Later this week.....

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!!!!

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!

Hi Gayle.. I guess you left already and I hope that you check in with us to let us know that you have arrived...

Like the other ladies have mentioned. I will go in your place next time lol. Gee looks like paradise... SO beautiful to see blue water and sunny beaches . lol I know that you have to work.. but like Judy mentioned there is a starbucks for Gary to have breakfast..

After your conferences at night go enjoy the view , sit back let your hair down so to speak and just ENJOY! It soo cold here in the NE just looking at those photos makes me JEALOUS!! lol

judy · 01-30-2010, 02:14 PM

It was 1 degree here this morning, so I definitely would like to change places with you.

I hope the trip was easy for you and Gary. I know we all teased you, but we all do know that it is hard for you to travel. We are always here for you, Gayle.

Enjoy that beautiful island!
