Laura,

So you are heading to warmer weather next week for spring break? Sound nice, we are doing the opposite and heading for snow. We are going skiing at Lake Tahoe. Haven't been there in almost 20 years, so I am sure it has changed.

Kevin - You WEREN'T on that dive, were you? That's a little too close for comfort for me.

 

[Just Me 2]

Any one here going to DW after the cruise?

No! Here is the accompanying write up that went with the posting. Interesting! I'm not a believer in feeding wild creatures and this is why.....

"And finally, speaking of sharks, if you think you're having a run of bad luck, pity the
poor photog who couldn't take this shot. Yes, that's really a Tiger Shark. And yes,
that's really a fully-equipped (expensive) housed SLR system with strobes dangling out
of his mouth. The picture comes from Paul Krupela of Pasadena (he's already won an
Honorable Mention in the Beneath the Sea Photo Contest) and it seems that Paul was
with a group shooting Tigers in the Bahamas. As Harry tells it, " . . . the shark (Nacho)
approached the divemaster, who was shaking a crate of fish to attract them . . Nacho
got the lid to the crate and was swimming around with it, when he apparently realized
it was not a fish. His whole temperament changed quickly and he became very
aggressive . . . He swam over and circled and bumped a photographer (Andy Salmon)
a few times, then swam back to the divemaster and went straight for the camera. He
grabbed it and took off, finally dropping it several hundred yards away (out of sight).
Jim Abernathy (divemaster) swam after Nacho and finally retrieved the camera . . .
There were major scratches on the dome port, and Nacho actually snapped a few
shots of the sand. Paul was in the perfect location as Nacho swam away with the
camera . . ."

That is nacho ordinary shark! At least I hope not.

We aren't...we have to get back to work.

 

[TiggerInNY]

That is NOT my idea of fun. I'd get ticked too when I figured out it wasn't food. Thank goodness there's crazy people out there that want to go into the ocean with those fish. Big fish. "You're gonna need a bigger boat". That's one of my favorite lines from Jaws.

You are GOOD!!! REAL GOOD!!!

Any one here going to DW after the cruise?

We are for Saturday and Sunday only. Need a WDW fix! We want to do Expedition Everest as well as spend some time at Epcot for the Flower and Garden show.

 

[Dancind]

Those guys are lucky that the shark went for the camera, and not a leg or a head. Training sharks to come to humans for food, what brain donor came up with that idea?

Just what I need, another great mental picture for when my loved ones are under the sea.

 

[Just Me 2]

Mary, That's why we want to go. We want to do Everest and the car stunt show. Haven't been to DW in a couple of years. Can't decide where to stay.

 

[TiggerInNY]

I think I'm going to sign off for now guys. My eyes are getting heavy and I might as well grab some sleep before DH starts getting restless. Who knows, he may be still awake when I get upstairs. I'll soon find out.

Or, I may be posting here in the middle of the night(for all us East coasters). I hope not. He said he was tired tonight when he came home from work. He worked a double today, so hopefully he IS tired.

Chow for now...

edited to add: Woo Woo - a U-TOP with DH and his restlessness. Oh joy!!!

 

[Disney Fans]

Just stopping by to say a hello! But I guess everyone is gone for the night>

 

[justmestace]

I tried to get on here, and the site was down.

Oh..I would LOVE to stay at WDW for a couple of days......big difference between what I want, and what I can actually do. I'd love to do Everest too.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Morning All - Cool again here - perhaps I need to put on the heat....

Or maybe just have a cup of coffee.... as I catch up....

Cats are going bonkers as it is cold!
