Well, Nicaragua's dirt poor, El Salvador is on nobody's vacation itinerary that I know of, and Honduras can be really bad news. But Belize is supposed to be a fairly safe watersports mecca, Costa Rica is a low-rent but acceptably well run country with a very long history of democracy and a lot of American expatriates (been there), and Panama is pretty much a former colony of ours where Americans are still _quite_ welcome, thank you, as long as they fulfill their traditional obligations by brining money (this is from friends of mine who've been there). I'm leaving out Guatemala, but I have no opinion there.
