It just gets better

Wow, what an incredible day.  Today was amazing, I got to fly in a private plane from home all the way up to Scotland which I thought would be scary but it was so much fun.  It was a really nice sunny day and the views were incredible as we were flying quite low.  I got to sit in the front seat and my dad had to go in the back with our friend Phil.  It was quite funny looking at them back there.  I felt like a real celeb lol.

When we landed, a pink hummer was waiting to take us to the Deep Sea World and it was so pink that I thought my dad was going to die of embarrassment.  Inside it was a bottle of pink bubbly and I got my glass and sat back to enjoy the ride, waving and singing as I went like a 10 year old ha, ha.

The Deep Sea World people were waiting for me and I felt dead important again because there were loads of them all lined up to welcome me.  We went in and through the shark tunnel which was really long and then she said right, shall we get you ready?  I didn't have time to worry and I got into a nice warm drysuit and before I knew it we were ready to get in.  We had to walk through a little pool before we got in and I couldn't stand up properly and they had to put extra weights on me, I was like a telly tubby, I couldn't stop laughing.  Then they helped me with my mask and snorkle and we walked through and got onto the platform in the big tank ... scary!  I smiled every time a shark came past me and the biggest shark was 3 metres long - she was called Tinkerbelle which was funny.  I couldn't stop smiling but every time I smiled, the water kept leaking in.  I was in there for quite a long time and it was another of my best days ever.  I am so glad I did it as last night I was worried and I didn't know if I'd do it.

After the shark tank, I got to train the seals which was really funny.  I got kissed by one yuck and I played ball with them, but they weren't as good as Mabel at bringing it back.  I got to hold a Bearded Dragon and I loved that because I wanted mum to buy me one but she wouldn't.  A little corn snake needed a name and they said I could choose, so I called it Sam because it looked like a Sam!

We had such a great time but the time went really quickly and we were saying goodbye too quickly but then there was a huge fire engine outside with lights, music, bubbles and smoke!  They gave me a cowboy hat to wear and we all got a lift back to the airport in our fire engine.  It was so funny watching Dad and Phil in there.  We flew back home over the Lake District and I spotted lots of places I knew along the way, including my sister's school.  I was quite sad to say goodbye to Gordon and we watched him take off again before we got back in my mums car.  I wish that today was starting again.

I slept lots when I got back home because I was shattered, but then my next door neighbour Adrian arrived and he had a little something for me ... an iPad and a purple cover.  Wowie wow wow I am so excited I can't believe it. I have just finished charging it so I am going to explore now.  Next time that I post or tweet, it will be from my iPad.  Night, night x

  6. Oh Alice, it sounds like you have had another fabulous day! I love reading about your adventures as you always sound so excited about everything!

    Just wanted to send you a quick message to say the iPad will make things like Twitter much easier! I got one a few weeks ago and after a few days of trying to work out what to do I soon started downloading apps to help me with my twitter, blog and facebook - now I absolutely love it! Plus, I downloaded Tetris, my all time favourite computer game, and now I think I am addicted to it!

    Have fun playing with your new toy and I look forward to seeing some photos of the purple case and the sharks soon!

    Keep smiling!

    With love,

    Natalya x

  7. Alice, you were on our news tonight here in Billings, MT. You were working in a ring with your dog. I was so proud that I already knew you and was following your blog.

    What a fabulous day you had today. You are braver than I would have been. I swam with dolphins but I'd draw the line at sharks. And a kiss from a seal - how special - lol.

  15. Hi Alice.

    I check your blog every time I can - I'm traveling in Indonesia just now - and I almost cry everytime I do! But it's good happy tears! I come from Scotland - and I go back home next month - but I'm so happy that you really enjoyed Scotland - it is so beautiful, right? And that you ad a great day out at the sea life centre. I've been before and I've seen the sharks but it was through the glass so I'm really jealous. I'd love to swim with sharks. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do it! Maybe only crazy people are cool like us!

    I also want to say - enjoy your iPad! How cool is it that you were given such a nice present. I'm on my iPhone all the time - they are just so handy! You should download the twitter app for your iPad because it makes it so easy to use twitter than logging on to safari all the time.

    Best of luck! I will be joining an organisation as soon as I'm home too! And will spread the word to my friends and my little sister. Love Vicki x

You are going through a lot, and you don't let it get in the way of living your life the best you can. I am so inspired by you.

  32. Hi Alice - what an amazing day!I did enjoy reading about your dog show as well and wish we could have bought our two dogs, but England is a long way to go to a dog show from Australia! My daughter is going to put her name down on the bone marrow registry, I am a bit old LOL - so I sponsored Milly's run instead! I look forward to hearing about your (and your family's ) adventures.

  46. Hi from Michigan, USA!
    I'm so glad you had a good day today! I would be way too scared to go in a tank with sharks, you're a crazy lady ;) Sounds like you had a great time at the concert too!
    I also wanted to let you know, I'm looking into registering to be a bone marrow donor here in the US. I'm pretty nervous though since I get sick when I just donate blood, so I'll have to talk to my doctor first.
    Cheers!

  47. You are an incredibly brave young lady. I am so glad you got a few things marked off your Bucket List. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.

  49. ALICE… ¿ME PODRÍAS REGALAR UN DESEO?…. SOLO TÚ PUEDES….

    Pero antes de pedirte mi deseo quisiera darte unas pistas para que me lo puedas cumplir…..

    Alice…. pequeño ángel…. Hace 54 horas me entere de tu historia de vida…. y ciertamente aun hay mucho por hacer…. SABIAS QUE LOS HECHOS SORPRENDENTES Y EXTRAORDINARIOS SON SIEMPRE POSIBLE Y OCURREN TODOS LOS DÍAS DE LA VIDA... TU LO SABES... Pero? Que es lo que hace posible que le ocurran a algunas persona y a otras no?.... te lo has preguntado alguna vez?....

    A veces a la vida la podemos comparar casi con cualquier cosa….. a mi se me ocurre compararla casi siempre con un partido de fútbol…

    Alice, imagina esto:… “Un gran partido…. Una gran final…. Un gran premio… pero? …. que nos paso?... las cosas se nos salieron de las manos….. y con todas las condiciones en contra físicas, humanas y psicológicas vamos perdiendo este gran partido….. nuestro equipo es un desastre, y nuestros jugadores lucen lentos, cansados y sin ánimos y para colmo de males tenemos el tiempo en contra…. Mientras tanto, y, aprovechando nuestra desastrosa situación, nuestro equipo adversario se vuelve mas fuerte, con una defensa impenetrable y luce poderoso ante nuestro desnutrido equipo, que a estas altura ya tiene la moral por el suelo…. Nuestro equipo esta desorientado, perdido y sin ningún norte…. Terminamos el primer tiempo con un abultado marcador en nuestra contra nuestra y el equipo se va a los camerinos casi arrastrando el alma….. Pero aun quedan 45 minutos…. 45 minutos para voltear ese resultado a nuestro favor….. 45 minutos siquiera para conquistar la igualdad e irnos al alargue……”……

    Hasta aquí ésta es una situación que tal vez marca claramente un final evidente…. Que queda por hacer?.... hay algo aun por hacer?..... ¿Qué harías tú como técnico de este equipo para salvarlo y obtener el gran premio?..... al igual que en la vida, que, muchas veces hay que tomar diferentes estrategias y grandes decisiones que cambien la dirección y el rumbo de las cosas….?..... Bueno mi pequeña y hermosa amiga…. Te dejo esta tarea…. Espero que me la respondas y le des la solución a nuestro equipo… y lo ayudes a ganar…

    Alice, ojala y nos comuniquemos mejor por Email… mientras tanto puedo decirte que me he hecho un compromiso…. y es que te estoy acompañando desde que me entere de ti…. y sabes porque?.... porque quiero que me cumplas mi deseo… hasta pronto…. un beso de corazon...

    Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures... live your dreams, gal. Live out all our dreams for all of us, gal! :D

    ReplyDelete
  53. we already knew that you were incredibly brave so really standing on the edge of a shark filled aquarium would be a walk in the park! It sure sounds like you had an amazing time and to finish it off with an ipad!! you sure are 'ticking' your dreams. God bless

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dear Alice, thanks! It’s through your eyes, & your nice posts we are able to discover a more beautiful world around us – the blue open sky, deep sea waves, big sharks and many more things in earlier posts too. Feels like, I am enjoying the journey with you guys. We would never have been able to feel such great. People can’t do anything to heal you from the battle-of-life. But you are doing so much to make us happy.

    Congrats for the iPad! Feels lucky to post the 1st comment to this post. Hehe :)

  57. I'm so very glad that you're getting to cross off some of your wishes - may you finish as many as humanly possible.
    Do you know how many different types of sharks were in the tank with you? I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing I could have seen the expression on your face - you must have been enchanted (if you weren't too concerned about all the teeth ;})!
    As for the negative posts, those of us who are genuinely wishing the best for you will alway outnumber the dolts who aren't. Ignore them and cherish the moments of your life, dear girl.
    Mrs. Pyne, I'm a Mom, too. I would want to severely punish anyone who hurt my child in any way, but, please don't spend too much of your precious time with Alice on these lowlifes. Know that if nothing else, God knows exactly who they are & will see that they get what they deserve.
    My family's prayers and best wishes are with your family always.

  61. A special day for a special young lady.

    Good luck with the rest of your list especially the top one.

    As a Leukaemia survivor, I know the importance of having a huge list of bone marrow donors. These people are special people too as they give life to others.

    How many have you done from your list now?

    Love

  62. I'm really glad to hear you went swimming with sharks and maybe I'm even a little bit jealous. ;o)

    That must have been a very special experience and I hope you make more of them...

    Send also a big Thank You again to your mum, who sent me the link to the "Swiss-SwabKit-Page" (is this a real word?? ;o))

    I love to read your posts so keep on posting (from your new iPad)... :o)

  64. Wow you really are lucky to have had such a fantastic day! I have been looking at shark dives in the Blue Planet Aquarium as I'd like to go for my birthday next month but they are so expensive so for now I just have to stick with the usual trip there followed by lots of shopping afterwards hehe. I'm glad there are people out there willing to help make your dreams come true though. You really deserve it and I hope that you are able to complete as much of your bucket list as possible! Make each day count and keep on keeping on :)

  79. Alice here's something else to brighten your day. I arrived home from work today to see an article about you on a news programme. They were telling your story and showed footage of you and Mabel at the dog show winning awards. Here's the exciting part I'm in Western Australia and it was a National news show! So now hundreds of thousands of people Australia know about you and your list. How awesome is that!
    Have fun with your ipad.

  95. Cool! Fancy swimming with sharks?!? I'm glad that you are getting to do the things you want to. Our family's had a hard time with cancer this year, and the one thing I have learned is to do what you want to... a bucket list is a cracking idea and I hope you get to do it all. I think everybody should have a list of dreams and ambitions and get out there and do it, not wait for illness to be the starting point. Tell your Mum she's doing a grand job and not to worry about the swines who write nasty things. Love and live life. Bless you all xxx

    I'm so sorry to have to ask you this, but can you please get in touch with Vicki at Postpals - I just tried to open their website, and they've been hacked again.
    I got a screenshot of the box that popped up which appeared to have the "person" responsible's name in, if that's any help to them; I closed the window as fast as I possibly could in case of a virus....

    Again, I'm sorry to have to ask, but don't know any other way of getting a message to her.
    Thank you.

  109. You are doing so well and having such fun with your bucket list :-)
    I'm not doing so well with mine, I tried to give blood the other day and join the bone marrow donor list but because I'm married to a South Africa I have to drag him in to donate as well ..... which is not a bad thing but he's a bit needle phobic so he's taking some convincing - I'll keep working on him to come with.
    Keep smiling. Laraxx

  122. Hello from Darwin, Australia. I heard about you from another Blogger that was very much touched by your blog.

    I'm glad your bucket list is getting ticked off. But I'm also very sad that you feel you are not going to win this one.

    I think you are very brave and know I would never be as brave as you are. And that's why You Rock Alice.

    Big hugs to you and your family.

  123. Good to see you had such a nice day.

    You deserve it, little lady. You are indeed doing a great contribution by stimmulating money donnations and marrow donnations. So enjoy all you can, as you are also helping the world in return.

  130. Hey, Alice!
    This is the first time I have seen your blog cos I only just heard about it. I want to tell you to keep fighting cancer, to keep strong. remember (i am a christian - dunno bout u) that god is forever loving you and holding you in his hands.

    Sounds like you are having a great time at the moment - I heard you saw Take That and had a song dedicated to you!

    Don't forget we are all praying for you :)

    Stay strong!

    Luke.

  131. dear alice,

    i saw your blog on the news. i just wanted to say that i'm glad you are getting to do some of the things you dream about. my cousin's son has cancer, and he is doing well at the moment, but it is a shocking thing when something like this enters your life. and i don't really have the right to say that as i don't even know him very well at all, i live far away and i wish i could be there for him. but it has shocked me, and made me think more about life. anyhow, i wish for you the best and think having a blog is a great idea and is probably also cathartic. i hope you get to do everything on your list. if you like taking pictures, you might like the 365 project, where you take a photo a day and share them online. (or even just for your family, in an album.) if you google "project 365" you will see various ideas about it. anyhow, take care and keep being strong!

    Wow what a day you had! Sharks, seals, and dragons, oh my! I'm glad you had such a great time, you and your family definitely deserved the little vacation. And it sounds like you're a bit of a celebrity! Not many people can say they road in a private plane.

    Have fun with your new iPad and good luck with everything.

    I would love to see pictures. But respect his fear to publish them. You deserve it all! You and your joy of life is a lesson for the world.

    Ah! Congratulations on the new iPad. I have an iPhone and I have so much fun with the apps I think are very good. My nephews are very fond of the "Talking Tom." It is very cute.

  150. Oooh, that sounds like so much fun! The swimming with sharks, I mean. I used to volunteer at our local aquarium, but I wasn't scuba-certified, so, no swimming in the tanks for me. :P Congratulations on getting the iPad! It sounds really cool. I don't know if I'd be able to use one. I'm so old-fashioned, and things without buttons drive me crazy. Sounds fun, though. :) Hope you have loads of fun with the iPad and whatever you plan to do next! I love hearing about your adventures!
