Creator's Key Takeaways

We've had a great experience in our first voyage here on the Odyssey.

Transitioning from sea to land isn't as easy as you might think.

We can't help but have this really weird feeling, this lingering feeling that we've decided to call disembarkcation blues.

Having both the ship and our home here really helps us appreciate the other when we're not there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan for medical checkups and prescriptions before a long voyage.
Arrange for house care when away for an extended period.

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.
