Very nice start. We want to hear all about the rest - except the part where it's "Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits" time. It's always sad to end a good vacation.
Can't wait to read more! We went to Belize in 2006 but did a Placencia/inland combo. I can't say rain forest because it was more south and a pine forest. We flew on a similar plane to Placencia and the landing was intense!
