For vacation, mostly.  My wife and I are thinking of going there for our 5th anniversary and wanted to get feedback from others who have gone.  Any nice, romantic places?  Any places to avoid?  And since I'm sure I'll bring the camera, any photo locales to recommend?

I've been to Belize once.  It is a gorgeous place.  I'd recommend checking out the Belize Zoo.  It's definitely a little more rustic than say the San Diego Zoo...lol.  But there are some really unique animals and birds.  And, it's the closest I've ever been to most of the animals.  Worth an afternoon I thought. 

Enjoy your vacation!

I've not been..... Now, if you were asking about Costa Rica....

I have read, and heard from friends that have gone, that the diving is unreal!  So...get certified (if you aren't already) before you go!

I don't know anything about belize, except the rants & raves about the diving there...its supposed to be one of the best places in the world to dive. But because of that, its apparently expensive ( relative to other resorts ). Supposed to be abundance of wildlife too...great for shooting ( camera ).

If you ever decide on Jamaica, I have an apt. there for $200 weekly ;-)

WEnt there last year.  It was one of three stops on a cruise, so I didn't have to worry about driving.  It was beautiful there, although I had to see everything I could in eight hours.

Thanks for the feedback so far...we've booked the trip and are quite excited!  Any suggestions as to where to go/what to do are appreciated.  We're not divers, so that's out, though.
