U.S. money can be spent there and the food and water are safely prepared for you. There is plenty of opportunity when on one of the teams to meet and get to know the local people. Belize is a Central American country, but it is more the flavor of most of the Caribbean islands.
It only takes about four and a half hours to fly to Belize. The climate is decidedly tropical and warm. 
There are times when the not so friendly mosquito can be a bit more of a nuisance. Portions of Belize are rain forest, some are tropical beaches and other areas are wetlands called mangroves. There is a variety of landscapes for all tastes.
To travel to Belize, you only need a valid U.S. passport. Some people prefer to get malaria medication to treat prophylactically, but most tropical immunizations are not necessary. Plan to travel as lightly as possible and keep plenty of space to bring back souvenirs of your trip. Cameras are a good idea.
