Hi @peggykatz 😊
Thanks so much for jumping into this "cruise" discussion. Congrats on your wonderfully successful 20th kidney transplant anniversary.... That's AMAZING! Also, Congratulations to your daughter!! Very exciting!
I am approaching my 3 year kidney transplant anniversary in July. Do you have any tips or habits that you can share that may have helped to create your 20 years of success? (It sounds like NO cruises is one of your tips!). 😊
What type of family reunion would you feel comfortable attending? Would you meet them at a hotel in St Thomas or is that pretty risky too? My cousins are now asking me to provide some trip ideas that I would feel comfortable attending. What would you say?
Thank you again for joining in and helping me figure out what's best!

I agree you received your transplant in order to live life, St Thomas sounds like a wonderful alternative, as for my 20 yrs post op I eat extremely healthy, never miss a lab. I have 10 grandchildren 6 kids we dinned outside on Sundays while covid was at it's highest, I wash my hands frequently and was masking in elevators and crowded spaces before covid, we still travel
plan on a trip to Europe this summer but will double mask in the plane and airport, and have lovely dinners outside.

I am a Microbiologist and a kidney recipient. If you decide to go on a cruise, I would be really careful about what you eat. Only eat well cooked food, or microwave everything. Do not use public restrooms on the ship, and buy the most expensive travel insurance available. I would not go to any places where there are mosquito borne parasites .
