Creator's Key Takeaways
This 126 square f foot cruise ship balcony on the Villa Ve Odyssey is part of our home and is our connection to the outside world for the next 15 years.
We found a dark gray square table online. It's pretty compact, but it's the perfect height for the tables and the entire top lifts off to reveal hidden storage inside.

ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit.
