What about cruising post transplant?

@silverwoman your trip sounds great. I presume the sailing is on a riverboat type of vessel. I don’t have any desire to go on an ocean cruise but I love the sound of river cruises. I hope you have a little time to explore Boston too. I may live in NH, but Boston is where my heart is, I grew up in a suburb And lived in Boston when I was single.
If we do go to the Caribbean I was planning to book it myself but you make a good point there. Also, someone I know with a different problem told me that they could not get travel health insurance because he has a pre-existing condition. Ihope that’s not true but I plan to look into it before I make any further plans.
@travelgirl do you know anything about that?

I had chronic liver disease for more than 30 years before my transplant. I've found that insurers, at least during those years and the insurers I was dealing with, waived the pre-existing condition clauses of their contracts if the insurance was purchased at the time the trip was booked, at the time of the down payment. It's been a couple of years since I bought a travel insurance policy, but I'm guessing that is still true. I'm sure I did diligence when I booked my Boston to Boston journey but I'm going to go back and read that policy because I'm getting a bit forgetful in my old age. And yes, we're going to spend 3 days in Boston before our tour starts; I'm collecting restaurant reviews in case you have any recommendations. Your cruise sounds so relaxing and you'll be able to defrost!
