Topic: RE: OT: Virginia Vacation
I had not even considered that I might see some whales or large fish on the LONG ferry ride to the island. Oh goodie! I'll have to ask Keith about that. I know that some family friends got awesome pictures of sharks last year. Let me know how your plans turn out and if you come through Richmond, VA area, check in as well. We can meet for coffee or something. :)

Topic: RE: OT: Virginia Vacation
Thanks Lauren. Those all sound like great suggestions.
I haven't been to Newfoundland yet either, but I know one of the must do things when I go would be to go whale watching in a Zodiac. We did that when we went to Nova Scotia and it was a blast. They go so fast that we got to see up close and personal a lot of whales and seals. Let me know how you like it.
In the meantime, I know how I'll be spending my evening - thanks for those websites!

Topic: RE: Dropping in for a hello
Hi Courtney, I haven't been on here in ages either. You really helped me a lot when I was a newbie. This board was very active then. It will be two years in Sept. for me. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for all your help.
Topic: RE: OT: Virginia Vacation
Virginia is a great place to visit. We have the mountains, the beach, a close drive to dc and so much history.
I'm not sure if you are outdoorsy, but you mentioned the mountains. Here is a link to Shenandoah National Park:
http://www.nps.gov/shen/index.htm
there is skyline drive, waterfall hikes, various activities to include wineries, quaint little stops in various towns along the way. And if you are interested in an interesting tour go to Luray caverns.
I recentely found out about a site that connects you to people owning rental homes - direct - not through a rental agency. www.homeaway.com. You could get an awesome house/cabin rental in the mountains. :)
Oddly enough I'm traveling up your way at the end of the month. My newfie boyfriend is taking me home to see Newfoundland. I'm super excited as I haven't been to many places, let along over the border.
Have a great time, whatever you decide!

Does anyone here in Virginia (Culpeper area) have any idea where we can obtain these drinks?
I am willing to pick them up, I just don't know where to get them.
Bariatriceating is now 32.00 a case plus shipping charges.
Thanks,

My husband and I are taking vacation at the beginning of August. We are trying to decide between Washington DC and Virginia (I want to see the Blueridge Mountains). So, I'm looking for suggestions on what to do and where to go. Any help is appreciated.

Topic: RE: Anyone from Northern VA having surgery this month? June 20th is my date..Dr. Halmi
I hope yoursurgery went well and that you are recovering OK. I have not been the message board in some time. I had my surgery with Dr. Halmi at Potomac Hospital in Aug 2010. I am now down 102 lbs! The first 6 months are the easiest so put all your energies into making the most of those months with lots and lots of exercise and you will do great! I have about 10-20 lbs to go.
I attend the support group meetings at Potomac Hospital.
