I can't believe I did this, but I just booked a round trip air flight for me and my hubby. Southwest airlines. We leave in the am. I decided that driving 11-12 hours was not gonna be a good idea for me...physically and emotionally - and I'd rather be nervous on the plane for 2 1/2 hours than nervous driving for 12.
Did anyone ever use the lady suggested on the website to pick them up at the airport???

Thanks so much everyone! Reading all your kind words is actually making me teary eyed. Good lord....I can't believe how emotional this is. Did I mention I rarely cry either. Except for lately, in which a purina dog chow commercial can bring on tears....LOL! Well..todays the day we leave. Got the kids bags packed, money ready, bags ready, food,snacks, directions, car is in tip-top order, toll change, I can't think of anything else I can do. Thanks again, and I will bring my trusty laptop with me so I can stress out and share all the stress with you !!!HAHAHA

LOL You sound like me Chrissy I am crazy (fun of course) but also "Anal" lol I want to know how and what is going to happen ALL THE TIME! It is killing me not knowing what my scar is going to look like, if and when I'll get preggers. I am the type that needs to see the future lol Yea our drive was 10 hours. (Boy was that long) it felt longer on the ride home.

motherbug, you will feel so reassured once you get there. The entire staff really made me feel comfortable and at ease.
I also had the strange feeling of feeling like something would happen and I would leave my kids orphans! Plus my parents and my brothers did not know I was going and I felt some guilt over something happening to me and they wouldnt know about it. But I didnt let my kids know I was nervous, as far as they could tell I was excited. And I called them afterwards to tell them how things went. Mine are old enough to text so I got a lot of questions that kept me in contact. Except for my youngest, I kept it very low key and upbeat cause she would worry too much, she was 8 years old at the time. I was glad her Dad was taking her on vacation during that time cause it gave her something else to focus on. Anyway, I felt the same way about the kids! But I promise you that you are in great hands.
Lots wonderful people that explain everything to you are very attentive.

Thanks Danaka! I have actually been following your post's, since you recently got the TR.....thanks for all the information! I am the type that likes to be ultra prepared....ok, ok, I am more like a down right control freak. I admit it...LOL! I am just trying to prepare and I feel like I am forgetting something. Plus, I am not thrilled about driving this 11 hour hike...oh well. I am more terrified of flying...~sigh~ I sound like a real drag, don't I?? I'm actually quite fun...when I am not a stressed out fool. Thanks again! Any last minute tips, advice??

I am totally freaked out right now. At first when I scheduled, I was so excited....then, that faded to anxious. Now, I am just stark scared. I have myself dying before I even arrive. I imagine dying on the New Jersey freeway..... And, if I make the long journey from Connecticut to Chapel Hill, I imagine myself gaining 27 pounds in 1 day and not being able to have the surgery. Then, I imagine croaking in the surgery room.... Is this normal? I am so nervous that I am just cleaning my house like crazy. I have packed notes in each of my kids bags as if I will never see them again. I feel guilty. I feel like I am being selfish and risking leaving my three kids orphans.....wow....I really wish that it was Friday and this was all over and I was home in my bed recovering. Did I mention how nervous I was????? ~Chrissy
