Starting from San Diego or Texas .... or?
If San Diego, maybe go South through Baja? Take La Paz Ferry to mainland. About $150 US for you and the bike.
Good chance you'll run into travelers in Baja. Peso now up to 17 per USD, but terrible inflation in Mexico off sets the gain. (Rate really should be about 25 per USD)
Belize has good snorkeling ... if you get calm weather. November is Hurricane season ("Choco Mil"), sometimes water is murky. Enjoy the huge Manta Rays laying on the bottom. Great reefs to explore ... and the fresh water Cenotes in Belize and Guat. are worth spending time in to decompress.
I spent 3 weeks on Cay Caulker many years ago. (one of many islands off mainland Belize)
Have fun!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
