So I heard about this pretty sweet deal here at the American Society of Nephrology meeting which I just might take advantage of one of these days...it's called "Dialysis At Sea", and it's a program which offers to take dialysis patients on cruises. Dialysis patients are somewhat limited in terms of their vacation plans, as their 3-times-a-week dialysis schedule requires them to plan well in advance the need to dialyze at a center close to their destination. The "Dialysis at Sea" cruises allow dialysis patients and their families to take a cruise vacation to popular destinations as there are dialysis machines aboard the ship!

Not only do they have dialysis machines, but they also have dialysis nurses and nephrologists, who apparently get to come along on the cruise for free along with their families. I've never been on a cruise before, but maybe I"ll give this a shot one of these days...
