Yaaayyyy Belize.
First night try Mayan World Guest House in Corozal , economical price by BZ standards. ( staying the night before in a Chetumal ,Mexico hotel can be cheaper still)
Be sure to give yourself lots of time, buy at least a week worth of BZ insurance , it is cheap and COMPULSORY.
Tell the BZ customs where you intend to leave the country and they will expect you to do that.They get a bit upset if you go out at another port. Not that there are more than two points for legally crossing the border .
Be sure to take a wandering ride around the Menonite colony of Shipyard ,south outside Orange Walk It 's like stepping back in time 100 years , a weird movie time warp with some modern stuff thrown in . For contrast laterdo the same at the Spanish Lookout colony which is thoroughly modern with respect to technology You can actually access the Lamanai Mayan ruins site by road if you go out the south end of the Shipyard Colony .Otherwise you would need to take the tour by boat upriver from the highway
