I leave on Thursday and I'm packing light but only want to take a carry on...

Thank you Emily!

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, good luck to you chica!

Woo Hoo, your day is almost here.  Im sure you will do great.  Congrats FWLizzie

On the return trip I would book a wheel chair. I was able to wiz through all the check points and did not have a ton of walking to do.

Thank you Jennie!

 Congratulations!!!  You'll do great. I know you're nervous and excited. My son flies all the time and takes one carry and it has a place for his laptop in it. What airline are you going on and what hotel are you staying at. Maybe after we all have our surgery's we can all meet at a central location or something.

Good Luck!

Sharon

P.S. Keep in touch with your progress
 

Thank you Sharon!

I am flying with AA and will be staying at the Hampton Inn in San Diego.

I would love for all of us to meet one day!

Hey Liz,

It's finally here!!  Remember if you are traveling alone.....I can't remember if you are or not...if so, then remember to make sure it will fit under your seat or else you will have to ask some kind stranger to lift it into the overhead bins, as you really cannot lift much after the surgery.  I had to lift all my sister's luggage in Jan.  In May I will be the lifter when my hubby goes too.  So, if you have a traveling buddy, then no big deal, but if alone, be mindful of that on the way back. 

Make sure everything you have is 3.4 oz or less, or they WILL throw it away!  Only 1 quart size bag, and only one bag per person.  Both times I went down to TJ we only had carryons, you just don't need that much stuff!

I have heard they have a lap top at the recovery house now.  We took ours but it would not connect to the wi-fi there even with the codes.  We lugged it for nothing, and it was heavy!  We never really had that much time to use it anyway, you are busy chatting with fellow patients!

Have a great time, and let us all know how things went.

Godspeed

Jean

 My sister is only 15!!!  I am very excited for her.  We are leaving on the 7th and spending the night in San Diego, so we'll be in Tijuana Thursday morning.  She is having her surgery that morning, the 8th!  See you all there ;)

Great to hear Sarah!...will see you, your sister, Terry and Wendy there!!

Terry is already suggesting a party, yeah we can all toast with our gatorades lol
