Creator's Key Takeaways

I see a lot of people still using bags that are really heavy for them to lift. Get one that is the kind of carry-on that has wheels on it so that you can just pull it along.

I want to give you a little bit of history about the medallion. And the reason that I'm taking less than a minute to do that with you is because I want it to inform your perspective now and see how things are moving a little bit differently at Princess with the medallion than I think that the creator of the medallion originally intended.

Some days we just have to temper our expectations. Um some days we just have to realize that what we thought we were going to be able to order to be delivered to us is um not going to be that many things.

If you are in this part of the world, it is absolutely um wonderful to visit Bletchley Park.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a rolling carry-on bag that you can easily lift into overhead bins.
Check if your hotel has an elevator before booking, especially if you have luggage.
Always check out the cafe or tea room at historical sites in England for excellent food.
