Estimated Reading Time: 30 minutes This episode is all about a trip my dad took over 30 years ago, where he rode a bicycle across the United States from the west coast to the east coast.

That would be fun to try someday.”
Estimated Reading Time: 15 minutes A few years ago, I took a trip on a cruise ship with a friend—my first cruise ever—and for today’s episode, I thought I’d share my experience.
