    2. Best steakhouse (Brazilian preferred)      
    3. Best dessert (unexpecting place preferred)    
    4. Famous person's restaurant    
    5. Classy bar

    Cayo Espanto: A Private Island

    Cayo Espanto: A Private Island

    Welcome to Wanderlust!  

    On this episode, we're visiting a private island in Belize.  I reached out and talked to one of the sales assistants about the island and he was kind enough to send me their welcome letter, a brochure, and their youtube video.  I read through it all, took some notes, checked out additional videos, and reached out to ask some follow-up questions.   

    I would 100% book this trip for our family.  I think it'd be a great experience for us all.  Oh, and the moment I'm able to rent out the entire island, I'm definitely doing it!
