I seem to be improving. I am a little nervous to travel becaus of urgency though. but I am looking forward to a much needed, short trip with my husband this fall. I am willing to fly, am thinking around 4-5 days. Not too expensive, but not super cheap either. We want to wander around and sight see, eat and just relax and have fun. Any suggestions?! I'm super excited about something for once in a long time. turn

Hi Micky...not sure where you live but we are in Dutchess county NY and it is the most BEAUTIFUL place to be in the fall because of the
foliage. There are numerous hotels & some really great smaller quaint B&B's for you to stay. Hudson Valley in the fall cannot be beat!!!

Good luck w/your decision...:)

Well a shorter plane trip would keep your anxiety lower so what is the nearest airport to you for takeoff?

The week before last, I took a cruise from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico. It was exactly what I needed - restful - access to toilets, plenty of fun things to do (shows, karaoke, dancing, gambling, spa) or just hang by the pool, which I did since this was a "girlfriends-getaway". Then, you get off the ship you are in some amazing place - the Carribean water was dreamy, the Mayan ruins were fascinating. And the total cost, since it was booked last-minute was $242 (after taxes and gratuities, closer to $340) for 5 days, 4 nights.
I don't consider myself a "cruise person" (always been a hiker/adventurer), but since I an still anemic and a little weak, plus I being a little unsure of my bowels, this was perfect.

BTW, my bowels seemed to like being on vacation and without stress. Wherever you go, as long as you relax you'll have a blast! Have fun!

My wife and I are going to Laughlin, NV next week.....11th-15th.  Scared to death because it is about a 5 hour drive for us.  It is a nice little casino town.  Also scared cuz of the bathroom situation.  When I was there in Nov, was not having the issues I am now.  Also worried cuz I drank a shot of whiskey the other night, seriously, 1 shot, and suffered for it all the next day.  Need the getaway, but part of that drive is pretty desolate.  We will NOT get on the road until I am sure it will be OK.

A town like Laughlin or Vegas could be a nice destination, especially in the fall as the heat starts to wear off.
