Hi! I think I relate to your feelings. My date is Jan 10 in Mexico. When all my arrangements were completed, I was pretty tight. I have since calmed a bit. All the people on this sight are such wonderful support. As my husband is also anxious, we are not good to talk with each other about it. However, the good folks on this site know how we feel, and are so helpful. Even if you don't write lots, just reading others successes, fears, concerns, and triumphs is such good "medicine". Soon your date will be close, and you will be so glad that you are in the right place. It's great your Mom will be with you, especially as flying is difficult for you. Good LucK! Be Free
