To celebrate Eddie’s retirement from the Army we spent the last year planning this momentous trip. We had tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix (May 2020) and Running of the Bulls (July 2020) which both obviously got canceled due to the pandemic. 🙁 Therefore, we decided to hit those events this summer (2023) and filled the 8 weeks in between with one seriously amazing vacation!

Love that you are documenting your travels to share. That Sky Lagoon! So glad you all went – we loved it there. Hopefully we will be joining the retirement travel stage sooner than later.
Great video! And super traveling tips for Iceland, thank you!
