Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

In 1992 I stepped to the balcony in my room for a first-time view of the Caribbean in Montego Bay, Jamaica, totally overwhelmed by the sunset creating a golden path across the water to the shore. I snapped this picture and rushed to the water' s edge, sitting on the sand, toes and feet buried, mesmerized by the hypnotic swelling of the incoming waves and the sand and water receding as the tide returned to the bay. Nothing had ever been that beautiful until sunrise created glistening stars and strands of silver against turquoise depths. Returning home, preliminary tests confirmed cervical cancer. The calming affect of the ocean remained with me during the surgeries that followed. I am cancer free and return to the ocean whenever possible for its healing abilities. I can still close my eyes and feel the rise and fall of the tide within me ? I am water!
