Chris is back this week! We're chatting about everything we love about cruising and why we think you should cruise for your next vacation - especially if you've never been on one!
There's so much to love about a cruise vacation and we talk about it. Let us know if we changed your mind ;)

Wind down the spooky month of October with us! Another busy month filled with a 200 mile relay race in Kentucky, separate guys/gals trips, our 10 year anniversary and first big hurricane in Florida.
As always, a chatty and laid back episode. We get off topic and talk about Dominos and Pizza Hut for a minute... hope you like it ;)

Hurricane Milton made its way to Florida last week and it was our first big hurricane since moving here about a year ago. We talk about what we did to prep, how we felt during the storm and how we faired afterwards.
Mixed in we discuss our most recent relay race in Kentucky and our 10 year wedding anniversary. Grab your favorite beverage and join us!

Hi all! This was pre-recorded about a week and a half ago before Hurricane Milton. You won't hear us mention the storm in this one because it wasn't on our radar at the point.
We are currently hunkering down, as prepared as we can be for the storm and are thinking of all our fellow Floridians as we go through this one together. Especially those on the West Coast. We hope this episode gives you a little laugh during what I know is a tense time for all of us.
Chris and Alex
You sent in your horror travel stories and we are sharing them with the world. Traveling is fun, but it isn't always without a little hiccup here and there. Usually we look back at them and laugh even if in the moment we're definitely not laughing.
If you have a horror travel story, DM it to me on Instagram or comment it below! We'd love to do another episode like this one. Happy Spooky Season!

We went to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and we're discussing if we'd give the fireworks, the food, the parade and more a yay or a nah. Enjoy and happy spooky season!

We went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando and experienced the houses, scare zones, the food and more. It was Chris's first time, so he's blind ranking his experiences today. He doesn't know what order I'm giving the items to him in so he has to try and make a blind decision.
Enjoy!

We tried out a bunch of the new items at Epcot's Food & Wine Festival so we decided to rank them.
Ranking system goes from:
Insane, you must try this Good, would eat again Fine Nope, don't get thisWe get a little silly in this one so we hope it makes you laugh today. Enjoy!

We’re bringing in a new format where we “wind down” the previous month by chatting about what we’ve done, some of our personal faves - Chris’s Lorcana cards and Alex’s book picks may or may not be discussed… and looking forward to the next month. This is a chatty, laid back episode. We hope you like it! Let us know your favorite way to unwind in the comments or DM Alex on Instagram!

Another week of blind rankings and this time Chris gets to choose his top 10 without seeing what the list is. He ended with 2 left… spot 1 and spot 10… rough. Listen to hear what he chose!
Let us know in the comments or on Instagram what you’d like us to rank next.

We’re trying out a new format today and “blind” ranking our experiences on the Disney Dream with Disney Cruise Line. Chris came up with a list of 10 experiences we had on our cruise and Alex gets to rank them before seeing them.
We had fun with this one so we hope you like it! Want us to rank something else? Let us know in the comments!

Yes, yes… it’s only the first of August, but here in Central Florida we’re already thinking about spooky season! Just a few short days from the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and less than a month from Halloween Horror Nights… we don’t play the same rules here.
Today’s episode we talk about HHN and MNSSHP, what the events are, what we’re excited about and more. If you have any questions about either event, reach out to Alex on Instagram @AlexWindingsTravels

Going back a decade, we talk about the biggest mistakes we’ve made while traveling or with our travels. From our honeymoon in 2014 to the first time at Disney World in 2019… we hope this episode can help you avoid some of these mistakes we’ve made while you laugh at us for them. Enjoy. :)

We spent a few days at Magic Kingdom recently to check out a few new food items, ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and celebrate the 4th of July. Was the 4th of July worth it? Did Tiana’s beignets hit? We chat about it.

A lot has changed in the almost 9 months since we made the move to call Central Florida home… including the way we travel and spend our money. We talk about how the way we think about travel is changing, how our budget has changed, how we have adjusted and more in this episode.
Thanks for listening!
