An ailing 14-year-old Illinois girl on a Pacific Ocean cruise took an unscheduled side trip Saturday — she was plucked by helicopter from the deck of her cruise ship and flown to the carrier Ronald Reagan for emergency appendix surgery.

Awesome!

Nothing like an appendectomy to put a damper on a vacation! This happened to us 2 summers ago with our daughter (at least we were on land and not sea!)
