On Feb. 7, 2023, we went to San Diego on a family vacation to visit my daughter and her family and searched for a place that could accommodate all of us including an infant. This has been our first family vacation trip since my diagnosis of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) back in June 2020. Since my diagnosis, we, as a family, made a decision to build new memories and all of these were about the experience to keep these memories forever. Unfortunately, the cancer evolved to Stage 4 by the end of 2021. This trip to San Diego was even more special and we needed to find a cozy and beautiful place we could feel right at home. We stayed at “The San Diego Poolside Paradise”. This house was the perfect place for us as we used it as our “hub” to have my daughter and her family join us for meals and spend quality time with us.
This trip turned out to be a magical and wonderful family experience. We felt right at home while staying at this warm and stunning place. A dream came true.
