jthurman 20 Posted March 23, 2012 I'm being sleeved by Dr Garcia on April 23rd. Haven't rode a plane in 25 years. Nervous about fitting into the seat! Hopefully your plane ride is short! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikki82 147 Posted March 23, 2012 Well maybe I'll see you there Jthurman. I arrive on the 26th and I've never been on a plane before EVER! lol My plane ride isn't short either. I'm flying from Philadelphia but I did manage to get exit row seating for all the flight's except for 1. I was told those seats are a bit more roomier.

nikki82 147 Posted March 23, 2012 Oh, geez. I can't remember which Hotel it is (I know) I should remember these things, but I believe Alma told me the Marriott as well. So you'll be leaving out the day of my surgery. Will you be traveling alone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jthurman 20 Posted March 23, 2012 No my stepmom is coming with me. We should be able to see each other though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikki82 147 Posted March 23, 2012 Yes, we should be able to see each other. I 'll be with my husband, but I'd love to come by and see you if you're not too tired or groggy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
