Hi there Allison, I had a real relaxing time. I did not go to Disney or to the Medieval Times. I did that when my kids were young. Wasn't the Medieval Times the best? I loved it. 
I am an avid swimmer. I did have issues with the bathing suit and my loose thighs.I felt like 
but it was too hot to do that. I did not snorkel, though I do enjoy that also. I just layed in the sun, dined out with my girlfriend and we talked alot. I needed time to think things over with the relationship that I was in. It really does not seem to be working. He is sweet and nice, but not really for me. He makes no initiative moves toward me and I need some of that 
& 
I am used to that and he totally lacks that part. I think that is his upbringing. Oh well. I also enjoyed ther Dollar Stores. I thought NY had great ones, but these were great. I was not so happy to come back to NY. Tomorrow is BACK TO WORK. 
I was happy to hear about your trip also.
Take care....Lorraine

It seemed so lonely around here without you and Nona! I am happy you had fun and I am glad you are back.
That cruise I went on is the first vacation I have had in years, since my twins were 2 and they are going to be 17 on Saturday. But I often think about what I wouldn't be doing if not for this surgery. I took the steps every time from deck 4 to 10. I could NEVER have done that before. As it was, I was out of breath, but still breathing I also flew down to Tampa. It was the first time on a plane so I was scared, it hurt my ears, but I fit in the seat. 
My brother just moved from Tampa back to Ohio. He is a PA and he got a job at the University of Findlay. He still has a job in Flordia on the weekends, so he has to fly back and forth. Ugh! Findlay is 2.5 hours away from me, but this is my fun brother and sister-in-law and I am so happy that they are in driving distance of my house. I am hoping I can see him more often. Seeing him is like having a mini-vacation because you laugh so much.
Tell us more about your trip! Did you swim? Snorkel? Did you see Disney or Medievil Times? (that was the first time I ever saw the ocean too!)

Allison Topic: My Florida Trip
Hi there guys! How is everyone doing? I left last Wednesday for Florida. I got off in West Palm Beach. I must say the flight was great. I flew with Jet Blue out of JFK in New York. I had tears in my eyes when I got in my seat. The one thing I could do was "FIT IN THE PLANE SEAT". I didn't have to sit right on top of someone. The seat belt fit with plenty of room and I could cross my legs and relax. It was wonderful . I got up to go to the ladies room and did not have my big butt in anyones face trying to get through. I know this sounds a bit crazy,but it's just one more thing most people can do all the time, and it was one thing that was a bit deal for me. I relaxed in the sun and truly enjoyed myself. I met some nice people also.
Does anyone want to share some vacations plans with us.
Come on guys.... Tell me about your vacation this summer.

Topic: RE: Ready To Go
Dear Nona,
I hope it does help your back and the rashes. It should! I bet just that alone makes it worth it. If I had to guess, I would say 9lbs of skin... just in case you have a bet going hehehe
God bless, and my family will be praying for you.

Topic: RE: Hurricane Katrina
How wonderful of you to be so unselfish and brave. I will pray for you every night. It makes me feel ashamed how I would be scared to go. I was thinking about sending money to the people who will rebuild their houses and I love the salvation army. I wish we could hear from you inbetween times until you get back. Please give us lots of details. I know I will be thinking of you every time I hear the words Red Cross and anything to do with the whole situation.
