That sounds so wonderful. A really good way to just spend your time with the people most important to you and doing something you have always wanted to do.
Really sad about your friend though. I think I make big decisions more easily now because of that "what if". I think it is the things we DON'T do if we are given the chance that we are more likely to regret rather than taking a chance on having an adventure.
I have a terrific friend who has also had cancer and she has encouraged me to step out there again saying, "life is for living, don't waste a minute"!
Thanks for sharing your adventure, I feel more positive about my day reading your story. :) Deanne xxx
