Going to Belize in january!! Any suggestions on must sees?

[Coralgurl]

I've never been to a tropical place ever so I'm pretty excited to be doing this trip. Tickets were booked today...woohoo!

So what do I need to know, do we need shots? Part of this trip is to look at land for possible investment opportunities, the rest is being tourists! Jason likes to hike more than chillin on a beach, I'm not in beach shape myself so this would be ok! But we do want to maybe try snorkeling, probably not enough time to do scuba training.

Looking for anything you guys can throw at me, what should not be missed?? Food, entertainment etc.

Thanks!

Where in Belize are you going?

It's easy to jump around to a few different places while your there. I'd look into San Padro on Ambregris caye for beach and snorkeling and maybe Orage walk for jungle and hikeing.
Check out Trip advisor for tips and tricks. We hav always found it a great resource

Talk to your Dr about getting Hep A and B shots
I needs to be done well ahead of your travel date

Not sure of exact destination, we fly into and out of cancun then will travel there and back. I was in the middle of a water change when he booked...lol

Shots - I will call tomorrow to get them set up. We also need to renew our passports as they expire before we go.

Will check out trip advisor as noted as well, Jason has gone out for a few hours so will get details when he comes back.

not all family doctors will provide vaccinations for travel. This is the travel clinic my wife and I used. Typically travel medicine is not covered by Alberta Health.

there is a consultation fee that is not eligible under most health insurance plans, but the vaccinations (with DIN) are often eligible for out-of-pocket reimbursement for most drug plans (if you have one).

I've not been to Belize. Have been researching this resort: http://www.almondbeachbelize.com/

and their listed activities

Good to know about the shots, thank you!

My daughter has an underwater camera I'm going to use, it's a point and shoot. I have a dslr, but I still suck at pics so might take my old point and shoot as well as it takes great photos.

I will post more details once I know!

I'm not worried about my tanks as my daughter has gotten good at taking care of them while we are away.

Well, this is not a suitcase trip I've learned, we will be traveling all over so will be looking for a good backpack. From the coast to the mountains. Jason pulled up his maps from when he went in the 90's so he knows where he wants to go. should be an adventure! I'm so planning the next trip, all our travels have been go go go, need a down time trip, but I'm not complaining, this will be great

[Reef_Geek]

yeah, I'm definitely going to hit you up for tips when you get back. take lots of pictures no matter what camera you're using!

Book an appointment with the Public Health Nurse, they will give you the information on which shots etc you need. In most cases they can give you the shots as well.
