You're welcome and Welcome back! How was DW? Hope you had a great trip!

OT-probably more than you really want to know.


Hot, wet, & COLD! But mostly GREAT!!

We arrived early, 7am. We decided to stay the night in Lake City (although we had planned to drive all the way through). Our room was ready. It was a standard at Kidani, but not really we had a kind of savannah view. Our room was positioned so that we were on an animal pass through from the barn to the big Savannahs. The animals would congregate around there. We had one Okapi all the time, the red river hogs would also come out when the keepers were there an play around. It was neat.

Thursday it was SOO hot and humid during the day. We went to DHS just long enought to ride Toy Story Mania and come back to the hotel. Quick nap and get ready for MNSSHP. As we were getting ready it was a torental downpour and thunder that shook the hotel. We hopped a bus and headed to the MK. It rain in sheets from the time we got out of the bus until we got to CP for our ADR. As soon as we sat down it stopped and thank goodness it was done for the night. The party was great. Friday was hot and humid again and we cut AK short, I think I was really dehydrated because when we got back the room I drank 3 bottles of water and slept for 3 hours. When I got up it was DD for dinner and shopping. It started pouring again after dinner so we ran to World of Disney and looked around. Not much new so we headed back and watched the Okapi from the balcony. Saturday was Epcot. Great day but was much cooler, windy, and CROWDED! We did Soarin', Seas, WS with food samplings, Spaceship Earth and the free Visa meet and greet. Then we went back to get ready for dinner at Boma. AMAZING. The whole day it seemed to be getting cooler and a lot of people were wearing sweatshirts and jackets. Sunday we were up early to drive 12 hours back so we would be at work Monday. When we got into the car, the digital thermostat that tells the outside temp said 32. I believe it, it was freezing. Through the coarse of the trip there was about a 60 degree change in temperature.

Overall it was great. SO glad we bought our DVC at AK. DH really (for real) wants an Okapi at home! He feel in love with that guy. Like clockwork every morning since we have been home DH opens the front door to go to work and says in his most serious voice: "He must still be walking. He's not out here yet. You know it is a long walk from FL." It is kind of funny but it is getting old.

I've not been on as much because my computer has been on the fritz lately. Every few days I have to use the restore disk to get it to work, then reset everything the way I like it. It is very frustrating, so I have just tried to check in once in a while. Hopefully everyone is doing well.

what's an okapi? too lazy to google

They are the only know relative to the girraffe. They are brown to black in color and their hind quarters are zebra striped. They have the same long prehensile tongue that giraffes have. They typically live in the rain forest.

I didn't immedately think, "Oh how cute!" but it grows on you. The one that was outside our room had a sweet personality. He was very playful and seemed to enjoy entertaining the guests.

It's a half zebra looking hooved animal I think. Poor hmc~~usually a DH falls in love with a dog, a cat, or maybe even a horse but an okapi is quite the challenge to bring home. That weather was pretty crazy! From hot and humid to cold and wet. 32 degrees? That must've really been hard to believe after hot and humid just a couple days prior. But overall, it sounds like you had a great time! Sure hope that okapi winds up on your doorstep one of these days. Thanks for giving a little trip report there, hmc, and hope your computer starts behaving itself because we love hearing from you on the thread.

That is sorta cute! You know, xmas is right around the corner...perhaps an okapi in DH's stocking?

 

[ShiPooOwner]

Hope the envies reached you safely last week. You will have another one sailing your way tomorrow.

Due to a temporary re-route of the train, I am sending an envie to Princesspaige in the morning. I'm sorry that it's not a very big one this week. I hope it arrives safely! Have a wonderful week!

More okapi guilt. If he had just decided he could not live without a bandanna tree, that is a little more doable.

Oh well, I give up. Anyone know where to get a discounted okapi sized Christmas stocking?
