Well I can finally announce that we are BOOKED!!!! We will be staying at AKL Jambo house in a Standard-Studio April 11th-20thso we will be on the 5th floor correct?
Thanks to the AP rate for this Fall, we are surprising our kids with a December trip. We've always want to try the AKL, so we've booked there for Dec 11-16.
Now to figure out how to reveal the surprise!
Sharyn,
Cabs are easy to get -- just tell Bell Services you need a cab and if one isn't sitting out front, they will get it there usually within 5 minutes.
That will be a pretty expensive way to do the parks though. The buses start running very early in order to get people with 8:00am ADRs to the parks. Just make sure that you're not going to the park on an EMH day as they usually don't do the opening show those mornings.
So, for instance, when MK opens at its regular time (9:00am), you could catch a bus from AKL around 7:30 or 8am and still have lots of time to stand around and wait for the show!
....you shouldn't have posted this pic....the two yellow things in the middle looks like b**bs - and the upper right rasberry looks like a hidden Mickey...
The distance to the parks isn't bad at all - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! 
....I suggest reading my OP...there is a little something about this....
I did read the OP, and maybe I overlooked somewhere, but I only found information on why the Arusha view is the best. There wasn't really a comparison of the Sunset and Uzima savannah - which is the category I am in, didn't pay extra for Arusha Although it did help for floor request!
We were wondering where you were.The other thread got locked up late last night.
YAY for your reservation! I'm sure more than once your family will be grateful for the extra bathroom! (wise choice!)
, somehow the week went by & I realized that I hadn't been on all week. Gee I really need to do better.Well I can finally announce that we are BOOKED!!!! We will be staying at AKL Jambo house in a Standard-Studio April 11th-20th
Hi Kimmar!
The Sunset Savannah has ostriches (at least itdid when we last stayed at Jambo House) and Uzima affords more views of the giraffes....
'Morning!
Good Morning!
and PD 
PLEEEEEASE !!!

HELP
I've met my new class : only 19 pupils ( maybe one or two more will arrive next week ) , but ... many "issues" !!! Help !!!
Ill have a boy from China , a girl with anorexia , an adopted boy (from Bolivia ) who lived on the streets for the first 4 years of his life . Ive already met him outside of our school , he is still suffering from his past severe privations poor kid , he doesnt trust anyone but his new parents We also have a kid potentially aggressive , with recently splitted parents and a girl from Denmark ( not sure if she can speak Italian ).
But the pupil who makes me worry the most is a boy who is psychologically disturbed
To be honest with you , I am not happy to have all these difficult kids in the SAME classroom , Im afraid that there will be fighting and too many troubles .
Ive talked about all of this with my head teacher but we need to accept all the kids who apply for our classes ( the school needs MONEY) and I am the only teacher in the 1st course with patience and the necessary background - words of my head teacher !!!
I know Ill do my best and I feel I already love those kids on top of all though I have a brand new colleague ( for Maths ) , so well also need to learn how to work together , she should be my help.
Sorry , I wasn't meant to rant ... but I needed to talk to friends !!
THANKYOU for listening to !!
HAPPY WEEK to each of you !!!!

You have a nightmare on your hands, I fear. You are so sweet that I know you will relate with these children in a loving way and hopefully help to make this a great year for all of you. I would be certain to keep a written record of any incidents as well as report them to your head teacher. Set very strong limitations for the entire class and make them abide. If they know you are in charge I know things will be fine. But make certain to keep your head teacher informed of everything.
