It's normal to be a little apprehensive - I think we've all been there. The first time is kind of scary. But are you going to let some puny little disease keep you from taking a simple little trip that you really want to take? What are you most afraid of? Being sick or looking silly in front of your friends? I don't want to sound harsh, but I really have walked in those shoes.

Shortly after my dx, DH and I and our 2 yr old son went on a 7 day Alaska cruise. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I could have because I was too busy wishing I didn't have MS and could do the zipline instead of the tourbus. I was such a dumbbell! This past fall we went on a 2 week cruise from Istanbul to Barcelona, and I enjoyed every minute of it!

You CAN do this, if you want to! "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
