Starting "Vacation" tomorrow

Well, here I go again...surgery tomorrow to redo my implants due to the rippling. I was so much more excited last time with just the thought of shedding those rock hard expanders. Now I'm nervous just praying that the second time is a charm. My previous motto was "this is not a dress rehearsal so please get it right!". As I've said before most people are viewing this as a vacation or choice to get bigger boobs. One asked me if I'll be D or DD. I said, yup that's me, daring and double daring. My sister checked with me to make sure surgery is Thursday and then said, "well have fun." ugg.... So now I'm waiting for the call to "confirm my flight reservation" tomorrow morning. I'll be sure not to have more than 2 ounces of anything, I'll get there early to go through check in and get my boarding pass. I'll have my husband walk me to the security check point and wait for the lovely flight attendants to buckle my IV in. The "Captain" will walk through and remind me of my destination. I'll gladly take the offered cocktail! Next thing I know I'll be hearing weather conditions on the ground. My handsome husband will be anxiously waiting to greet me. I'll take the next round of cocktails and rest after such an exhausting day and make plans for the rest of the "vacation". I'm thinking of staying on a private island, no outside sources of any kind. For any of you who have been on this "vacation" before, got any suggestions? I'll be sending you all postcards!

    Vacation! :-)
    I have not had the honor of going on such a vacation, so the only thing I can possibly offer is: be nice to your servers, tip the cabana boys, and be careful of the drinks with umbrellas in them~ they can be treacherous! What else? Don't let anyone sell you a Timeshare, and oh yeah, if you get the DD's, make sure you use lots of sunscreen! :-)

    Continue to be excited!! Send postcards, and enjoy!!!

    Hugs, and seriously, happy healing~ you will be absolutely fine!
