I loved the Tropical breezes!

I had an excellent time in the Carribbean. I hope that's spelled right. I never can remember. I had so much fun, I'm already signing up for my next tropical cruise, next December! I have started thinking about doing a European one too. I don't know, I'm just looking into it. I liked it because I could pace myself and not worry about not having enough time to rest and relax. I thought Jamaica was the most beautiful place, but was saddened by the poverty on the island. The shack houses were disturbing. I can't imagine living in one of those during a hurricane. They must blow away everytime!

Grand Cayman was just beautiful! I wish we had explored the island more but after we snorkeled I was exhausted! It felt like I ran a marathon! We only snorkeled for about an hour, but I was really beat. It was so cool, seeing all the pretty fish underwater. I also conquered one of my fears, which is being in deep water with a wreck under me. It just creeps me out, but I did it! The water was so blue, I think I've never seen that shade of blue. I'll post some pictures so you can see.

The best part of the trip was the horseback riding excursion we took in Jamaica. I haven't done something like that in a very long time. It was a lot of fun, but a little scary when they took us into the ocean and ran our horses around. I thought I was going to fall off twice because they took our saddles off and it was bareback in a beautiful cove. I have had several people tell me I looked terrified in the pictures. I tried to weed those ones out and get rid of them.

It was kind of a let down coming home and being in the NY weather again. Even though it wasn't that cold, It was still depressing.

I plan to go to Florida in January to visit my sister and am thinking about all the great places we can go next year.

Treatment is continuing the same. I am still receiving Navelbine and it seems to be working wonders on the inflammation in my skin. It's almost gone except for one small scab. I am pleasantly surprised. This week we set the date for my first CT scan. I can't wait to find out what it's doing inside.
