Just went on a cruise on the Carnival Breeze, and it was amazing.

Cruised on the Vista in 2023,  Large overwhelming ship at times, and to be honest, its not one of my favorites.  But you're still on a cruise!

This was such a cool experience that we did this past Summer in Cozumel.  You dig in the beach for baby sea turtles, and you are working with marine biologist who help track them.  Afterwards they take you to another beach that has lunch (if you pay for it) and just a spot to relax.  I loved this experience so much.

Another great Cozumel experience.  We went with my dad, who has a hard time walking, and the staff was amazing throughout the entire time.   Our experience included Lunch and an Open bar, and the beach was incredible.

I've switched to Booking.com for a lot of my travel needs.  I find it to be cheaper and easier.

Southwest has the cheapest flights I can find.  Free bags help keep that cost down as well!

I was a part of a subscription box service, that sends you a box every month unless you cancel it.  I forgot to cancel the box the month this Hip Pack came, and I was annoyed at first, then glad I didn't.  This convenient hip pack goes with me everywhere I'm on vacation.  On Cruises, we usually do a beach day on port, and rather then carrying a bulky backpack, or trusting my swim suit pockets, instead this bag will carry my wallet, phone, passport, and whatever else I can think of.  Same with a Disney Vacation, that held snacks, wallets, any small souvenirs we bought.  I love this bag.

These Luggage sets are an airport must have.  Gone are the days of luggage that has two wheels, 4 wheels is the way to go.  Plus these come with a power bank to charge your phone while waiting to board your flight.

I don't wear makeup, but my wife does.  This thing folds up and fits everything nicely in a suitcase, then you can hang it on the door of your hotel or cruise cabin.  It doesn't take up much space, and it still ensures she has everything she needs to look her best on vacation.

These phone holders attach to the back of the tray on an airplane.  Letting you watch videos or whatever on your phone without the need to hold it.  This is a gamechanger for traveling with kids.
