Cruise Travel Day | Early Morning Flight to San Diego + Exploring the City | April 17th, 2026

This is it — travel day. We’re heading out from Edmonton, connecting through Vancouver, and making our way to San Diego for our 7-Day Baja Peninsula cruise with Holland America. It started early… like 4:00 AM early 😅 But honestly? Everything went pretty smooth. In this video, we take you along for the full journey: • Early morning departure from Edmonton • Quick airport experience (NEXUS definitely helps) • Smooth first flight to Vancouver • Tight connection, customs, and getting to our next gate • Landing in San Diego and that first hit of warm weather • Checking into the Marriott Marquis • Exploring Seaport Village and the waterfront • Touring the USS Midway (highly recommend this) • Ice cream stop (because priorities) • Yorkie souvenir shopping… obviously 🐾 • Pool time, pizza, and finally slowing down after a long day By the end of the day, we’re exhausted… but excited — because tomorrow is embarkation day. This is where the cruise really begins. 🧭 HASHTAGS #TravelDay #CruiseVlog #SanDiegoTravel #BajaCruise #HollandAmerica #CruiseLife #FlightVlog #TravelCouple #StephAndRickUnpacked #FromCanadaToMexico #zaandam 🎯 TAG KEYWORDS travel day cruise vlog, edmonton to san diego travel, vancouver connection airport, cruise travel tips, flying day before cruise, san diego cruise port hotel, uss midway tour san diego, seaport village san diego, cruise embarkation prep, holland america cruise travel, travel vlog couple, steph and rick unpacked zaandam.
