Episode 158 - Our Review of Sailing Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam - A Mid-Size Cruise Ship

Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam Review: Alaska Cruise Highlights Some cruise lines you try once. Others you come back to because they fit the way you like to travel. That’s been our experience with Holland America Line. In this episode, we’re sharing our honest review of the Nieuw Amsterdam after sailing an Alaska itinerary that included Glacier Bay National Park. This isn’t a megaship review — it’s about what daily life onboard is actually like, based on real experience, not marketing. Some links are affiliate links.

Episode 156 - What I Found When I Returned to Hong Kong After 20 Years + Our 2 Day Itinerary

Hong Kong was the final stop on our month-long journey through Asia, following our cruise from Hobart to Singapore. For Scott, it was a return after nearly 20 years. For Melissa, it was a first visit. What we both discovered was a city that felt surprisingly familiar, efficient, and easy to navigate.  In this episode, we explore Hong Kong through its world-class public transportation system, share our  memorable food experiences, reflect on cultural familiarity, and balance the intensity of the city with a day at Disney. Some links are affiliate links.

Episode 155 - How to See Singapore in 36 Hours!

In this episode we share that by only having 24 hours in Singapore puts you in “taste-test mode” — you’re not trying to do everything, you’re trying to feel the city. After disembarking from a cruise (with a few early-morning obstacles), we spent a full day chasing iconic Singapore experiences: kaya toast and local coffee at Ya Kun, the wow-factor of Gardens by the Bay [https://getyourguide.tp.st/gs4dPgVR] (OCBC Skyway, Cloud Forest, and Flower Dome), lunch at the famous Lau Pa Sat hawker center, and a festive night at Christmas Wonderland in Supertree Grove.

Help Support the Podcast by Buying us a Coffee  [https://coff.ee/sunshinetravelerspodcast] ☕️ or using our links whenever you book a trip!  We also share where we stayed (Conrad Singapore [https://booking.tp.st/wA5gqNCy]), what we’d do differently next time (food tour, satay, more time), and a key lesson about visiting Jewel Changi Airport — including what no one tells you about early baggage drop and terminal logistics. What You’ll Learn in This Episode   • How to plan a Singapore stopover when you only have one day  • What’s worth paying for at Gardens by the Bay (and what you can skip)  • What to expect at a hawker center without a guide (and how to order smarter)  • The truth about durian ice cream (smell, taste, and the after-effects)  • Why Jewel Changi Airport can be trickier than it looks (check-in timing + terminals)  • Why Singapore is a great gateway for Southeast Asia cruises   • How many days you really need to do Singapore right (your sweet spot: 3–4 days) Here's Your 36-Hour Singapore Itinerary  Morning (arrival + hotel area)   • Cruise disembarkation + immigration e-gates tip: pack a day bag for the final night (toiletries, meds, pajamas, change of clothes, laptop)  • Transport tip: Grab is the main ride-hailing app  • Breakfast: Ya Kun Kaya Toast (kaya toast + coffee) Late Morning–Afternoon   • Gardens by the Bay  [https://viator.tp.st/ecE8hdPp]  • OCBC Skyway [https://getyourguide.tp.st/cFiY6XL3] (iconic Supertree views and Marina Bay Sands)  • Cloud Forest [https://getyourguide.tp.st/cFiY6XL3](Jurassic Park exhibit + indoor waterfall + walkways)  • Flower Dome [https://getyourguide.tp.st/cFiY6XL3] (holiday train display and botanical zones) Lunch   • Lau Pa Sat hawker center   • Tip: order small items from multiple stalls instead of one big dish  • Reminder: clear your tray — signs warn of fines/bans Evening   • Evening Light Show at the SuperTree Grove (FREE) or if visiting during the holidays you'll need a ticket to the Christmas Wonderland at Supertree Grove   • or see the light and water show in front of Marina Bay Sands Hotel [https://tripadvisor.tp.st/HPzsusPG] - if you're not familiar check out the Marina Bay Sands episode on Amazing Hotels Departure Day Add-On   • Jewel Changi Airport waterfall + photo spots  • Reality check: early bag drop depends on airline desk hours  • Terminal note: you may have to change terminals by bus/taxi, depending on where you depart Quick Tips   • Don’t rely on same-day ticket luck if you only have one day — book Gardens by the Bay tickets ahead.  • If you’re choosing between Supertree Observatory and OCBC Skyway, you probably only need one for views.  • At hawker centers, go with a plan (or better: take a food tour). If you’re unsure, order a few small things from different stalls.  • For Jewel: check your airline’s early check-in hours and your departure terminal before building your timing around it. Where We Stayed  Conrad Singapore (Hilton)  [https://tripadvisor.tp.st/iDOBIPQB]  • Strong location for getting around  • Great value (you paid cash because points redemption wasn’t worth it)  • Upgrades + Diamond benefits made a big difference  • Excellent breakfast (lounge available but you didn’t have time) Best Moments   • The first “wow” view from the OCBC Skyway  • Cloud Forest: mist, waterfall, and Jurassic Park exhibit  • Holiday train display surprise inside Flower Dome  • Christmas Wonderland vibes in warm weather  • The chance encounter at the airport with fellow cruisers (and the Georgia Bulldog hat moment) What We'd Do Differently Next Time   • Add a food tour (especially for hawker centers)  • Try the satay you skipped at Lau Pa Sat  • Make time for Raffles Hotel + Singapore Sling   • Go up to Marina Bay Sands [https://tripadvisor.tp.st/HPzsusPG] rooftop bar / viewing area  • Plan a longer stay: 3–4 days to slow down and go beyond highlights If Singapore is on your list — whether as a stopover or a longer stay — we’d love to help you plan it in a way that fits how you actually like to travel.

Episode 154 - How We're Balancing Big Travel Dreams With Real Life in 2026

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we’re thinking about travel in 2026. Not dates. Not spreadsheets. But mindset. We talk honestly about the tension so many travelers feel.  Do you slow down and stay longer in one place… or do you keep exploring and saying yes to new destinations? For us, 2026 is shaping up to be a year where slow travel, cruising, meaningful return trips, and big bucket-list dreams all collide—while still balancing real jobs, responsibilities, and everyday life. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:  * Why we’re asking how we want to travel—not just where  * The ongoing pull between slow, immersive travel and cruise-style exploration * Why Antarctica has been on our bucket list long before the podcast ever existed * How our upcoming Antarctica group trip came together—and why bringing listeners along mattered * Spending time in Buenos Aires before Antarctica with a private guide, tango, and steak * Returning to Kenya for a Habitat for Humanity build near Laikipia—and why travel with impact matters to us * The reality of balancing a corporate job, content creation, finances, and big dreams * Why “just say yes” isn’t always simple—and why that’s okay * Our growing wish list for 2026. This episode isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about acknowledging the push and pull between aspiration and reality—and realizing that you’re not behind if you’re still figuring it out. We’d love to hear from you: * What’s on your bucket list right now? * What keeps getting pushed off? * Where are you struggling to find balance?

Episode 153 - What We Learned Through Travel in 2025: Key Experiences, Lessons, and What’s Next

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re stepping back from individual destinations to reflect on how we traveled this year, and how that is starting to shift everything for us. From revisiting familiar places in new ways to discovering hidden regions, connecting deeply with locals, and saying yes to moments we almost skipped, this episode is about travel moments and experiences that stay with you long after the trip ends. Instead of chasing checklists, we focused on connection, curiosity, and slowing down, and those choices led to some of our most meaningful travel moments yet. Some links are affiliate links.

Help Support the Podcast by Buying us a Coffee  [https://coff.ee/sunshinetravelerspodcast] ☕️ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:  How we Revisited Familiar Places but Differently * Alaska: Experiencing it by cruise after a previous road trip, flying over glaciers, landing at a remote lodge, and enjoying unrushed family time * London: Staying at a bucket-list hotel, exploring new neighborhoods, using a city pass to try experiences we’d never done before, and learning to say yes to spontaneity * Berlin & Hong Kong: Seeing cities through the lens of major political change—and how perspective shifts over time  How we Connected Through Food & Locals * A sangria-making class in Barcelona that completely changed what we thought sangria was * Why booking small-group tours—and inviting guides to eat with you—can unlock the most authentic experiences * Unforgettable food moments in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Ireland, where meals became conversations, cultural lessons, and memories  New Regions & Hidden Gems * Iceland stopover: Northern Lights, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and letting the landscape—not the clock—set the pace * Northern Ireland & Donegal: Slowing down, renting a car, and discovering areas that surprised us the most * Why going beyond the “must-see” list often delivers the richest travel experiences New Ways of Traveling * Walking through Umbria, Italy, town to town—luggage transported, senses fully engaged * Why walking (and cycling) travel changed how we connect with landscapes and people * Two very different cruises that reshaped how we think about cruise travel  Lessons That Changed How We Travel * Book tours with locals (smaller is better) * Learn culture through food * Be willing to miss something in order to go deeper * Remember: destinations aren’t designed to make you comfortable—they’re home to someone else  Moments We Almost Missed, but Didn’t * Whale watching in Eden, Australia * Extending an Alaska trip to Denali * Saying yes to Ireland at the last minute * Volunteering abroad—and how it reshaped future travel plans  2025 Milestones & Looking Ahead to 2026 * Reaching 6 out of 7 continents (with the final one coming soon!) * Counting countries—and debating what “counts.” * Why we’ve barely scratched the surface * What’s coming in 2026: Antarctica, safari, and more  OUR TAKEAWAYS FROM 2025  What mattered most this year wasn’t how far we went or how many places we saw; it was how intentional we became. The shared meals, quiet moments, and unplanned detours reminded us why we travel in the first place. As we head into 2026, our mission remains the same: to help you travel more and better.  STAY CONNECTED WITH US Have questions or thoughts, or need help planning your next trip? 📧 Email us: * Scott@sunshinetravelers.com [Scott@sunshinetravelers.com] or Melissa@sunshinetravelers.com [Melissa@sunshinetravelers.com] *  Want curated travel deals every week?
