Creator's Key Takeaways
We have made it. The tunnel was closed across the bay here. So, we had a little bit of a of a wait to get across, but we're here.
This is absolutely stunning. Look at the whale.
I think the pizza was a little overhyped for me. It was good pizza. I wouldn't say it was great pizza.
This ship is amazing. Just dropped our carry-on off in the room.
