Personal Triumphs and Cruising.
Phew. This is an emotional story for me. It's causing me grief just trying to write about it. Ok, deep breath, here goes... For more than a decade I've been really sick. Like frequent flier miles at the ER sick. Not knowing what it's like to go a day without vomiting sick. Coughing up blood on the regular sick. Doing laps at the ICU sick. You get it. At one point I looked up and I was on an ignorant amount of meds and was over 430lbs. I was in pain. I stopped sleeping. I was miserable, I wanted to die.

Of the handful of rotating questions that we're asked, this one comes up often:
It seems like you're traveling quite a bit. What's the deal? You dying or something? Did you win the lottery? What's going on? Why now?It's a fair question. Perception can be reality. We've always traveled quite a bit. For the longest time it was to various Disney parks as we were Disney Vacation Club members. I get it though, it looks like we're travelling quite a bit and people want to know how / why so they can do the same.
