Topic: Going to Disney! Any advice?
Hi all!  This will be our (Santa/DH and I) first trip to WDW!  And, of course, that means I have questions!

What shouldn't we miss?  What should we do about dining - we have the free dining plan but I understand that you should make reservations in advance?  What restaurants are really worth it - of course, keeping in mind my that I don't eat huge portions as most of us do not.  Any shows that we shouldn't miss? 

Please, any tips and tricks and advice would be greatly appreciated!  

Thank you, thank you! I'm SOOO excited!  Even moreso now that I can get my tush on a few rides!

Topic: New to this forum but not OH
hi, Im new to this forum but have been around OH for a few months now. I love to travel and hoping to get to do more of it now that I am an empty-nester. I am working on becoming a travel writer and hope that someday I'll be good enough at it that it will pay the bills. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi

Topic: RE: Plane seatbelt extenders
In case anyone searches this thread, I bought one on eBay and boy was I glad!  I needed one, definitely!  I needed several inches!  I was able to surreptitiously take it out of my carryon bag and apply it, then put my jacket over my lap.  I don't think my co-worker even noticed.  When we landed, I did the reverse and had it back in my bag before anyone noticed.  That was Feb. 2010 when I was 320/ 325ish.

I'm not flying again until May 2011, which will be 6 months after my surgery.  I will hopefully not need it, and when I get back, I plan to sell that sucker!!!  :)  It was $35 + shipping- ouch!  But well worth it to keep me from having to ask for one!

     

Temporarily holding on losing more because I'm gaining!  Pregnant with my first baby (a boy!) due June 2013, after two rounds of IVF.  SO GRATEFUL!

Topic: RE: Travel to 3rd World Countries after WLS?????
 Yes, the American Embassy in whichever country you're going to should be able to help you with a lot of things.  Especially in emergency situations, you can relay on them.

Topic: RE: European Travel?
 How long will you be there?  If you need (and have time) you could get some food mailed over from some of the health food stores in London.  Holland & Bartnett's is really good and there are also some Whole Food stores around the city as well.  I think they both have online stores with shipping so that might work for you.

Topic: RE: Plane seatbelt extenders
Instead of buying one, your best bet is to simply call the airline and ask for their advice.
Then the cabin crew can may be able fit a slightly bigger seatbelt to your chair before you get on to the plane.
Saving you a lot of worry and embarassment.
Its definitely worth giving AirTran a call!
