Day 94. Vacation leave. 

5/27/2015

Good Morning.  I'm up early this morning...lots to do to get ready.  I'm going on vacation. I'm going on a seven day, all inclusive vacation in Toronto at the T.W.H.

You may have heard of it, it's a fine facility, though I must admit the food is not five star but the staff are.  I must share a room. I'm so looking forward to meeting my dorm mate.  So much fun.

The activities include MRI's and X-rays and blood work daily.  Unfortunately there is no choice, it is mandatory with the stay.  The first day is a rough one as it starts with surgery!

I won't come back with a tan, and there will be a little less backbone.  Jerri says that's a good thing, I have too much anyway and there are people out there with none.  I guess they donate it to those unfortunate people.  

We arrived at the "Resort TWH" and we were not met with a welcome cocktail, in fact nothing to eat or drink, but the staff were very nice.  I was issued a beautiful three piece outfit with matching booties.  It does come with a cute little bonnet too but I think it I will wait to wear that later. The waiting starts now.  

While I'm on vacation, I have people filling in for me so drop by and see what they have to say and the family will post updates.

Today's a short one, as I have a ride to catch and my chauffeur is waiting.  Have a great week folks.

You look great in green! Think of your vacation as a tune-up, which is what most vacations are anyway. Thinking of you....

Well it's not exactly Europe so I think I wait and join you on that vacation instead😊
Maureen, with your sense of humour and " backbone" you'll get through anything.
See you soon
Love Mary
