Off to San Diego!!

Yup, I leave tomorrow for a couple of weeks. I forgot to tell you guys the really fun part of this. Well one of my daughters, the one with SIX children, is going on a trip with her husband and the deal was that they would bring me out to San Diego if I would watch the kids. Ahhh, love to!! The oldest is 17 and the youngest is 4, so I have lots of help. This is going to be so fun. I can't wait. They're pretty excited too. Here's the bad part, I couldnt' get a aisle or window seat on my flight out!! Yikes -- I am so nervous. The last time I flew out to California on a middle seat the twit next to me yelled - very loud -- 'I just need my space'!! I think I told you all that story. I was so humilated. I couldn't make my 290 lb body get any smaller, I was squeezed in as it was!! So I'm stressing about that. Wish me luck!! See you when I get back. Michael, keep doing as good as you are!! Maybe when I get back I'll be out of my stall. Certainly chasing around with six kids should do something for me, wouldn't you think!! love donna

Donna, Your going to have a blast. My grandbabies make my day. They are a blast. Yes you will have the time of your life. Dont worry about your seat. Your going to have plenty of room. Just enjoy your vacation./ You have all that energy for your grandchildren. They are going to love you. You will need to show them your knew dance moves. Hugs Barb

Barb, i'm sorry - but you don't look old enough to be a grandma.

Thank you You made my day Hugs Barb

Have lots of fun, Donna...Don't worry about the plane ride...you're a LOT smaller now and will probably not touch any one else's space! If you do, yell at them. Once the plane is filled, look around to see if there's another seat that you can sit in...maybe they'll let you change it. Paula

Have a great trip. I bet the kids are off the wall. My boys love there grandparents and enjoy it when every they are around. I still picture you in that stupid middle seat with a grin from ear to ear over the fact that you can buckel in and use the table. enjoy your self. Remember to bring snacks and water---- the peanuts won't make it. have fun and let us know how it all went donna

Donna, Have a great time in San Diego, and don't worry about the plane ride, I think you'll be pleasently surprised. I travel a lot for work, and two weeks ago when I flew, I had the greatest experience. Not only did I fit in the seat, but I had about 5 inches of room on the belt to spare. Just think less than 6 months ago I had go thorugh the humiliation of asking for an extension! Then, I was in the window seat, lucky enough to have the row to myself, but I could actually cross my legs in the seat! Now, was that a hoot. Plus, for the first time I was able to take my lap top out, put in on the tray, and use it. I could never do that, I was so big I couldn't get the tray down! I was like the cheshire cat, laughing to myself in my seat...even the flight attendant asked me if everything was ok..she probabley thought I was nuts! I was just tickled by the whole thing! Have a great time with your family, and enjoy the flight! Linda R
