On power, you are in luck: both US outlets and Belize's use Type A, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (110/190 V, 220/380 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 277/480 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Belize.
