And what started as an adventure, I think, also became something else. We wanted to soak up the rare gift of extended time off. To stop rushing from one experience to the next and actually immerse ourselves in the journey. Every part of this was the trip, it wasn’t destination to destination. We explored everything around us and everything within us. And we really needed this.

When we won the cruise to the Mediterranean on What's in the Box?, we were so excited to see part of the world we'd dreamed about. Choosing our itinerary had so much to do with visiting Morocco. Our expectations were high, and they were met and then some. It was fantastic!

Paris was a dream come true in so many ways. First, just the city itself—its history, its energy, everything about it. It’s an incredible place to visit, a full immersion into so many things at once. Overwhelming in the best possible way. Whatever you come for, it surrounds you: architecture, art, style and fashion, food.
