He has looked into Belize and Costa Rico but those counties are too ‘civilized’ for him. He wants a bit of a challenge, maybe in starting a small tourist business. And what Spanish DVD’s are best for learning the language? Is “Rocket Spanish ” any good? Rosetta Stone?
Wasn’t Daniel Ortega a dictator and drug czar? Maybe he’s cleaned up his image?

If my “son” (no blood relation) comes to USA from Belize on tourist visa and finds an employer who’ll hire him, can he later change visa status to permanent resident status?

I’d like to know if there is anything interesting to do in Belize besides scuba diving. I’m going to explore some of the archeological sites myself but it’s too much of an ordeal for a 2 yr. old. We really like a quiet beach away for all the tourist craziness if possible. I’m picking Belize because of the Maya sites but maybe it’s not the best family pick. We went to Cancun and hated the whole all-inclusive tourist thing and we thought Belize would be different. What do you think, are Costa Rica or Honduras (any others?) better, safer family choices?

I want to take my wife on a vacation that will be quite the experience. With that said, I am not looking at staying in a fancy hotel in the middle of “tourist town” surrounded by American franchises. I could stay home and see that. I have looked into Belize, spending one week in the jungle, one on the cayes, and one near the city (checking out Mayan ruins). I have found websites with hotels (in the loosest sense of the word) for cheap, as well as cheap airfare.

Since looking on Yahoo! Answers, some say that Belize is actually quite expensive. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for a cheap tropical experience? Perhaps more south, or even the northern end of South America?
Let me add a little information that will help. I have to be on “vacation” for about a month. Technically, I just can’t enter the United States otherwise I lose tax exempt status. So I am looking for a cheap place to stay for a month until I can go back to the US.

For 30 days, not including airfare, I want to stay under US$ 4000. I figure I should easily be able to pick up hotel costs for under US$1500. That leaves $2500 for food, travel, events, sightseeing, etc. Keep in mind that I want to split this vacation up into three areas: jungle, mainland, cayes.
