Hey there, and welcome to The Adventures of Gramps and Honey Bee! We’re so glad you’re here.
We’re Gramps and Honey Bee—a travel-loving, cruise-chasing, always-up-for-something couple who believe life is meant to be lived to the fullest (preferably with a tropical drink in hand and sea breeze in our hair).
Between us, we’ve got three amazing daughters, one awesome son, and three rowdy, lovable grandboys who keep us on our toes—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. But make no mistake—we are not your “typical” grandparents. Gramps is the life of every party (yes, he’s the guy dancing at the sail-away party and entering every belly flop contest), and Honey Bee is usually right beside him, camera in hand, making sure no moment goes undocumented—especially when there’s a good story behind it.
We started this blog to share our passion for travel, our favorite destinations, and the unforgettable memories we’ve made—whether it’s exploring new ports, discovering incredible food, competing in cruise ship trivia, or just soaking in quiet moments on the balcony. We love helping others plan meaningful, fun, stress-free trips, and we hope our adventures inspire you to take a few of your own (spontaneous detours encouraged!).
Here, you’ll find cruise tips, family travel ideas, honest stories, and plenty of behind-the-scenes fun from our journeys as husband and wife, grandparents, and travel buddies for life. So whether you’re a fellow cruiser, a family vacationer, or someone who just loves a good travel story—you’ve got a seat with us.
Let the adventures begin!
