Wow I missed lots of posts.

I have 2 cents on Minneapolis Mall of America.. I went to a family reunion up there, and first off, I hate malls. But for the experience- I went.. and honestly, I was really disappointed. Didn't like the shops, too crowded, and too many floors. But that's my opinion, and I guess since I don't like malls, it's not a sell point for me! I like shopping strips, where the stores are in a row outside, I don't like walking around inside malls.

Anyway, as for the Carolinas, I have a lot of family there. We go there every once in a while, and Charleston (I can NEVER remember which city is in which state), I wanna say NC. Charleston is AWESOME. It's so romantic. They have ghost walks, which I love.. lot of historic site seeing, we walked around the city for days. I love it, and it was on my choice of places to honeymoon :pray2:

I just called them and I could have a total of 3 (2 bedroom park models) 1 in my name and the other two could be in Kat's name or Terry's name....... AND if you completely wanted your own reservation you could sign up for the TOUR! LOL..

Hilton Palacio del Rio

30_star.gifRatings

Location: San Antonio - Riverwalk

Located near The Alamo and the River Center Mall, The Hilton Palacio Del Rio is situated on the famous Riverwalk and adjoins La Villita, the original Village of San Antonio. Step outside the hotel and enjoy all of the activity and entertainment this great location affords

this trip round trip from Baltimore MD would cost me $652.50 and the room is based on dbl occupancy so..... someone would just need to get there...

that is if Michelle would fly with me????

Terry------your assignment should you choose to take it----is get us some San Antonio links---or did I miss them???

The riverwalk many, MANY years ago was enough that my DD who was 7 (so almost 20 years ago) still talks about it and wants to go back. She remembers the ride on the canal----it is also something I would love to do again.

Branson is somewhere on my TO DO list---------so.......I too like the narrowing down of it!

Laura, I was just kidding---the mall is something I have to do with my girls!

It is a long convoluted story. My DD and my former best friends DD, Jesica, grew up very very close. Jesica lives in Minnesota now, and wants us to come see her. What muddles things up??? Her Mom, one of my old time best friends from grade school....is now living with Manda's Dad, my ex husband! Which in an of itself, I could deal with, but she lied about it to me for years! I would chew Manda out about keeping my business my own, not to share details of MY life with him. He would call over here, usually drunk, and know all this stuff. I had no clue---for all I knew only thing we had in common was a daughter! Then by total accident, when going over to visit the DD in from Minnesota----I saw pictures of him, and figured it out. I could have dealt with her lack of taste, but her lack of honesty killed the friendship. He and I divorced because he was fooling around. He is still married to someone else, and living with her, he has not changed!

Anyway the girls have kids 2 days apart! Gage was born 2 days after Kinsey. So we made tentative plans to go in September of this year.

Not a big deal---malls are a take it or leave it for me. I will say I like them much more now that I can buy things in them in many stores besides Lane Bryant!!

Ok no cruise or we have to take Charles.....and if we take Charles, we don't see any of Tracy!!!!!!!!!! So much for him acting as body guard!!!

Hugs~~

If we opt for TX--there is going to be driving involved. It has been years since I drove in SA.......the damned inner loop and I hated one another!! Do we have willing drivers?

Kat

If we choose San Antonio, I will drive there. It is like I think 3-4 hours from houston. By the way, I have a van so I can fit myself & 5 more (or 6 depending on how small we all are by then).:pray2:

Transportation.... :pray2: I am one hour from Branson, and I am <15 minutes from Springfield Airport.

I can drive 5 of us, anywhere, or in Branson wherever we would need to go. I could possibly barrow a Suburban. How many bandsters can you fit in a Suburban?

As for TX, not sure if I could drive, or fly in.

(Tracy... have you been to Branson Landing yet? LOVE IT. If you can not book enough, do you think someone else could book for us too, if they do not plan to go? My friend goes there a lot. I assume she is member/owner????)

OK.... I'm just going to say this.......

Not everyone is hip on Branson for this trip, so I say lets take it off the table and decide on San Antonio.

We can always plan a SECOND weekend in Branson for a later time and those of us who would do it.. can.. OK? Even if it is just a Kat/Tracy/MaizeMommie weekend! :pray2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
