Just for fun. Did you take a bucket list trip?

My first trip was to Las Vegas. It was actually selected by my then caregivers as a way to thank them for getting me through treatment. I wanted to see Hoover Dam, walk in the desert, and see a show. My sister's performance partner and his wife bought us tickets to 'Love' by Circe de Soleil. Gambling was way down the list so I only left a few dollars in their machines.

My bucket list trip was more spur of the moment - I wanted to go anywhere, just to get away. As you know, I have battled 5 cancers in 19 years, so getting away wasn't on the horizon because of finances. A friend offered a visit to her in Florida, and while there she made me call my cousin's ex-wife, Kim (they divorced 21 years ago). It is now 12 years later and Kim and I have had wonderful adventures each year in Florida kayaking all over the state! If you tell me I can go anywhere I want, Florida and adventures with Kim is my go to answer!!

No but I’m addicted to my horse. That’s where you will find me. I was dxed in June and on immunotherapy Keytruda. I feel good. Tumors are decreasing. Mets in bronchial area are gone. I feel blessed for sure. I love your posts. You are so knowledgeable. I always look forward to them. Fun to hear another side of you😊

Your answer about being addicted to your horse made me smile. I rode and competed English Huntseat for many years and miss it dearly! Next ride, think of the wonder you have created in forming such a tight bond with your critter!

I'm like you Denzie. I traveled to Las Vegas in December 2019 but unlike you all I did was gamble lol. Lot my ass but sure had a good time with my daughter and son-in-law who purchased my ticket and room.
