YouTube Video Description

In 2008, my grandfather invited me on a cruise with him, but because of my "way too busy" life at the time, that trip never came to fruition. The ship we were supposed to be on was the #Carnival #Elation, and he actually ended up going on that ship with my sister a year later. Grandad died in December 2021, and being that I was then hooked on cruising by then, I always regretted not going on a trip with him all those years earlier. I booked this cruise, 15 years after the fact, in tribute to him. In this first episode, I travel from my home in El Paso vis airplane to Jacksonville. My friend Trey met up with me, and we stayed in a hotel before boarding the beautiful Carnival Elation.
