Trip report
Hello every one. We are now 39 days away from our "Kickin Cancer's Butt" trip and I'm getting down right excited! I have 2 more chemo treatments then the pic line comes out and I can swim again! I still have one more surgery in the fall but the end of treatment is coming into focus!
Little backdrop to our story. We are a little, powerful family if 3. My DD is 16 and Ds is 12. We've been a formidable little gang since their dad walked out of our lives 10 years ago. We love to travel and have been doing it since DS was 2. Both of my kids are dancers. DS is in a professional ballet program in Toronto and only gets the month of Aug off when his sister is off. DD is a competitive dancer so in the winter we are travelling to competitions. She is currently training with a regional ballet company in Toronto right now too, so I am childless for the next 2 weeks! She is entering her last year of high school this fall but hopes to go to the same school as DS fir her post secondary program so maybe soon they will be on the same holiday schedule!
The plan was hatched while I've been laying around trying to recoup from this cancer deal. I was diagnosed Oct 1 with a 5 cm tumour but I've been through chemo, radiation and surgery that seemed to have gotten everything ( of course you just never know though) the chemo I'm doing now is the "clean up crew" making sure there are no rogue bad cells hanging around. Radiation was terrible and I didn't get over my surgery well. I actually ended up being airlifted in March to a critical care centre with septic shock after my surgery. But I'm getting much stronger, my scooter has gone back and I'm working on my walking strength.
One of my bucket lists has been to go Discovery Cove since it opened. So that is number one on my list for this trip. That gave us 14 days at sea world and aquatics and I so looking forward to that. I also am going to upgrade our buy 2 get one free Uni resale tickets to power passes ( not sure if I should totally upgrade to the other annual pass)
The first 3 nights, we are staying club level at Portifino! Then we are off to Sheraton vistana Resort for 7 more nights! Yesterday I found our Sheraton stay 500 cheaper so I rebooked for the savings. I've been keeping an eye on groupon, living social and others to get some meal deals.
Today I ordered minion tanks for DD and I (I already found a shirt for DS previously) and a hogwarts shirts for each of us today online at Walmart.com.
