Hello! We are Jamie and Skylar, welcome to our channel 🌴🌞
We're originally from the Midwest (Kansas🌾& Iowa🌽) and 12 years ago we sold ALMOST everything and moved to a city we'd never been to in Florida. Our channel is about sharing our travels around Florida and the Caribbean. We hop on cruises, relax at resorts and explore Caribbean islands. We also love to visit beaches and experience coastal cities here in Florida. Along the way we visit coffee shops, restaurants and breweries and go on paddling, hiking and biking adventures.
We would love for you to join us on our adventures by subscribing to our channel if you enjoy our content. It is absolutely free to subscribe and it means so much to us when you support our channel!
Thanks for stopping by, see you next time!

So many of you have asked if we'd consider a cruise to Alaska....
...we knew eventually we would try a cruise there, but we weren’t sure if we’d enjoy it as much as warm weather cruises since we heard they have a totally different vibe. Last week it finally happened!
While we have been editing non stop since we returned home from Seattle, our next Panhandle episode isn’t quite ready.
We will see you all next week.

We now understand why so many of you all said we had to visit the Panhandle 🌞🌴
We spent 10 days on a road trip and found many new favorite spots that we can't wait to share with you all 😁
While we have been editing like crazy since we returned home, we don't quite yet have an episode ready for the channel this morning.
We will see you all next week, but in the meantime we will be sorting through footage and sharing some clips & pics from the trip over on IG (explor_cation) and FB (explorcation).

🎉 Happy New Year everyone!!!
It was a chilly NYE here in Florida but we enjoyed it with great music and friends. We will be kicking off 2026 on the channel this Saturday with a new episode. If there are any destinations you'd like to see us visit in 2026 let us know in the comments!
We hope you all have had a wonderful start to the year so far.

Merry 🎄 Christmas & Happy⛄Holidays! Where did you celebrate this year?
We got to spend Christmas Eve in Florida with family ❤️ and have been getting in some much needed relaxation since.
There won't be a new episode today, but we will be back the first Saturday in 2026.
Thank you all for continuing along on this crazy journey with us, you made 2025 a year to remember. Here's to what's to come in 2026 🍻
