Welcome home! I'm glad to hear your father is doing a little better. Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

Jaycns, I don't know if you remember this but one day as you were getting on to the elevator at AKL, two "voluptuous" black women were getting off and one of them asked you if you posted on the D-I-S board!

I recognized your oldest son and your husband from the pictures in your last trip report - I'd recently read it. When I stepped off of the elevator and saw your son, I was stunned - It's like I'd been knowing him all my life. I told him "Hi" like he and I were old friends. Unfortunately, he didn't recognize me and actually looked at me like I was kind of crazy! When I saw you and asked if you were on the D-I-S board and you said no, I was totally shocked. I kept telling my sister, "that woman is on the D-I-S board, I know she is. I'm not crazy. Actually, for a while I was beginning to doubt my own eyes.

I met with GlendaMax a few days later at the Mara and was telling her the story and she told me that I should have said the Dis-boards. That maybe you didn't recognize the name. I didn't realize I'd been calling the board the wrong thing all this time. I wonder what else I've been saying wrong. How do you pronouce taboulleh, chipotle, and the name Ian?

Anyway, when I got back home I looked up all of the trip report that I'd recently read and yep, I found yours. And when I saw your timeline and resort I knew it was you!

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to officially meet. But I just want to relieve your mind... the crazy black lady in the elevator was none other than Sneezie!!!!

I remember that...I thought you asked me if I was on the C-I-S board! HA HA HA. I thought you were asking me if I worked there on the switchboard or something! I was scratching my head as I got into the elevator. I even remember asking my dh if I looked like I was working there and what those initals stood for!! I was totally stumped. Now I am I cannot believe what a geek I am! I should have figured it out. Well, HELLO THERE!!! And GlendaMax is wise...I do always say DISBOARDS. But had I heard "D" instead of making up the "C" with the I-S. I would have probably gotten it.

PS Belatedly, it was nice to meet you!

Sneezie - I've always said D-I-S too, so you're not the only one who has been calling the board the wrong name!

I can't WAIT to read your report! And, I really AM going to murder someone over that package - it took me three days to get it taken to you (Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday of your first week there) and then you didn't get it for heaven knows h ow long afterward! For SHAME, AKL! Favorite resort, I was NOT happy with you at all this trip.

GLAD you had a great trip despite the lodge's disarray!

Please follow that link to the very humble (and as of yet short) start to my trip report. I thought it would get lost in this long planning thread. Looking forward to seeing you there!!
