Later this week.....

[Blueyes]

You and Gary have a good time exploring in the afternoons. I know you will

Goodness Gayle, you sure are a busy woman, do you get anything like frequent flyer points for all of this traveling you have done?? You are always on the go to some place exciting.

Make sure you take a little time and just enjoy being there!!! and have a safe trip, can't wait to hear all about it. I live vicareously (sp) through you and all of your travel's since i never get to go anywhere LOL

I know, I am very fortunate to get to travel some with my job. The problem comes when I have to travel and Gary is not doing well. In fact, I was supposed to attend this conference last year (it was in San Diego) and he ended up having tests for a lung blood clot so I didn't go. It turned out he did not have the blood clot - so that was good, but it still changed my travel plans.

I don't mind traveling, but it is more complicated if I am leaving Gary or even taking him with me.

Just the same, I know how lucky I am to get to go to these beautiful places - even if I didn't realize how pretty it was the last time I went !

Wish us luck getting there. I refuse to get there after dark, because of the drive out to the island has very complicated directions to get there, so we are flying Southwest into Ft. Meyers. We have to fly to Orlando and then only have 30 minutes to make our connection to Ft. Meyers. I hope the walk to the gate is not too far because Gary can't walk far or fast. Some airports have carts to take you to your gate, but some only have wheel chairs and Gary hasn't yet agreed to be pushed in the w/c. Hopefully, the plane will be early and we will make it to the gate in plenty of time.

I hope they have carts for Gary. I flew into Ft. Meyers a few years ago and then took a long cab ride to a ferry, which I missed, to get out to the island I was going to. I was alone, and only had myself to take care of, which is so much easier. I grabbed the next ferry, and enjoyed a lovely lunch.

Can you call the Orlando airport and check the distance between planes, or maybe arrange for a cart to meet you at the incoming flight? I hope it works out well, and that both of you do get to enjoy this beautiful island.

Oh, Gayle, I'm so sorry that you're being sent to such an awful place!!!! I'd be willing to take your place and suffer through for you.......being the good friend that I am. Just let me know what time my flight is!!!!

Really......what a beautiful place!!! I'm sure that you'd enjoy it a lot more if you didn't have meetings to go to.

Hmmmm.......I wonder what things rent for.......that would be a wonderful family vacation place!!!!

[Lindsey]

Gayle... no sympathy from me either lol! You may have a conference in the day but you get to spend your evenings enjoying such a beautiful place! I think that would be a nice break from working all day and spending the evening at home!

Hey Gayle! Just wandering how you and Gary are doing.

I hope the weather is decent there. I have seen on the news about all the airport delays due to the weather. I hope everything is going well.

Just thought I'd post because I was thinking about you guys traveling.

Looking forward to hearing from you!~Hugs!
