It's NEVER Too Late, for Number 8 - the most UNOFFICIAL, 'official' AKL thread yet!

[RachelTori]

Kim - I am thinking about you and your son this morning. Hope all goes simply and well.

Kim - your son is in our prayers.

Good morning, Js & Ks!

I think I had told you all that one of the hospitals Bob was in last year is having an Open House celebrating their 5th year in Richmond. There are Kindred Hospitals all over the country, but the one here was very new 18 months ago when he was sent there from ICU here in F'burg. They invited us to return to help in the celebration and I am canceling all my classes and private lessons tomorrow to take him. I got an email yesterday asking if I would speak at the Open House. So, amidst all my lesson planning, assignment writing, composition editing and general everyday "stuff" I am trying very hard to put together some notes so I don't forget the things we both want to say to these wonderful people.

I think Bob is as excited to get all dressed up tomorrow for the first time since January 16, 2011. Business casual is dressed up for him these days... He also wants to show off a bit for them. As hard as they all tried, they were not able to get him walking while he was there. At the end of his month at Kindred he could sit on the side of the bed and get into a wheel chair without passing out. He cannot wait to walk in that door using his walker. I can't wait to see him do it!

HOW EXCITING FOR YOU BOTH!! I know the hospital will be THRILLED to see the progress Bob has made! What an honor for you to be asked to speak!



I am packing today; will be traveling all day (and night!) tomorrow. I am so far behind on this thread now -- no chance of catching up!

I will be on the west coast until 10/6 and hope to be able to check in here once in awhile. I hope y'all are doing well. Again, sorry for being so absent (and absent-minded! )

Morning J's & K's - hope everyone is well today!!! I've still got this horrid headache - feel awful - taking medicine, but, it's not helping much -- sorry to complain so much, but - what are friends for right............ LOL HUGS to all of you, I appreciate ALL of you -

WENDY - I'm feeling better each day; still having trouble getting the zippers up on my pants.

Sorry to hear about your sinus headache. Take care of yourself.

Tomorrow is Boma breakfast and Boma dinner.

Thanks Kathy, I still have this headache, ugghhh, but, I'll live!!! I'm glad you're feeling better!!! Enjoy Boma - I'm SOOOOO jealous!!! Hugs my friend!

Wow, that must have taken some time, skill and energy to organize everything without him ever having an idea what is going on.

I will stay strong. Over the weekend he asked on what deck we are on. I nearly said deck 7 (which is the deck we are actually on), but I was not sure if there are any ocean view cabins on deck 7 and there is a possibility that he would know this kind of information. He actually probably knows the ships better than I do as he tends to do a lot of exploring and also made friends with some of the crew over the years. So I gave him the info for our initial stateroom assignment, which was indeed on deck 2.



I hope that you will have a wonderful time. We will stay at an Epcot resort for the first time in November and I am really looking forward to it.



You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.


That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.




I am sorry that you are feeling rough. I hope that you feel better soon.

Corinna

Thanks Sweetie!!! I appreciate it! I'm SO excited for your trip - it's going to be awesome!!! Glad I could help with a little tiny part of it!!! Hugs!!!

Wendy - I hope you are feeling better today!

Kathy - Have a great time today!!

Thanks Elin, not as much as I would like, but,..... it's just a headache!!!

Hi everybody! Hope all of you are well! I just want to say thank you all for this wonderful thread, without all of you and your help, I would have not known half the things I've learned, and especially about AKL. This was our first stay at AKL and by far our favorite resort! We had a wonderful trip in August and I cannot say enough great things about this wonderful resort!!

 

[franandaj]

Hi J's & K's!

I've been keeping up but just don't have much to say.

Kim - I hope everything goes well with your son.

Elin - have a great time showing off Bob's progress

Brandi - Hopefully you will get your answers and move on.

Laura - safe travels!

Ann - I hope you are enjoying your trip!

 

[Pinkocto]

Hi everybody I hope all is well.

Ann, what a fabulous surprise you were able to pull off! I would have been bursting at the seems with such a big secret.

 

[Pinkocto]

Wendy, I hope that headache leaves pronto!

Kim, prayers for DS.

Have you all seen these?

I bad want one of the pins..... Now I just need to figure out who is going to be therein October that I know..... hmmmm.

 

[Pinkocto]

Good morning everybody

Elin, that's so exciting for Bob and you, I hope the day goes well

Brandi, I'm glad the issue is over. I hope the stress is over as well.

 

[mla973]

Staying at AKV for the second year in a row. We leave in 16 days! This time, we're staying DVC studio at Jambo House. Are there any special requests I can make? We did not reserve a savannah view. We had one last year and it was great... just decided to spend money on other things this time.

We'll probably be hanging at the Kidani pool most... we're taking our DS2 and my SIL, BIL and DN2 will be going as well.

I am so excited, I can barely stand it. I love WDW and miss it terribly from last year. We're thinking of buying at AKV so I'm hoping this trip will solidify the decision (we're renting points now).

Just wanted to say hi... we'll try to rock our lime green Mickey head to be easy to spot as a DISer.

 

[brunette8706]

Hello All!

I just booked the AKL CL!

A few quick questions:

How is the food/offerings?

Any recommendations on room view?

As always THANK SO MUCH DISers!

Brunette

Is anyone else going to the AKL tomorrow?
