We went from a Virgin Voyages cruise straight into Innings Festival, which sounded like a chic travel plan until reality arrived with desert heat, loud music, and the growing awareness that we are not built for back-to-back chaos anymore. In this episode: cruise culture, sea-day nonsense, festival crowds, great music, too much sun, and the moment you realize your biggest personality trait is now hydration strategy. A weekend of boats, bands, and decisions that felt great at the time… and questionable by Monday.
