AKL LITE II - We're #2, but we try harder....

[brookelizabeth]

I really can recommend running. I started running ten years ago and even though I had long training breaks (like 12 months at a time or so...) I find it is a wonderful exercise. You don't need a lot of equipment, I can actually just start to run in front of my door, and I find that when I keep it up regularly I can really see that I am getting fitter! I never thought that I would be runner at all, but when I got started and had figured out that trick is not to run too fast, I started to enjoy it a lot. And it is a good opportunity to listen to WDW podcasts!!

I'm really wanting to get into running - I'm a VERY slow runner, and can't run very far...Henry just turns around and STARES at me as I'm huffing and puffing along. It's like he's saying "You okay Mommy?"

As far as the grammar thing - their/there bugs me!!

I bet I screw up grammar all the time and don't catch it though...

Can someone explain the difference in a standard AKV room and a savanna room? Is it possible to get a savanna view with a standard room booked?

...I'd call first to check availability - it's an upgrade, so to would definitely cost more...

Hey Everybody!!!! Sheesh, miss a day and you miss the entire iphone conversation............. LOL

Anyway - just checking back in.........

Well..... I had talked about a WDW trip with by best friend for quite some time and she mentioned that she might be interested to go in 2010. But it looks more like early February. When are you planning on being at WDW??

We are scheduled to go in early Jan. but you never know with us............ my b-day IS in Feb. so...........

...I'm so happy that you are feeling much better - stop by more often.....

Hey - Thanks!!! I know, I'm like the kid who doesn't call MOM often enough...........

Will I get kicked off this thread if I admit that, while I do like the occasional zebra dome, I do find them too sweet and really preferred the dark chocolate mousse at Boma? It was just full of bitter-sweet chocolatey goodness...

You know, I feel the exact same way - I like one or two domes, but I prefer the mousse!!! It's SOOOOO good!!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Hope everyone has good Jambo power lately
I am down to 18 days until Kidani and I am soooo excited!!!!
I am up to 5 weeks and 2 days since I quit smoking
And I am up to 5 miles walking a day with a little RUNNING mixed in.

Hey - I'm SO jealous!!! Have a great time and take LOTS of pics for us!!

Well, we're off to play golf tomorrow............ so, I won't be back around till at least Monday - I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Good Friday everyone! It's the first of May and we all know what that means-the opening of the Kindani and Sanaa-if anyone sees reviews on either-post them-post them!!!

1. We stayed in Jambo House in early March. In the evenings, I noticed them taking pictures in the lobby.

2. They do sell AKL mugs...at least as of last month. I bought mine a year or so ago but I noticed the same style was for sale last month. I love mine and am using it for my am tea right now. The mugs are large, tan, ceramic and have a slight concave shape. There's an embossed photo of the Lodge with animals in the foreground. It's sepia toned. Love it. I think there was also a travel mug style but I didn't pay much attention to that one. Sorry.

BCV-thanks for this...now I'll get my mugs the first day so I can make the good coffee in the mornings and be happy, happy, happy...

Also glad to hear about the photographers-in case mine don't come out...

athenna-awesome about quitting smoking and the weight and flossbolna also-congrats....

I too have a little um...poundage...to drop-its amazing what happens when you forget to excercise and stress eat to boot...I am going on the straight and narrow-after one last dome... I think I'm going to try WW on line-I hate to pay for something and not follow through and I'm going to begin working out next week with a friend who won't take no for an answer...so hopefully by the time we visit AKL in August-I'll be seeing some nice results...

I want an iphone too...

Happy Day, Happy May...

Go athenna!!

reely?? [...dontcha mean eye-phone??

On the weight discussion, I'd like to lose (or "loose" ) about 10 lbs, but despite exercising and watching what I eat I just can't seem to get there. I'm doing a weight-loss challenge at work and I had to pay this week because I was up a 1/2 lb. Ugh!

I tried running a few years ago and even ran a 5K, but I really didn't like it. I like walking much better - but the pounds definitely don't come off as quickly as with running.

While it's not pictures of Kidani, here's a few more from our last trip....enjoy!
