Blessings List & Vacation Time!

 So in a few days we will be going to Turkey & Greece!!!  We'll be traveling with other church insurance agents/owners/etc on a 7 day Mediterranean Cruise. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. It'll be our first "international" trip outside of Mexico and the Caribbean. So- LONG flights and limited communication abilities, but I think it'll be a fun time. I can't wait to walk in some of the places that people of the bible walked and talked. Especially Ephesus! You can read about the history here.

This will be our ship- the Silver Spirit. I haven't been on a ship as small as this before so I'm not sure how we'll handle the motion sickness. Hopefully it's just like being on a regular cruise ship! Supposedly these smaller ships are more luxurious and service oriented than the larger ones. I can't imagine that! I've always had the best experiences on cruises so this may top them all! Let's hope so!

 Our first stop will be in Istanbul, Turkey. We actually get to stay in a Ritz Carlton hotel there- which I am stoked about! It will be amazing. Then onto Kusadasi, Turkey, next Mykanos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, and ends in Athens,Greece. Whew, we will be tired after all that! I will take lots of good pictures I promise. I'm hoping to be able to update during our trip but I'm not sure about the internet connections there or how much it will cost. But I will try!

I am a little worried about my current health. I'm still not feeling 100%. Even with the new medicine, which has taken the edge off a few of my side effects from the lupron, I am still tired a lot. I still get achy. And the bleeding and cramping that goes with it is actually a lot worse. Which is the main thing that really sucks when you're traveling. Or wearing white pants. Ha! Guess I'll just have to be prepared at all times! I'm just praying that it won't hinder me from having a good time or being able to do all of the site seeing we want to do. I can't be lying around in bed while we're in Greece! I'm going to try and make the most of the situation. 
So say some prayers for me please!

Μέχρι την επόμενη φορά  (until next time)!
