My Path Unwinding Travel.

0:27.2

And we're skipping reviews this week.

0:29.0

This is our revisiting of the treasure trip report from our April spring break cruise.

0:34.2

And we've got some fun audio with some guests we sailed with on board.

0:37.2

We'll talk

0:37.5

a little bit more about later. But Sam, I'm excited to talk about, you know, heading back to the
