WELCOME TO BELIZENORTH!

The straight scoop on Northern Belize.  What to expect if you visit.  Why you should think about retirement here.  Why not?

We will show you our view of Corozal and its surrounds -- in Northern Belize, close to the Mexican border. 

(Also some of our passions from our previous lives: Diner Food, C&W Music, Band-in-a Box,  Software Teamwork.)  

We are now publishing the Star.  Look here.

I wrote a Thriller about Belize.  I am completing yet another draft, but you can read the first few chapters here. 

I have a new website called RIXwest.    To see what else is new, click here.

Disclaimer:  This website represents our totally personal viewpoint of Belize.  We are Gringos   [i.e. "Strangers in a Strange Land"] and if your situation somewhat matches ours, you may find some very useful information here that you might not find on other more sales-oriented Belize sites.    

Another Disclaimer:  We've been here  since 1999 and Corozal is our home.  We think some constructive criticism might help the country.  If we criticize, it's not a political statement... it's just a couple of immigrants saying what they think.  If you disagree, let us know!  Change is inevitable, so it's good to talk about it!
