Date Filmed: September 25, 2022
Hello Happy Travelers!
Welcome to our grand 10th anniversary trip! For the first time, we are traveling to Europe, and we are checking several bucket list items along the way! We are starting in Rome Italy, followed by a 9 night Mediterranean/Greek Isles Cruise onboard Odyssey of the Seas, and finishing in France to visit Disneyland Paris!
Welcome to Kusadasi Turkey! Most people visiting this port take an excursion to Ephesus; however, we decided to explore Kusadasi and see what was available right off the ship! We were totally surprised in the best way! Our day began with an impromptu tour of a rug making facility called Turkmens! We learned so much interesting information about how these famous Turkish rugs are produced! We then walked to a castle and explored the grounds for free! Once back onboard, we had fun trying some activities we have not experienced yet on Odyssey, such as Zone Zero virtual reality and the Effectors show!

Love seeing artisans at work! And your advice about taking a chance and meeting new people despite language barriers is important. Travel should be about social connections!
Hi Kaye L! We totally agree! Often times we live in fear of what could happen and instead of taking opportunities that could bring so much joy! We learned so much on this trip and the people we crossed paths with were the main reason for that! That's the beauty of travel! 🥰 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🇹🇷
This was fun. Thanks for helping me out on my upcoming cruise. You two are adorable. Keep on breaking down those travel barrier misconceptions and sharing the cultural side of trave. It is so important. Loved it. :)

Hey it's me your best friend Blair, just wanted to say hello. I've been really busy lately. I went on my Mardi Gras Halloween cruise, then I was in Vegas for Thanksgiving. But now I'm home and relaxing and catching up on my CZcams and I'm really enjoying this video. And one day I want to go to Turkey, and the rugs they were absolutely gorgeous. Anyway just wanted to say hey and let you know I'm watching as usual, okay that part!*🚢❤️👍🏾🇹🇷
Hi Blair! ❤️ We hope you had lots of fun on your travels and enjoying your relaxation at home! Thanks for always watching! 🤗❤️🇹🇷
I haven't been to this port yet but now I want to go 😁. The show looked good. Glad you got to do 2 things you couldn't before
Hi Dawn! ❤️ We we’re totally surprised by this port! We went in with little expectations and loved it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🇹🇷
Love your vlog!!
Would love to do this 💕
Hi Judy! It was such a fun day full of so many surprises! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🇹🇷
That was a great episode! What a great day. How could you walk away and NOT buy a carpet. So informative. Never heard of Turkish Delight. I’ll have to research it. We had to cancel Odyssey in December 😩. There will be other opportunities. Thanks for the entertainment.
Hi T Higgs! ❤️ Haha! We were not in the market for a carpet but wow were they stunning! The craftsmanship was unbelievable! I have never had Turkish Delight but I remembered it from the Narnia movies so I was on a mission to find it! 😆 I'm so sorry you had to cancel Odyssey! Hopefully you're able to sail on her soon! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🇹🇷
Kusadasi, meaning “Bird's Island”, one of the most popular cruise ship ports in all of Turkey. lol why there's lots of bird poop
Hi Melissa! Haha! That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
