Two aisle seats...GREAT IDEA!
I had it thought out that he would want to sit next to me but that would still be sitting next to me. I can pick my seats out in advance (now) and hopefully there is still room to switch. I wish I would have thought of this when I booked the flights!

It's such a relief to hear someone in the airline industry say that. Thanks for the tips on emergency exits and bulkhead seats, I'll check into that too.

Good to know...I know at least one of the legs of the flights are in small planes but I don't know how small. I'll have to check on that.

Unfortunately, a lot of my weight is in my stomach. BUT the good news is that in January, I flew and barely fit in the seatbelt. And I was about 5 lbs heavier than then. And I still have 3 weeks to lose maybe 3 pounds...every little bit helps!

Hey Gary! Reg and I were just talking about riding at the lake. I think we might go this weekend. We moved, we're in Normal Heights now, so we aren't as close but still it's not far enough to have that excuse.

That is comforting. I guess I am worried about my husband's comfort, and that of any passenger that shares our seats!
