We Want to See the Whole World

First class round trip = $11 each Hotel for 7 nights = $0 rental SUV from Budget for 8 days = $150 each We were supposed to be going to Mexico in February, but due to the new CDC guidelines we decided that wasn’t a good idea for us. Today, we booked a week in Tampa (via Orlando) over Valentine’s Day week. We’ve got a lot in store and I hope you’ll come back to read about it! While we’re in Tampa we’re going to be looking at housing areas and neighborhoods to hopefully pin down where we want to buy. 2 birds with one stone. Do you play the credit card game? I learned how to do it and so far we’ve managed to have some amazing trips for virtually free. Comment below if you’d like me to post more about it or if you play the game yourself. Tell me your stories!

 The day after our visit to Chania found us in Mykonos, a port we had loved last year. We woke at 6 and saw the sunrise. We're generally not up with the sunrise on vacation...or at least happy about it...but on this trip we saw more sunrises than we ever have.   We got off the ship at 7:30 and realized the seabus didn’t start until 9...we were a little in a sleep haze irritation and decided to just start walking. google maps said it wasn’t more than 30 minutes to town. This turned out to be one amazing accident let me tell y’all!   We got to old town and it was vacant! The only signs of life were the fishermen and shop owners getting ready for the day. This was prime photo opportunity. I knew I wanted photos of little venice that we had missed last time so I told Nate to navigate and find it for me.        It was so quiet! So incredibly peaceful. The only sound was the water hitting against barriers of the homes.      The man in...

 Time for our first formal night! Once Nate’s clothes showed up he did a quick change and we were ready to go.     According to wiki: Chania is the second largest city in Crete and dates back to 1100BC. The occupied history of the city is rather sad and worth the read...especially the section on World War II....which hit home for us because Nate’s grandmother is Jewish and was forced to leave Austria for China as a teen. We got up at 7 and just caught the sunrise as we went to breakfast   The harbor reminded me a lot of Cabo mixed with a little Malta to be honest.     After finishing our meal and taking advantage of the restaurant’s WC we continued our walking tour through the streets of Chania. We would definitely go back to Crete. It's very different from any other island we have visited and is saturated in history. We got back on the ship, changed, and went to the gym and then Solarium for a snack. sunset on the way to dinner: OOTN:
