Retiring in Sanctuary Belize: Tarnished Dreams
2014-01-06 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
I've been executing on a long-term dream of retiring in Belize. I've been putting some rigor into the effort to make sure the perception of the dream doesn't outpace reality. I've often been brought in on projects that should have been shut down early, largely because executive staff had lost track of reality. I don't want to make the same mistake with this important project.

Belize Sugar Cane Farmers get tough on B.S.I.
2013-11-14 07:19:21| Sugar Industry News
We have been reporting that there is unease in the sugar industry because the Belize Sugar Industries has closed the door on discussions with the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association on revenue sharing in respect of bagasse. The BSCFA says B.S.I. is making millions of dollars in from the bio-fuel used to generate energy fed to the national grid. They also say, there is an agreement with B.S.I. on revenue sharing and the farmers are asking for ten dollars per ton of sugar cane brought to the mills. The BSCFA has upped the ante saying that it has a mandate from the farmers that unless they sign an agreement that involves bagasse, they will not be delivering any sugar when the next crop season opens on November twenty-fifth. The situation could deteriorate because farmers are not likely to sit back quietly. The BSCFA told News Five that it is meeting with its board members this Thursday to further review B.S.I.\'s position and that a follow up meeting will be held with their attorneys.

The Ups and Downs of Planning a Retirement in Belize

A couple of years ago, I wrote on the beginning of my long-term plan to eventually retire in Belize. My wife and I just came back from our latest update trip. Our house plans are nearly finished, and we should start building within 12 months. There have been a lot of impressive improvements since we started on this journey but some disappointments as well.
