Creator's Key Takeaways

we have never gone away before this long and of course we've never been on the Odyssey before

we're about to get on this ship for months and months we've made this commitment

I'm about 70% excited about 20% sleep deprived and maybe 10% anxiety

we have an obstructed view but it's still got a lot of light

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. Join us for the journey. ------------------------------------ HASHTAGS: #dchiddengems #residentialcruising #villavieresidences #villavieodyssey #gaytravel ------------------------------------ 🎦 Chapters 00:00 Intro to Villa Vie Odyssey 02:55 Travel to Saint Lucia 05:03 Fond Doux Eco Resort 06:29 Anticipation and Seeing Odyssey 08:32 Seeing Cabin for First Time
