YAY! First time event for me!

My sister and I will be staying at Cypress Palms in Kissimmee this week. I'm sure my new GPS will help me find my way to the Golden Corral. Looking forward to meeting fellow Tuggers. Thanks Joan & Ron!

Lots Of Golden Corrals In Orlando & Kissimmee.

I'm sure my new GPS will help me find my way to the Golden Corral.

Orlando & Kissimmee have Golden Corral locations all over the place, so be sure to set your GPS navigator to the address Joan gave.

But my kids get out at 2:45 and it's an hourlong drive

Fret Not -- The TUG Crowd Keeps Hanging Out Till Suppertime.

But my kids get out at 2:45 and it's an hourlong drive

No problem.

The TUG folks show up at 2PM (to get sr. citz. discount at the lunch price), then stay on well into the afternoon, talking & eating & eating & talking, etc., till Golden Corral brings out the supper menu items (including steak!).

We'll still be there - we are usually there until 6 p.m.

Golden Corral people are so nice! they let us stay and visit.

Your kids would be welcome if you want to have dinner for the family!!

We change chairs every time we get a new plate so as to meet everyone.

Give Our Regards To The TUG Gang, Because We Won't Be There This Year. (Shux.)

My ailing hip situation has been worsening & accelerating.

I was mostly OK just 2 months ago. Now I'm hurting all the time. Getting around is painful. Sleep is all but impossible.

Fortunately I have been able to get my treatment schedule moved up, with hip replacement surgery now set for Jan. 18, 2016.

That means not only will The Chief Of Staff & I miss the Jan. 20 TUG Orlando meet-up at Golden Corral, but our entire planned Florida timeshare vacation is totally scrubbed.

We canceled our airline & rental car reservations yesterday. Other family members may be able to use our non-refundable timeshare reservations, I don't know. (Mox nix -- there's no way I would be able do much in Orlando anyway, other than remain stationary & keep taking Celebrex.)

After surgery, I expect to be out of commission through mid- to late February. (The surgeon prescribed 4-6 weeks of physical therapy 1-3 times per week -- no fun, but extremely valuable in the process of getting OK again.)

If the outcome of all this is as good as my 2010 knee replacement, then I should come out OK. We'll see. Healing takes time.

Time takes time.

Sorry to hear that Alan! Wishing you a speedy recovery and a Happy New Year!

We have extra room if you need a place to stay

Let me know right away, otherwise I have to cancel the larger unit.

Will look forward to seeing everyone.
