Woohoo!!!!

We finally booked it - and are coming to Texas for Christmas. We haven't been for 18 months and I'm homesick for it. This time we are staying in a hotel and instead of just visiting relatives, are treating it as a vacation. We are planning lots of fun stuff to do and are packing it all in - and of course I need to fit in shopping til I'm dropping!!!! I'm sooo looking forward to getting on those planes and seeing how much space in my seat there is! I only just fit before wls and last time we went was still early out. Yippee............................(now all I need to do is not have a fight with my step MIL while we are there!!!)

Hurray, Ruth! That is so exciting! And I'm so glad to hear you'll be staying at a hotel instead of with family ... you will probably have more fun and be more relaxed that way. How many days do you get to stay? Deanna

How exciting Ruth! Even better to stay in a hotel and make it into a holiday! Did you say that your husband was from Texas? Have you been before? I visited a friend in Dallas/Ft. Worth and it was a really good time. I wish I was closer, I would meet you for tea...

We are staying for 17 days, so plenty of time. I'm the only Brit in my family - hubbie and daughter are Texan (well Millie get's to be both, lucky thing). We lived there for 4 years and came back in 2002. Even though we've been back for a while, I still miss it and think of it as home.

The hotel we are staying at has an indoor pool - so far I have avoided going swimming in my new body with all it's saggy skin (I used to go swimming even at my largest) as I am so self concious even though in my mind I know it's crazy. But my daughter wants me to go swimming with her so desperately - she even pointed out a swimming costume in a thrift store (no I didn't buy it hee hee), but I don't think I can avoid it while we are in Texas - guess I'll have to bite the bullet and keep my fingers crossed that no other guests decide to go swimming
