On Canada’s west coast, Rod’s boat repair business was overwhelmed with work in the summers and underwhelmed through the long wet winters.  Hearing of a small English speaking country called Belize in Central America, Rod decided to warm up the winter by driving down to check out the possibility of living and working in a country with no cold weather.

As days of non-stop driving alone can be tedious, Rod contacted his cousin, Nick, who had recently moved to Los Angeles and asked him if he wanted to accompany him on his adventure. Nick agreed and then asked “Um, where is Belize?”  which forms the title of this impromptu adventure, by two cousins who didn’t know one another.
