We were trying to save money on the way to San Pedro and did the 90 minute Water taxi for $30 from Belize City. We landed at 11:22am and caught the 1:30pm water taxi and arrived super tired and exhausted at our hotel around 4:30pm.

The other option was a 15 minute plane ride for $100. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚ We definitely learned our lesson and took the plane ride back. Which would you do? โœˆ๏ธ or ๐Ÿšค

NEW Restaurant Alert! ๐Ÿšจ @Delizitalian Steakhouse o NEW Restaurant Alert! ๐Ÿšจ @Delizitalian Steakhouse opened in December of last year in the Bucktown neighborhood. Dฤ“liz means โ€œdelightโ€ and โ€œpleasureโ€ and is derived from the Italian word Deliziosa. 

The restaurant is rooted in wood-fired cooking and quality ingredients. The menu highlights premium steak cuts from trusted Midwest purveyors alongside a limited allocation of 100% full-blooded Wagyu from Australia, a rare program available to only a handful of restaurants nationwide.

All pastas are made in-house, with seasonal stuffed varieties, reimagined nods to Chicago favorites, and gluten-free options. The menu encourages family-style dining, inviting guests to share starters, large-format steaks, and whole fish with wood-fired sides.
