The Moms Need a Vacation from their Vacation

The Moms are back from their vacation and, damn, do they need a vacation! Maxine and Millie are ready to fill you in on the ups and downs (literally) of their big cruise. Maxine recounts her near-death experience on a shore-excursion - complete with a ferry-mutiny. Millie faces her fear of drowning by spending a leisurely 23 minutes of her life underwater, with a death grip on the regulator (and the Dive Master). The friends talk about the difference between vacationing alone with your spouse and dragging the entire extended family along (spoiler: spouse only is a *little* more relaxing) and why Millie couldn’t relax, despite leaving her kids at home. They dig into “cruise culture” and why people lose their minds when they get on a boat.

But despite the challenges, Maxine wouldn’t have missed seeing her oldest son absolutely kill-it on stage and both managed to stay awake long enough to watch Beetlejuice (a 10pm show? Seriously?) And, as an added bonus, they now have a few new (incredibly talented) besties who may or may not (but definitely may) be making guest appearances in future episodes! Speaking of future episodes, there was SO much to talk about, you can look forward to more cruise adventure stories next week! And they really did save the best for last.

Please join us. Because a midlife crisis is more fun with friends!
