Holiday, an actual real holiday, somewhere warm!

Every November our global team meets for a week.It's alway the same week, always my birthday and can be anywhere in the world. Given we haven't actually seen each other as a team for precisely 2 years, the boss decides Florida is the perfect team meeting location.

This raises a number of questions for me:

1. Will I have recovered from radiotherapy? (More or less)
2. Can I move the 3 weekly injection that is due that week? (Absolutely)
3. Does my oncologist think I am a complete nutcase to be contemplating a 10 hour flight? (Definitely, but she's very supportive nevertheless)
4. Can I even get travel insurance as I don't fancy going to the US without it? (Yes, thank you Staysure)
5. Will Biden Open the borders? (Just in time)

I fully admit that a long haul flight would not have been first choice, but I have way too much “fear of missing out” to even consider not going so what better than to take a week's holiday and enjoy all the Miami and the Florida Keys has to offer.

So, equipped with a stash of antibiotics just in case my seroma decides to host an infection and a couple of bottles of Factor 50, here I am. It feels weirdly normal to be travelling again and I am sure the dose of Vit D has done me the power of good.

  • So jealous but you totally deserve it.

    Im going to say YES to every invitation and opportunity to go anywhere once all my treatment is over.

  • Wow! I'm very jealous of your team meeting locations. My team meetings were always in a Hotel Marriot conference room just off the M1.

    I hope you're enjoying Florida. Well deserved after all you've been through. As Jacala says, I too am going to say YES to every invite and opportunity for some fun and travel.
