One of my "bucket list" travel goals is to take a cruise around the world. I love the idea of being away from home for 6-12 months, and getting a little taste of dozens of ports of call in a single extended journey. I think that there is something inherent in the human condition that makes us crave travel, and makes us especially interested in voyages of discovery. Today, we have no need for earthbound conquistadors, but that doesn't mean we don't crave the experience of long-range travel. While most of us can't afford an "around-the-world" cruise, we can all afford the cost of a movie rental.

Those suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are no different. Although certain precautions must be considered before taking to the high seas, even patients suffering from severe emphysema, bronchitis, or chronic bronchitis and requiring around the clock oxygen therapy should be able to enjoy a nice, relaxing cruise. In order to make the most of your seafaring adventure, it is important to remember the following: Notify your doctor and let him know of your plans. Doctors who know what you are doing make better doctors. The cruise company will most likely require some detailed information from your doctor regarding your condition, your medical needs, and the stability of your condition as it relates to travel.

When you book your flight, make sure to include time to check out the area, because Yountville is in the heart of Napa Valley. Drive along either Highway 29 or Silverado Trail, and you will encounter some of the world's best wineries. However many wineries you attempt to visit before dinner, though, manage yourself responsibly. It's surprising how quickly the wine goes to your head. Go on the tours to lengthen the time of your visit to each winery and split the tastings with your friends so you're not drinking as much. And remember, there's no requirement that you finish off everything they pour in front of you. It's not rush week. You still have dinner to attend, and you will want all your taste buds in prime
