The book is about a couple which is under extreme pressure to maintain a normal life despite the ravages of the diseases: diabetes, Alzheimer's, four bouts of strokes, and congestive heart failure, which have befallen the author's wife. The story is ongoing as the author's wife is still resisting the diseases.
The book has only two main characters, the author and his wife. The author, acting as caregiver to his wife, is implementing his mission which is to provide his wife the utmost health care and affordable conveniences while she is still able to appreciate the physical aspects of her surroundings.
The author's wife loves to travel before and after the named diseases befell her. They still want to pursue the same life style even though she is not as mobile anymore as she was before the diseases debilitated her. Due to the limited options for physical activities, the couple perseveres in the pursuit of the only plans that are available. The plans of course, must be consistent with her ability to move freely with moderate assistance.
The book has 18 chapters in addition to the book front details. Chapter 1 deals with local travels. The rest of the book deals with travel planning, travel executions, and other details related to cruise vacations. The author and his wife determined that cruise vacation is the best and the only reasonable option for traveling without exacerbating her physical and mental condition.
The couple now accepts the irreversible effects of strokes, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and congestive heart failure. There is not much that they can do about them. The author hopes that the medical professionals as well as the drug manufacturers are able to come up with some type of wonder drugs that prevent the diseases from attacking the brain.
Meantime, the author's wife, out of sheer determination and a strong family support, is still offering strong resistance to the diseases, but it appears she is losing the battle quite rapidly.
