Morning everyone.

I am "following" Tango on twitter for the next couple of weeks...She said I could snip from the other board and share with us all here.  She is limited for time as you can imagine.

She posted this a couple of days ago:

Nov 18, 2015 at 11:28pm tangodancer said:Oh my, what a day! At first, I thought it was Monday because of everything that went wrong. Hubby dropped me off at an airport hotel last night. Flight was at 8:45 today, I thought. So I thought if I got there at 7:15 or so, it would be fine. Since I'm here for a conference + Thanksgiving, I had a large suitcase and 4 boxes to check on Southwest (something I do quite frequently). I made it to the curbside check in where there was quite a line. Finally, I was almost to the front of the line and a guy walking behind us missed the curb and face planted behind us. Almost 10 min. disruption as we saw how badly he's injured, get help, wait for him to decide he's all right except for broken glasses and a cut on his face. I finally got up to the counter, and the guy said he can't help me because the person who can charge the fee to my credit card wasn't not there. I'd have to wait for her. Now every time in the past I've done this, the person has prepared everything and then passed me to the person who can do the charge or taken me inside to someone else who can. Full 10-mn wait for this person to appear. Got all the paperwork completed and waited to make sure everything was correctly tagged. Got in line for TSA pre and my Valentin hoodie!!! set off the metal detector. Had to do the full body scanner and then a manual pat down. Then my backpack with my laptop in it had to be rescanned with the laptop removed. Finally, looked for my gate and sat down, wondering why there were so few people. Finally, about 15 mn before departure, I went to check the gate, and my plane was not listed. I asked the girl what happened. Apparently, I was at the wrong gate (not quite sure how that happened, but I hadn't had coffee yet). I ran to the other end of the terminal and was the last one on the plane. Not only did I get the dreaded middle seat, they had to gate check my roller bag. 

Made it finally to CA, met my friend (who just escaped the chaos of the blizzard in Denver to arrive a few minutes before me), and my suitcase came out of the baggage carousel as did my gate checked roller bag....but...no boxes. So I spent quite a while in the baggage area figuring out where the boxes were and when I might be able to receive them. Then we had a close-to half-mile trek, trailing luggage, to get our rental car. Both of us were exhausted, jet lagged and hungry. I suggested Fratelli's. It took about 30 mn to get there, but as we walked up, I could picture MnM sitting on the terrace, recalled the pictures of Maks working to help remodel the place. We were greeted and went up to the counter to order, and who should be there taking our order but Yaron. 

My friend placed her order and paid, and then it was turn. I told him what I wanted, and I asked if he was Yaron. Of course, I knew he was, but thought it less creepy to ask. I told him I was there because of Maks, because of all the food pix that he has posted. I asked him if he was coming to Sway and said I would be there, too. He asked where I was from, and I told him. I said I had been to the last 2 Sways as well, and had front row seats to all 5 of the upcoming shows. He walked over to the side and said "Henry, we've got a Swayer here." And there was Henry sitting right there with a friend! 

All my travel trials and tribulations were forgotten in an instant. I stepped over and reminded Henry who I was. I told him I was sorry that I hadn't been able to see Forever Tango, but that I was going to Sway for the whole week and would see him there.

My friend and I went out on the terrace and had our late lunch. The food was terrific, every bit as good as the fam's comments and the pix have suggested. I posted a pic of what we ate on instagram at tango.dancer.75

Then we got on the road and drove 4+ hours to San Diego where we are now.

OH WOW!!  THANKS FOR THIS VIEW AND TANGO!!!!  so sorry for you travel troubles but wow what a story about Fratelli's!!!  was Henry nice in person?????....I am so excited for you to be at Sway!!!!! can't wait to hear your recap

Tango that is WONDERFUL that you were able to meet Henry.  I am sorry to for your travel troubles but so glad you were able to go to Fratelli's and share your experience us.  I too can't wait to here your travel recaps and SWAY experience...

Ok so I had an idea....things will be getting busy this week with the DWTS two night finale and then Thanksgiving  all this week so I wanted to start this today and hopefully it will carry over for the next few days until we have all joined in (even those who don't live in the US...I know this is a US holiday...but come join us...ok)......sooooo here's my idea.......


I think we should have a virtual Thanksgiving dinner together here .....I am going to start it .......just add a post of things you are thankful for this year....from the board or real life....and if you know how post a pic of a Thanksgiving side dish.....(I will bring the turkey).....if you don't know how to post a pic it's no problem...just post your thankful post......everyone is welcome to join in....and it doesn't have to be just today....LOL....our "dinner can last awhile".....I know Sunday's are kind of slower on the board so there may be more sisters here in the next couple of days

I am going to go first to get us started.....

I am so thankful for so much this year......for great doctors and hospital close to home for us and for family and friends.....I am also so thankful for all of you and the support you've given us.....you guys have made me smile on rough days.....held my hands when I needed it and been there to celebrate with me on good days too   before I met you guys, had someone told me that I could and would become such good friends with women I had never met in person before I probably wouldn't have believed them....but yep that's what happened

and I am really thankful for the laughter......for the times I burst out laughing at something someone said on here and my family looks at me like I'm crazy.....LOL....and I look forward to so much more laughter in the future with you guys too.....LOL.....after all we have holidays coming up and a tour to follow and Tango's trip to Sway and then a whole new season of DWTS  (((((group hugs)))))

hope you guys like this idea.......and .....LOL.....here's the turkey!!!




 

April, I love the idea.  

I am going to bring my mother-in-laws broccoli casserole...it is delicious.  It is always all gone at the end of dinner...I will post the recipe on our other board for you all.  I may bring something else too!!!



What am I thankful for....where do I even start.  I am thankful for my family and their love and support...I am thankful that my back is healing.  Then like April I am so thankful that a year and a half ago I got on line and found the DWTS board.  I have never in my life been on a "chat" type board but it was one of the best and rewarding things that I have done.  Like April, I never could have imagined that it would be possible for a group of women from all over the country, actually world (Gabriele and HRM), never meeting in person but forming a friendship that has continued to grow each day.  To have and know that you are all out there and care, to like April said, hold our hands, laugh with us, cry with us or just be there to talk to when we need someone has been a great blessing in my life and I hope in yours too!!!  We have formed a bond with each other, that I am sure many on the old ABC Board laughed at and said would never last....well it has and I hope it continues to grow an get stronger each day.

I love each of you and am Thankful that you are a part of my life and I am glad to call you all "FAMILY"
