It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time but have been unable to, primarily due to my husband’s health unsurety.
BUT
Now all that What if… and When will… and Oh, well we *could* except… business is done with.
He passed his three-month post-transplant check-up with flying colors.
Less than a week later I’d booked us on a cruise for this coming spring.
We’re going to Hawaii!
In case you missed it, I’m gonna say it again:
We’re going to HAWAII !!!
I, of course, being me, am just ridiculously excited to finally – FINALLY – be looking forward (for real, with dates on the calendar and tickets reserved) to *actually* being able to do something that we’ve planned/wanted/talked-about doing for years.
He – being, y’know, him – is just happy we’ll be going someplace warm. Because now that I’m peri-menopausal and such, I tend to be cold most of the time (and chilly-ness does NOT lead me to feeling amorous) BUT, as we discovered on our July vacation, I un-thaw a bit (more than a bit, really) in the Sex Department when I’m surrounded by warmth and sunshine.
So I’m like: Yay, Hawaii!
And he’s like: Oooh, maybe I’ll get laid!
(Well, at the very least, I’ll make sure he gets lei’ed.) 😛
The six-month countdown to cruise time has begun…

Excellent news. 😀

It’s a bit ambitious, perhaps. But I’m so OVER waiting! 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful time! And get laid? Lei’d?

We’re looking forward to it. 🙂
Have fun- but be sure to save at least one Lei for Duke Kahanamoku’s statue !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if I lei the Duke, it’ll bring me good surfing juju? 🙂
😀 I bet you’d make that statue very happy. 😀
PS: But you must provide pictures. 😀
Yay!!!!! We love cruising–but have never been to Hawaii. I’m so excited for you.
We love it too. We took a cruise for our honeymoon and got hooked on it together. We’ve been to Mexico (both coasts), the Western Carribean, and to Alaska twice. Hawaii will be new for us. It’ll also be an endurance test of sorts — 18 days! We’re looking forward to it.
Yay! Wonderful news!! 👏👏👏👏
There is a level of freedom in wellness that people who’ve never experienced long-term illness do not understand. It’s quite astounding, really, this weight that’s been lifted.
That is fabulous news, the trip, but even more so that he passed the 3-month exam. Wonderful to have such a trip to look forward to!

Yes, it’s really good news! He’s basically free from all his post-surgery restrictions, so things are much more ‘back-to-normal’ on a day-to-day basis. 🙂
