Hi- im starting to plan a trip to Costa Rica or Belize , Hoduras (Roatan?) and am looking for some advice.
This would be my 1st trip, travelling alone - with hopes of meeting up with travel companions, or not. I'm a single male, looking for a possible place to retire in a not too distant future, and wanting to check out various places of interest - Costa, Honduras, Belize, etc.
Don't know if i should try to travel extensively, or just land someplace (or a couple places) and check out the expat situation. I don't know Spanish right now and, obviously, would have to learn some.
I'm not rich, and, even if I was, I like to live frugally and keep an eye on expenses. I;m really not interested in the touristy things and places, but want to get an idea of what the reality of moving down there would be like.
Should I drive? Travel by bus? Hitch?
I also want to spend relaxing time on a beach somewhere. I play music and am really into that, but would rather participate than just listen. Also like to try my hand at diving, snorkeling, sailing.
Would i be better off renting a small hut, house, apartment, sleep on the beach?
I hope to be traveling in Jan '12 and spending a couple weeks, flying in.
Some people have recommended going on a cruise, but, I don't know. My impression is it would be a big eat-fest, tourist mob type of thing.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Peace
Brewster
