You're Invited | Iceland 2026

A personal invitation from Sarah

Hey Alex!

I've been thinking about something and I want to float it with you.

I booked a 7-day voyage through the fjords of Iceland in a Neptune Suite on Holland America and it's been my north star through a tough year. The dangling carrot that kept me going. It's ridiculous and I can't wait.

Here's the thing: I keep coming back to the same thought. If WE went on this cruise together, with our energies combined, it would be a lifetime memory.

So here's what I'm proposing. Why don't I lock in plans to take you on the cruise, so we both have something to look forward to this summer?

In the short time I have known you, you have grown close into my heart. You make me laugh until I cry. And I just think this would be a much more magical vacation with you at my side than with anyone else I can think of.

No pressure. Just floating the idea. But if you want to see what we'd be working with...
