Is anyone else looking forward to a vacation after treatment?

Thanks guys. I realize times are still tough for some so didn't want to come across bragging but the trip really is bittersweet for me. I love a beach trip anytime but this is somewhere I have wanted to go to for a long time and it was heartbreaking to have to cancel it before.



Science, I hope you had a great day trip with brunch on the boat.

We went to Maine for 8 nights. Just got back Monday. My wife and I used to go before we were married and last went about 7 years ago. My youngest daughter had never been. We all had a great time and booked the same place for next year.



Next trip is to Disney World for my parents' 50th anniversary.



Can't wait.

Going tomorrow for 3 day break without the kids.

I swear they are cheaper in the store..maybe $25-35? And itIS a two pack, so great price. .it's going on fall here so summer isn't in stock at my local store, can't check the price. I don't know if they carry "summer" all year in those comfy warmer states.

When I went to Grand Cayman last year with my girlfriends I had brought one for each of us. We left ours behind for a family whose mom was handicapped and she had loved borrowing ours...small price to pay to see their smiling faces.

My motherin law is planning a cruise for the whole family to Bermuda next June...I think I will get everyone the floats. Easy to pack when deflated, and fun to relax in.

Sciencegal, Hawaii sounds heavenly! I have a friend who goes every year for 4 weeks. She found a condo a decade or so ago, and it was $49/night then. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but she loves Hawaii, and trades off the cost of hotel service for a longer vacation in paradise.

I think you should go! Why wait?? That's North Ka'anapali Beach, just to get you thinking .....

Amy, did you fly there? Please share more details if you don't mind. I'm looking for a new beach to explore and have never been there.

Thanks for starting this happy thread! I finish chemo today!!!

Its my second time through chemo and I am so great full to be finishing. Stage 2 reconstruct in October and my dad has Sx early October to remove bladder and prostate for cancer.

We are trying to decide between beach and Italy for late spring. So fun to look!! Even thought of Bora Bora but expense and difficulty getting there make is hesitant. Love the idea of wine country in california too.

Any thoughts? I want to make some awesome memories:)

This looks like a Dreamy Thread! Hi, I am Jenifer...I recently attempted to celebrate my one year cancerversery, but instead got diagnosed with a second primary tumor in the "healthy" breast. So now I am back to square one...AGAIN. But when I come through this I really am going to get started on my Bucket List.

First, my DD is getting married in Charleston, SC in May 2014. Hope to be healed by then (fingers crossed)

We bought a cottage on the central Oregon Coast which I love, but there are a few other places I need to check off. I want to swim with the dolphins...anywhere, but Key West would be a good start. Then when the government gets back to work, I need a passport, because I want to view the Arora Borealis so badly and see Lake Louise. If I get those 2 things done I will be so grateful.

Anyone who wants to travel down through Georgia is welcomed to stay at our home. It is not on the coast, but I am originally from Savannah and you could use it as a stop over!! Same thing for Oregon, except the "Keiko Cottage" is having some renovations at the present.

Have a great day, ladies and husbands!!! ((HUGS))

sciencgal, congrats on 1 yr  and Happy birthday.  Yes road trip is fun.  I did road trips every years with my family-every winter, spring break n summer.  I cant wait to be back to normal to do that again.  Enjoy!!!

Happy birthday sciencegal. Have a great time in Reno!

We have a little place in Maui that we are heading to immediately after my fourth and final treatment - at the end of this month. The sun, surf and my family will help me celebrate finishing this phase of my cancer treatment. It's the beautiful place that I have been able to focus on during this past week of uncomfortable symptoms. I often visualize us taking off on the plane and waving goodbye to chemo!

Maui no ka oi!

2lovelybs, my family and I planning to go someetime this Nov, but since I am sick, no Maui hopefully next yr. I love Hawaii.  Been to Oahu 4 year ago loved it.   Sciencegal,  Lake Tahoe is beautiful.  I never been there but have seen  pics online.  I always want to go there.  Lake Tahoe, Big sur and Maui will be on my lists.
