Summer VacationViews: 2983

To all readers,

I am making a journey to the middle east. First stop, Dubai then onto Iran. I have some business to do in both countries. Since I survived cancer, I need to figure out how to make a living. My daughter and I leave for New York tomorrow then onto Dubai the following day.

I will be keeping a travel blog at www.vacationmama.typepad.com.

I will try to post some of the journey on this website as well. I am really concerned about the plane flight and lymphedema. I have my compression sleeve ready. The physical therapist said most people do really well with the sleeve. I am already fat. I do not need an extra fat arm as well.

Also, it will be my first trip to Dubai/Iran. I am a little nervous about the customs. I have read a lot of material but it is always an adventure to go somewhere new.

Wow. You are brave indeed. You go girl! See the world. It is a wonderful place. Iran? Do you have family there?
