Honeymoon: Spa Day

This is a bit overdue but I still thought it was worth posting from the honeymoon.

We went on a wonderful cruise aboard the Allure of the Seas for 7 days on our honeymoon.  It was a much needed break from the day to day issues of life and we had a lot of fun.  The one thing about cancer though is that where you go, it goes.  You can try not to think about it but the treatments leave you with limitations you must always be aware of – stay out of large crowds, no sushi, no buffets, stay away from coughing people, etc.  I actually wore a surgical mask while on the airplane to try to keep the germs away since it is just recycled air.  I got a lot less stares then I thought I would.  Also, many of the restaurants on the ship were buffet so that limited us in our food choices.  I’d like to say I was blissfully happy the entire trip but the medications they give you to help with the chemo side effects can cause your mood to sink when you are withdrawing from them. I wrote this while on the cruise but couldn’t post because the wifi cost $30 per HOUR!

Packing With Cancer


I am currently sitting in the airport waiting for our delayed flight to start our honeymoon! Yay! I am so excited we were allowed to go. 

Let me just say that packing was a royal b*tch though and almost did me in. I am one of those people who naturally tends towards ridiculously organized, over prepared, and prompt. This means a normal trip for me starts with a list of things to do and a packing list divided into categories. I save my lists so I don't reinvent the wheel each time I travel and it seems to work well for me.
