So... did I mention we were going on a cruise? It's true. We're going on a cruise (Venice, Italy to Athens, Greece) - in the hot hot heat of the hot hot summer in the hot hot Europe - in my hot hot hair. True!
My inlaws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary so we are meeting them at their half-way point (Venice) to spend the second part of the the trip with them through Croatia, Crete, Turkey and ending in Athens on the 4th of July.
Cruising isn't our normal travel choice - but..... we're game, and it's the Cunard Line and we're on the Queen Elizabeth... and I'm currently about 100 years old, so the pace should be about perfect for me.
Also, my mom is coming too, which makes me very happy! Should be a lot of fun hanging out with her so I'm pretty excited about that. What I'm not that excited about is what a sloth I am right now and how actually getting from point A to point B should be interesting. I have been feeling pretty good through this round of chemo, but overall, I'm just T I R E D - so if you wonder where I am, I'll be with all the little old ladies in the shade at the pool. Seriously. Maybe they will teach me how to play canasta?

It's pretty interesting to travel plan in my current "situation". I'm packing the strangest stuff, it really feels like I'm packing for my grandmother if I had one. I've got meds and creams and all sorts of supplements and potions. Plus I'm worrying about how I'm going to carry my carry-on and how I'm going to wear or not wear my hair on the flight. Jeezzzzz- I'm a treat right now! But, overall, I'm pretty excited to get away from here for 10 days and enjoy of view from somewhere else. And super happy to revisit Croatia if even for a day.
We leave on Thursday - back on July 7th. If I have the opportunity to post anything I will, but count on some good photo's when I get back.
Buon Viaggio!
