The Backstory on CancerRoadTrip
An Award Winning Travel Blog
CancerRoadTrip started when I sold my house to travel. Since then, I’ve been through 4 continents, 10 countries and numerous states, numerous times. I’ve also been through 3 rounds of chemo, radiation and surgery. And so much more!
For me, travel heals. As the miles unfolded, it occurred to me: “If I could have a CancerRoadTrip to heal, why can’t others?”
And the idea of CancerRoadTrip was born.
This blog follows my travels, my expeditions to look for future healing retreats, interviews and whatever else may be of interest. You can also read more in the About Section.
Also be sure to check out the gallery for photos and more posts about my travels.
Starting in 2020, with Covid-19 restricting travel, I’ve added a podcast Bump In The Road that looks at how we all navigate the ups and downs, and twists and turns in this road trip called life. The episodes are below and I hope you’ll subscribe to the weekly show.

The Voices You Fly With
“Any landing you walk away from is a good one.” -Pithy Pilot Sayings
Pennsylvania to Indiana, 1995
Signs for a rest stop appear along the road and I pull off. Between the BMW and the thirty foot trailer shaped like an inverted speedboat, I am rather conspicuous.
Relationships
I have this incredibly complicated relationship with my sailplane.
Flying and Sex
Sam (my original World War II aviator/instructor) told me years ago that flying was better than sex. At the time I noted his advancing age and filed the information accordingly. But with experience comes wisdom…
Aparigraha
Aparigraha, from Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, translates to non-greed, non-possessiveness, & non-attachment.
A Window
Every now and then, we encounter a window in life. It won’t last forever. Do we step through, or do we let the opportunity pass us by?
Edited
This blog is edited to keep me from getting sued by the tech creeps.
Life in Six Month Increments
I live my life in 6 month increments.
Attachment
Attachment/acquisition is the root of all suffering.–Various translations from Buddha
Change
Somewhere in the pit of my stomach, I felt that I had become divorced from my home, from all the energy that had created it and connected me to it. Deep in my soul, I knew things were changing.
