Belize or Cozumel

Having never been to either place I am wondering if someone can advise me
on which one would be better to visit around end March, early April?
I will eventually be going to both but would like to hit the best time.

Where in Belize?

Go to Belize first.

I didn't say it had no current but as a rule, the drifts around San Pedro
are very gentle.

Hol Chan can have a more significant current but that site is not the type
of dive you would do at Coz either.

That was the big difference you found between the two? I have no response
to that.

Belikin is tastier than Carta Blanca.

Anything is tastier than Carta Blanca. Who would drink Carta Blanca when
there's so much better Mexican brew available?

Why is beer the standard for expense everywhere? Isn't there some
other price that could be used?

We didn't find the accommodations or the food any more expensive in
Belize but we stayed at basic rock-bottom places in each place. What
I did find more expensive was the air-fare to Belize.

Hookers?

Greg, I had 4 different sentences written here and they all came out
sounding wrong . . 1) at least you could think of something besides beer and
um, anyway, I can't remember the other 3. Oh well.

Rosalie, the international benchmark is usually how much a Big Mac costs,
but there's no McDonald's in San Pedro and so I went with the price of a
Belikin.

Mayhap part of the reason that I went there is because the beers are even
cheaper in Roatan. Sure wish I was a beer drinker.

I think it used to be a cup of coffee that was the standard. (Before
Big Macs existed). I don't drink either coffee or beer (nor do I eat
Big Macs much or keep track of what they cost) so neither comparison
does much for me. I guess it is hard to find one that most people
will relate to. I was just being grumpy.
