when we landed in belize there were machine gun implacements with camo nets on the runway. my wife turned to me and said what have you gotten us into? that was in the 70's. great diving, more land based activities. promised we'd go back. never did. culebra was ok but need to say there was a heavy anti 'gringo' vibe.
i'm a diver and a boat guy. st john has it all and a run to anegada is doable.
