Mike, Sounds like the visit to Ambergris Caye I had, nice place and people.
Yes the airport is a real kick, we flew over in a Cessna 206 with the stall
warning going off every time the pilot pull the nose up. A very hairy ride
indeed. Did you dive Hol Chan Preserve, it was one of the cuts thru the reef,
and buy a chip before or after leaving. My most curious moment was landing at
the airport in Belize City and seeing the SAM anti-aircraft batteries at each
end of the runway. We don't have those at DFW International, where I work.

Life is not a race, it is a ride. Enjoy it!!

Ambergris Caye, about 22 miles north of San Pedro. First thing I noticed
when landing at the airport Was the "Decompression Center", with a
large
sign. No sand flees, but plenty of misquitos and these:

There is a barrier reef that extends up the coast, creating a channel where
everyone goes up and down in boats. The reef actually makes the water
a bit on the weedy side. At the place we stayed, due to the wind, the
beaches were constantly filling with seaweed, and raked by the local
staff, filling many wheel barrels every day.
I would not rate Belize very high on the beaches, and my wife requires
good beaches. The diving and snorkeling was good. But I probably
will not go back there again, as there are some other places that
have better overall experience, namely, if the wife is not too happy
it is hard to have a good time. :-)
