What happens when a cruise stop turns into one of your favorite resort vacations ever?
In this episode of Explorations All Over, Russ shares how a brief visit to Grand Case, St. Martin during a cruise led to not just one return trip — but several.

It’s about finding a place that sticks with you long after the suitcase is unpacked.
Plus, a hilarious dinner mishap involving shrimp, finger bowls, and a new phrase you’ll never forget: shrimp dip.
