					<description><![CDATA[I’ll admit it. At 72 years old, I thought I had cruising figured out. You know the version I’m talking about. The one I usually write about. A plush robe. A spa appointment booked before I even unpacked. A glass of something bubbly in hand while watching the ocean do its hypnotic thing. My idea [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;m talking about the kind of travel that ruins you (in the best possible way) for anything else.

					<description><![CDATA[A Mediterranean summer offers long lunches that stretch into late afternoons. Feel the sand between your toes and the sounds of the waves. The sea shapes daily plans, and evenings invite you outside rather than back to your room. You don’t need to chase every postcard moment to feel satisfied. When you travel with intention, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Life gets busy. Work piles up. The family needs something. The house needs something. There’s always a reason to wait just a little longer. But [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;m all grown up at 72 and spring break has officially grown up along with me.
