01 / A LITTLE FAMILY TIME

The best way
to start a trip.

Before the islands and ocean views, we’re heading to Orlando on June 23 to visit Adam, Michaela, and Stella. We’re also looking forward to meeting the new baby, who is due in February. A few days together will be a special beginning to this vacation.

On the morning of June 26, we’ll take Brightline from Orlando down to Miami, where we’ll board Norwegian Aura for a seven-night Caribbean cruise.
