I realize this isn't meetings and such like the gatherings they

organize, but have we made the caregivers board aware and welcome to

join? There are probably several of those who would be interested as

well.

Bruce,

I'm in the process of writing something up and Leanne will post it on the Caregivers Board.

This get together however will be different from the ones that the Caregivers side usually plans. The focus on this will be relaxation and enjoying each others company!

I realize fun fun fun is the word. There are still some patients though

who don't participate here but do know some of us, either directly or

through their spouses. Those less active here may be the ones actually

to benefit more.

Also, one thing I know I'm going to do while there is cruise the

Tennessee River. If a group want to do it that would be great. It's a

beautiful time of the year with four hour cruises with food on both the

Southern Belle and the Blue Moon. You can have Lookout Mountain and Rock

City all you want, but nothing compares to the beauty of the river,

especially the River Canyon area.

Another incredibly nice place to visit in Chattanooga is the Aquarium.

Two choices of cruise providers:

Blue Moon- http://www.bluemooncruises.org/cruise_fall_color.htm - which

is $49.

Southern Belle -

http://www.chattanoogariverboat.com/www/cruise-details?cruise_id=75 & date\

=1256918400 - which is $30

Hopefully flu shots, especially swine flu shots, will be available prior

to then, although I wouldn't bet on it. I don't know about your area,

but around here Swine Flu has picked up steam during a period there

normally isn't much flu. A church youth choir group had over 30 members

get it and another camp group experienced similar problems. In fact,

many camps have been cancelled as a result. The good side is that it is

treatable, does respond well to Tamiflu. But we all need to remain alert

to its possibility now and during flu season and get medical care

immediately if we get it. In fact, if you have known exposure to it, I'd

recommend seeing a doctor about Tamiflu.

Chattanooga has some of the best restaurants for a relatively small

town. We always attributed that to the tourism. It's a beautiful area.

Last time I was there I spent a couple of hours just on the riverfront

looking at the river and watching people and watching boats go by. I

lived on the river and once took a trip by boat that covered 8 days and

many lakes.

The weekend before my long trip I went to Fort Loudoun Lake and Watts

Bar north toward Knoxville and back through Lake Chicamauga. Then on my

trip I covered Lake Nickajack, Guntersville Lake, Wheeler Lake,

Lake, and Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee and then took the Tombigbee

river south and covered Bay Springs Lake, Montgomery Pool, Rankin Pool,

Fulton Pool, Wilkins Pool, Amory Pool, Aberdeen Lake and Columbus Lake.

Needless to say I was very good at locking through from one to another.

This stands out because its the only true vacation I took over a 25 year

period or so. Now I did top it last year with my 17 day car trip.

Definitely. The PA contingent itself has gotten quite large. I know some

of you have met before and hope you will have some sort of get-together.

While we don't have such a Texas contingent (well, we can be in Texas

and still be hundreds of miles apart), I still treasure the local

meetings I've had with several people.

Bruce,

Seems you covered a lot of territory on your water trip. My

grandparents had a boathouse and cabin cruiser on Lake Chickamauga at

Gold Point Marina. I have a lot of memories of the times we spent

there.

Have you heard about the river boat that used to be a hotel? It is now

docked in Chattanooga and will open up in the fall. I think it is now

open so people can tour it. I cannot remember the name of the boat.

My fondest memory of Lake Guntersville is trying to learn how to ski but

I just couldn;'t do it. I remember just floating in the water, right in

the middle of that great big lake! LOL

Toodles!

That's the Delta Queen. The same riverboat company owned three that

cruised the rivers and now has gone out of operation. The Delta Queen is

docked and already in operation in Chattanooga. Sad to me. It needs to

be cruising the rivers, not sitting.
