Well, the "Drug Vacation' is coming to an end....
It will be replaced by a Real Vacation....
Then, my turn back in the barrel...Taking Chemo and living a not so Good Life.
Tuesday bright and early we will leave the doldrums of winter and our 'white scape'....
Our friends in Mexico have upgraded our tickets to 1st Class and have arranged for a Limo to meet us at the airport in Cancun...We will be taken to the Port where we will get on a ferry to ....
Isla Mujeres...
Our friends have enjoyed this Island for many winters and have watched it grow into a pretty populated 'Hot Spot'...
They have bought a lot on another Island that we will visit over next weekend.....We will take the ferry back to Cancun, drive their jalopy across the Yucatan Peninsula to the northern part...There we will leave the truck and take a ferry to this quiet Island....
Isla Holbox....
This little Island is quiet and peaceful....Sand streets and transportation by golf cart...No golf courses..No ATM's...No credit cards.....
Here we will hang up our problems and relax.
There are a handful of hotels on this tiny island...Some are Palapas [thatched huts] with hammocks...Some have screens on the windows and mosquito nets over the beds....A couple hotels have air conditioning.....Jim wants to stay in a Palapas...I have heard there are a lot of bugs there...so I am staying in a hotel. The main food there is lobster...even lobster pizza is a must for every visitor.
This is a bird sanctuary and I hope to gt many photos of Flora and Fauna, Fins and Feathers....
It has been many years since these feet set foot on Mexican soil...and even longer since these bones bathed in the waters of the Caribbean...so this is a dream come true....
We will return home about 1 AM the following week and by 10 AM of that day I will once again be in the Cancer Treatment Center taking care of these 'alleged' problems I carry inside this body...
The next two days will be painfully long...but many long lists will fill the hours...
Life is EXTREMELY GOOD!!!
in Mexico. And when you return, we'll all be thinking of youas you engage inthis next round of battle. And when we raise our glasses,we'llsay a silent prayer for you. May you have strength to endure and peace of mind in knowing that there's a light at the end of the darkness. You continue to make a difference in the lives of all who know you. Thank you for showing us that Life is Good.
