for example."
