Travel Prep Day

We're trying to get all our "ducks in a row" to be able to leave tomorrow for TX. We want to get down there before we meet Gustav face-to-face. We don't want to get grounded somewhere between here and Plano.
Joe worked on the coach today, I did laundry and then got my hair cut. Things are slowly coming together for us. Of course, it was a VERY HOT!!!! day today so that didn't make it too pleasant for us.
James has been in town all week on business and was supposed to leave today to go back home to FL. He got word from Carol that her Dad's lung collapsed and he was put on a ventilator and moved to ICU. SO, their plans have changed. The girls will be here tonight (flying up from FL) and they will all go over to Jackson tomorrow morning. James and Abby will fly back to FL on Tues. so they can go back to work and school and Carol will stay up here indefinitely. She isn't working outside the home anyhow so she has the flexible hours to do this.
Got a call from the Dr's office in TX to verify the dates next week and that I would indeed be there. Of course, I'm ready to get on with this thing, whatever it is. We have our reservations at the same Extended Stay Hotel and plan to check in there on Tues. That will give us most of Wed to get settled in since I don't see the Dr. until 4 PM. Then my surgery will be sometime on Thurs-they aren't wasting anytime. I'd love to be early in the day but won't know until we get there.
Stay tuned for future updates-thanks to all those who have called and written and asked about us.
