From Blue Hole to Great Deals: Belize Beckons Expats Before I moved to Belize, I'd heard of black holes in space. But then I began to hear about a famous and fabled "blue hole" in the ocean off Belize. One that divers fantasize about. And, I understand that it is even visible from outer space. As we don’t have polluted air down here in Belize it is easy to see our fabulous and pristine sites. The stunning offshore phenomenon known as The Great Blue Hole even fascinated Jacques Cousteau. Belizeans think it should be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. ---> read more. |
ABC Islands: Dutch, Caribbean and Oh So Different! Pt 2 of 2 Bonaire, the least developed of the ABC island, is famous for what's not on the island, but surrounding it under the water. Diving is its magnet and it is THE spot for those who want to spend their time under the water and not gazing out at it from the beach. Curacao is quite the opposite with Willemstad, its capital a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a colonial treasure filled with historic sites and residents who speak four distinct languages. ---> read more. |
Tales of a Peace Corp Volunteer in Dominica (a Series) In that second year of Peace Corps service, Dominica became home. Coming back to Dominica after a trip abroad, I always feel different: less tension in my shoulders, a spring in my step and a smile on my face because I am arriving in a place that I know and love. Dominica is the epitome of the Caribbean lifestyle: a beautiful environment of lush jungle and gorgeous beaches; it is less developed so no ‘concrete jungle’ syndrome; it never gets cold; you can always find something to eat off a tree, the ground or in the sea; there is water in abundance, plus the people are warm and friendly. ---> read more. |
Hidden Gems of the French Caribbean, Part 2 of 2 Marie-Galante is a place of simple rural traditions, fostering the art of living calmly and peaceable. Les Saintes are the perfect spot for those who relish unspoiled tropical beauty and the serenity that comes from doing next to nothing on a vacation, but doing it à la française. This group is scenic and breathtakingly beautiful. Both islands are a thrown back to another time, another era that does not exist in the current world of French nations and territories; and as such, they are a “must” experience. ---> read more. |
Granada: Great Sultan of the Great Lake Nicaragua, a country of heartbreaking and beautiful counterbalance. Granada is its jewel. One of the oldest cities in the Americas’ it maintained its old footprint, growing neither out nor up. A witness and a victim to battles with and invasions from English, French and Dutch pirates trying to take control of Nicaragua Granada was once virtually destroyed by fire. Fortunately, it survived and avoided damage during the years of conflict in Nicaragua in the 1980s. Granada is more than just the ‘Great Sultan of the Great Lake’ – it is a one-of-a-kind city that is a must see, and a city that one can never forget. ---> read more. |

Mortgage Matters May 2010 Ultimately, the decision to purchase property in the Caribbean is one of either investment or lifestyle, in some cases both. And many experts agree that the Caribbean offers good investment potential. As an established tourist market, not to mention a hot spot for holiday-homers and retirees, the desirability of these islands is unlikely to diminish. Consequently, rental returns tend to be good, especially as this is a year round market. ---> read more. |
Investors and Funding May 2010 In the first instance lenders do not want to wade through hundreds of pages of pretty pictures with no substance. Two to three pages of solid facts and a brief overview (the Executive Summary) of your project will very quickly get you to first base.

Clews Views May 2010 Putting my money where my mouth has been for the past year, I bought a home in the village of El Pino, Honduras and recently arrived to set up housekeeping. Soon I found myself sitting somewhat forlornly in my new home with a broken refrigerator, white screen TV, and hot water that ran ice cold. Outside, the sun was shining, a tropical breeze was blowing, and the easy sweep of swaying palms accented the aura of paradise found. And, as it usually is in an out of the way paradise, my mechanically-minded new neighbor came to my rescue and within hours (for very little cost I might add) I was freshly showered, and happily drinking a cold soda in front of a working TV. ---> read more. |
