These are the 5 best things to do in San Pedro, Belize (and the mainland)

Here is the best of the best to do on your Belize vacation

Belize sea view

On the Eastern Seaboard of the Caribbean Sea is a cluster of islands that everyone seems to head for when they say they are going to the Caribbean. Of course, there are dozens of islands and activities to do on each one that can give you the time of your life. However, on the western side of the sea, tucked between the Yucatan Peninsula and Honduras, lies one of the most underrated gems in the region — Belize.

As somewhat of an orphan in the area, Belize is considered a Caribbean country due to its English-speaking population, similar to the islands on the opposite side of the water. Blessed with the warm waters of the Caribbean to the east and the dense jungle to the west, it's rich with adventurous experiences you can't get in many places so close together.

Delta Airlines might have screwed up in a big way this time

Delta Air Lines recently introduced significant changes to its SkyMiles program, aiming to simplify the process of earning rewards. While the airline's intention might have been to streamline the experience, these changes have left many customers deeply upset and dissatisfied. Not only do these alterations make it increasingly challenging for loyal passengers to enjoy coveted perks like access to the SkyLounge, but they also demand an exorbitant amount of spending to achieve and maintain status within the program.
The changes to Delta SkyMiles
Delta Air Lines, as one of the last big three U.S. airlines to make such a transition, has now definitively shifted toward a spending-based system for status qualification. On the surface, this might seem like a logical evolution for frequent flyer programs, but a deeper dive reveals the concerns that have customers up in arms.

To attain status in the new program, travelers must open their wallets wider than ever before. Delta's official website announces everything you need to know.

It's no secret that Google Flights is great — it shows you flight options from across the web for your chosen itinerary, allows you to adjust dates and specs to fit your needs, and is just an all-around great tool for travelers. But it doesn't always find the cheapest flights. Even if it does pull up the most affordable flight available, that particular flight might not necessarily be the best option for you. But Travel Arrow is here to change that.

Like most awesome things on the internet, Travel Arrow is making waves on TikTok. The tool can help you find the best cheap flight for your needs, and based on the comments section, people are stoked to see another travel hack to help make saving money on flights even better. No more keeping 15 browser tabs open to bounce back and forth and calculate which flight route will get you the most bang for your buck. Now, a simple Chrome extension can do all the work for you.
