We are planning a trip that’s been 20 years in the making. Ever since we did a family cruise to the Bahamas two decades ago, my dad has talked about doing an Alaska cruise—always calling it a bucket list dream. And somewhere along the way, Melissa and I realized that if we didn’t make it happen soon, it might not happen at all. So we sat down, got serious, and planned the kind of Alaska cruise he’s always talked about. In this episode, we’re sharing how to choose the right cruise line, why Glacier Bay and Denali were musts, and what it means to make a lifelong travel dream come true finally—for him, and all of us.
