Yep, and I'm leaving tomorrow (Wednesday). :rotfl
I entered a sweepstakes for a trip for 4 to SeaWorld, and I won. I found out two weeks ago, but I didn't get around to posting about it. I've never won anything in my life, and I certainly didn't think I'd win this trip when I answered the questions in the contest.
I get to fly in the "Shamu" plane! hahaha.

I also have front row passes to the new show at SeaWorld and get to go behind the scenes with the 3 other people that I chose to come with me. Everything is free ... flight, hotel, SeaWorld, transportation. The only thing that we pay for is food and whatever else we want to do. We're also going to Discovery Cove while we're there, because I loved it the last time I was in Florida. That's where you snorkel with all the fish and swim with the dolphins, but I did the whole dolphin experience twice already, so I'm skipping that this time.
Here are a few pics of when I did that at Discovery Cove a few years back.

So anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, but I'll be back late on Saturday, so I won't be gone long. I'm just letting you guys know in case you wonder where I ran off to. :biggrin

Congratulations!! :party :party You really deserve it after all you've been through in the past.
First Exjade, then the cheque and now this. Looks like you are on a roll from now on. Good thing! I hope this is just the begining of good times for you forever. :flowers

Thanks, you guys! :biggrin
Sajid, thank you so much for your kind words, but bad things are still happening, and probably will continue to. :sadyup
My MRI's were finally read, and it shows that I have a herniated cervical (neck) disk, and may need surgery. That is what is most-likely causing all the pressure going down my spine, so I will be seeing the orthopedic surgeon next week.
I will also be having a consultation with a GI surgeon to see what they want to do with my intestines, because they are causing me major trouble, so part of them may have to be removed.
So, I'm going to try and have fun and relax on my trip, and then I'll be seeing a load of specialists when I return. :sigh
Be well, everyone. I'll see you when I get back. :wave

Oh my! :o , That really doesn't sound good! Well, try not to let it spoil the fun out of your trip. Don't think about it and enjoy your time.
I hope that it's not as serious as you think and I pray that you'll be fine after seeing the specaillists.
:pray :getwell
Take care and enjoy your trip.
