How can you get the battery to Belize?

First, thanks to all who responded  to my post.  I've got it all sorted out.
I purchase two new beacons lights which had 106 Watt bulbs for 110VAC.
Bought two strings of LED lights which had more Lumens than a 100W bulb.
Took the transformer off both sets off lights so they would run on 12VDC.
Then I coiled them around an old paint roller cover and stuffed them in the
beacon housing.  Purchased a sensor to limit operation to night time and  a
flasher from Amazon.   Got a 100W solar panel , a 35 A/hour battery and
voltage regulator also. 
Panel and battery have not yet arrived, but I tested the system and it is
very bright and flashes about once a second.  I wasted (it really wasn't
needed except to satisfy them) for around $250 on the entire system.
Whoever said hams were cheap is right.
