my vacation plan (GFMPH)

How is this related to PCa?

Adventures are great for PCa.

I recently asked you guys for advice on vacation ideas in America. We've decided to do SF with a drive down highway 1 to LA in December 2013. I do get to go to Dallas for work in May but I'm alone so I wouldn't consider that a vacation. Neve rbeen to Texas before. Thought it would be Austin when I finally got there but Dallas it is.

Our big vacation I'm excited about howver is the one this summer. I'm really excited about it and it feels good to be excited afte rall this PCa related depression over the past 26 months.

We're putting my son in a soccer sleepover camp in London for 2 weeks. The first week my wife, Daughter and I are going to hang out in London and take day trips to Canterbury and King Henry the VIIIs castle just north of London. Then a 3 day train trip (parts of it on a steam train) to Torquey, Dartmouth and finally Penzance in Cornwall. Then we drop off my daughter at my dad's hous ein Yorkishire and me and my wife take our firs tsolo vacation in 17 years and go to Amsterdam for 4 wild days and nights. HAven't been to Amsterdam since i was a teen. Love that city and glad to be goign without the kids! Then we pick up my son in London and take a trian to York. Stay in the Yorkshire Moors for a few days walking the countryside. Then a train from York to Edinburgh so that I can show my son some universities there in a probably pointless attempt to sell him on going to school there at $40K less per year tuition. Then from Edinburgh rent a car and drive up north to the Western Highlands. Neve rbeen there and always wanted to visit.

Recently watched Michael Palin's BBCs "Around the World in 80 Day" and was reminded about how healthy it is to travel.

SF is always a great choice. My wife and I are planning on going there for a week as soon as my ex-bosses lawsuit gets settled (he's paying for a full week of all first class for us).

Dallas - lived there 3 different times in my life, 2 of my kids were born there, would never want to go back for any possible reason. That's all I will say about that

Yeah, traveling always felt good, stopped doing it when kids were small, but it feels so much more rewarding after dealing with something like PCa. There is just so much out there to see and moving through it is therapeutic.

My brother in law just sent a pic of him rowing a boat on the ganges in Varnasi. The fog is sitting on the river, only a few people on the steps since it's 6.30AM before the hordes come out. I'm not religious and perhaps not so spiritual (don't know really) but that is one trip I'd also like doing. I would bathe in those filthy waters but rowing a little boat like he did must be pure magic. It's just that it's so far away and India is so hard to negotiate for so many reasons.
