haha... Matt, you know how I am... start job... clean parts, inspect parts for wear, order any replacement parts needed, wait for dealer to get parts in, start putting stuff together, button everything down, and refill fluids... start engine and check for leaks 
Total 2-3 weeks LOL
j/k, it's about a 6 hour job, given the right parts and tools at hand (get a 3 jaw puller from CT for sure - rent it) it can be done over a nice weekend.

I like having it around when working around pulleys... you see, belts mean you got pulleys, and they are on tapered ends, which requires a puller to get off... like your crank pulley, cam sprockets... isht like that. I did the head gasket of a neon (surprise surprise 
) and it required the removal of the crank pulley, which by the looks of it the Honda will require as well. Set everything to TDC of cyl #1 so it's all easy to align later on when you are putting everything back together. Don't bend any valves now 
j/k make sure the engine doesn't rotate while the timing belt is off, and the head is still on. once you pull the head, it's all good
