December 2024 – vacation prep

cruise #1

Christmas PLUS vacation preparations are a lot. Both are things to look forward to but are A LOT. Last year and the year before, we left Calgary in mid December. This year…Christmas Day. I’ve never travelled ON Christmas Day – will the fight/airport experience be any different? Maybe? I kind of hope so but suspect it will be same ol’ same ol’. I also wonder if it’ll be super busy. I know the days surrounding Christmas are nuts for travel, but what about ACTUAL Christmas Day?

On Christmas morning we are headed to Fort Lauderdale for 3 days and then on to 2 cruises, yes 2! When we planned the first cruise, we figured that since the we were ending the cruise in Miami that their MUST be another one to get on the day we got off the first. We were right. We will be following a 10-day cruise with a 7 day one! This is a first for us.

cruise #2

The first cruise is on Regent which we’ve been on many times before, but the second cruise is on Explora Cruises. We think Explora will be very similar to Regent…size, inclusions, vibe etc… we will see.
