Unfortunately, my doctor found out late last Friday that my heart is out of synch again, and I'm going to have to undergo some testing and procedures this next week that will make it impossible for me to attend the bash in Seattle.
I've debated just going anyway and taking care of things when I got back, but that approach could be pretty problematic, especially if I had a stroke while driving. Two years ago I had the same fibrillation combined with appendicitis on the trip home from Seattle, and would up in the hospital for five days.
After much personal debate, I've decided that I'd rather spend the time here typing posts than laying on my back trying to figure out escape plans from the Big House for Medical Maladies and Sick Sailors.
The good news is that I have a hotel reservation for a studio unit at the already booked up Hawthorn Suites for Thursday through Sunday that someone else can assume, at least I think so. If anyone wants to do so, I think we can call Linda at the Stanwood Travel Desk and she can arrange the switchover. I'll have to cancel one way or another on Monday or Tuesday, PM me if you're interested.
I also have a reservation for the boat trip on Friday. See the Boat Show thread for details. This is non-refundable, and someone can have it for free if it can be transferred. PM me if interested. I'll give priority to the person who assumes the hotel reservation, otherwise, first come, etc....
I'm really disappointed that I can't make the show, but know you'll all have a good time and lots of fun together. See ya' next year!
