Journey of Survival

Being diagnosed with a brain tumor and seeking out treatment seems as if this would be the natural storyline. This was only the beginning of that journey. Having a date circled on a calendar, knowing it could possibly be my last day of living, I thought my story was about the challenges brought about by a brain tumor diagnosis. The journey begins with surviving with this second act of Life. What would YOU do if given a second chance?

If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you know we hopped a flight to Saint Lucia yesterday and took a five minute ride to @serenityatcbay - We originally had planned a family trip, but when an article assignment presented itself, we decided to combine business/leisure and arrived a few days early to get the job done. 

@dalpozzal is currently napping on the swing bed in our private beach cabana, and it is a well-deserved rest. He just completed his latest annual ground school and has been working hard flying everyone else to their vacations. It’s time for his, now.

I am so grateful for these types of moments and it reminds me of that balance I frequently refer to. As difficult as life can be, it is equally as beautiful. Today is one of those beautiful days. And I am pretty sure this whole week will follow suit.

I am looking forward to celebrating my uncle’s retirement and spending time with him, my sister-ain’t, and their best friends in a few days.

Until then, I’ll continue my “research” enjoying frozen drinks in my Stanley cup. #hosted

After the morning keynote at #STCGlobal I had a fe After the morning keynote at #STCGlobal I had a few minutes to check out some booths. Caught up with some New Englanders before the press events began. There was a Holland America Libe announcement I live-streamed for the @hollandamericafansofficial group I help manage, followed by an Alaska party and the kickoff reception featuring a mariachi band, paella, and maybe a few glasses of wine before the sun set. Tomorrow will be even busier but I have loved catching up with a few cruise industry friends!
This next session I attended at #stcglobal was mod This next session I attended at #stcglobal was moderated by @fran_golden_cruise - great discussion about private island destinations and this cruise trend for passengers. It isn’t about taking away from other port stops but more of an added value for guests. I’ll post more from the session later. So much goodness for future cruises!
Checking out a few sessions this morning. Listenin Checking out a few sessions this morning. Listening how to maximize time ashore for guests. Discussion on #familytravel and having the best options for travelers to enjoy the ports. My Q to you: what are YOU looking for on your #cruise experience when at a@port stop? #STGlobal
