Great trip but good to be back

Hi to all my pink girlfriends,

I'm back home after having a great trip to Europe. We only had 2 days of rain in total (almost 6wks away). Infact Europe was having a snap heatwave so lucky weatherwise. We loved Vienna, Saltzburg and Paris. I went to the top of the Eiffel tower and visited Monet's garden - both on my bucket list! We toured Germany, did a Greek island cruise then flew to Istanbul where we took a tour down to Gallipoli (on my husband's bucket list!)We broke the long flight back by having 3 nights in Dubai. What an interesting city and omg,the shopping!

I also escaped lymphodoema, despite 5 flights (2 long ones) and lugging around a very heavy bag. We stayed extremely well despite being surrounded by hacking coughs on all flights. We ate well and I'm yet to get on the scales- stay tuned.

It's good to be back home with familyand friends and online again with all you pink lovelies.

I hope you are all doing ok.

I have the  BIG checkup next month but am not going to worry till it's on my doorstep. I've been applying this attitude to life in general - drives my husband nuts!

Tonya xx

    Hi Tonya,

    Welcome back -- we missed you -- how fast did the weeks go!!!

    Your trip sounds fantastic and you have me VERY excited about the trip I am taking to Europe in May. I leave the beautiful BCNA office girls and my online friends for 5 weeks!

    Again, it's lovely to have you back safe, healthy and with a plan to hopefully tick more things off that bucket list of yours :-)

    Cheers, Daina

    Hi Tonya

    Welcome back and I am so glad you had such a beautiful time and saw sooooo much and got to tick off things on that fabulous bucket list that keeps our dreams going.

    I am so jealous though as we had a similar trip organised with a river boat cruised organised and to visit lots of places BUT the good old BC has put the dampers on that one for the time being unfortunaly.  We were due to go in June this year.  Oh well not to be.  Next year is a new year and will be my year.  I not sure whether I will keep on the same lines of such a similar BIG holiday or do something like New Zealand or Tassy which is on my bucket list.  Mind you at present I would be happy to have a holiday anywhere but not to be........

    Look out for Mich in 2013!!!!!!!! Oh yeah  :-)

    Keep those good holiday vibes and memories hanging in there now you are back to the real world.  Best of luck and lots of love to you.

    Great to have you back safe and sound, Tonya! I love your travel blog. Sounds like a great time was had by you and yours. I had my check  up before I went to Ningaloo ( April 5). All clear!! I am now a BC survivor!!! I am feeling good too. Still getting a few hot flushes and night sweats. I asked my surgeon the other week whether stress caused them to be more frequent. He said yes this is very common. Have you found this also?  I was fine on holiday!!  Will be thinking of you next month as 26/5 is one year since I was diagnosed.

    Take care dear lady and welcome home!

    Love Alison xxx
