Rise and shine...

I am back in action - well, kind of.
I am a few days away from the voyage. Right now, I am listening to Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)." You know the song that goes "La dee dee la dee daaa..." Yeah, it's classic. For some odd reason this song makes me feel good.

Oddly enough, right before my trip I seem to get sick and hurt myself at work and have had to pretty much be on bed rest up until my trip. Fortunately, a few really good friends came over and helped me clean up and rub my back. I am not good at being sick. And I had a doctor checkup last night and one on Friday before I leave the states on Saturday. I am still in a little pain, right now but I am told that I should be fine before I leave.

I would write EVERYTHING that has gone on since my last posting in October, but I am not. Just keep up and you will see my journey to:

Nassau, Bahamas
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Salvador, Brazil
Cape Town, South Africa
Port Louis, Mauritius
Chennai, India
Penang, Malaysia
Ho Chih MInh City, Vietnam
Hong Kong
Shanghai, China
Kobe, Japan
Honolulu, Hawaii
Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Would right more but opioid has kicked in and I must rest. Don't worry - my writing will definitely be more cohesive as time progresses. This is just to get back into the swing of things.

Before I conclude I just want to urge you to be grateful for your health and NEVER take it for granted. I am so serious. I still face issues related to cancer - they're post cancer related. But more later.

Ciao,
A
