You will be able to keep your free dining, as long as you don't change your dates.
I was told by the CM on the phone the other day that I was lucky to have booked before they changed the dates.
Bumping up a day still fell inside the new dates so all was good.
I bet there will be some disapointed folks who didn't book right away and will loose out.
Funny how a day can change everything.
There was even a difference in price of the flights between Thurs & Fri.
Glad you booked it when you did, so you'll have the free dining! Be positive...all your trips have happened in the past!
I am happy to hear that. I think this one can happen if someone can go with me. I am hoping maybe Jill and the girls can go for a long weekend, but if not, then hopefully Kay can. She loves F&G, too. I haven't talked to her in a few weeks, but I have texted with her briefly about the possibility. She said maybe she can. Of course, I would very much want Jill to go, as well, so maybe that will work out for at least a few days of the trip. Bella's birthday is that week, so I plan to come back to get ready for that. We're still 'guiding' her toward Little Mermaid or Nemo. She said Ariel once, but most of the time she is saying 'Memo'. I hope John can carve a big old shark out of wood with his new little saw.
MeMom you would make the best AK CM ever! When Danielle has her class at the AK in Feb I'm going to tell her to pay special attention so we can report back to you on what your new job requirements will be..
The one time we were at the Conservation Station for some real animal interaction we got there too late and ended up all the way in the back and couldn't see anything.
Kudos to y'all for getting to experience this up close.
Just go ahead and sign me up while you are there! I don't think I'm going to last much longer here.
I would love being happy in my work again.
We've seen some neat things - the best one being the tiger.
Love the vet pics. One time we went there and they were operating on a turtle that was struck by a car and had a cracked shell. They were so tender and loving, just as you said, speaking with the turtle even though he/she was heavily sedated. The only word I could use to describe our state as we stood there and watched was MESMERIZED. So much so, that when we finally broke our stare, we realized we had been watching and chatting with the vet who had come out to explain for about 45 minutes. It is such an amazing experience, I would never wish harm on any animal but I hope we get a chance to see this again in October.
I happen to be doing my evaluation next week on a book about turtles, so I dreamed about them last night.
I dreamed that I went to our camp and there were about 5-6 of them there by the door just waiting for me to take them and show the kids.
In reality, I bought two plastic tortoises at Michael's yesterday on the way home, and I have one rubberish sea turtle already at school. Unless I can find someone who owns a turtle who will let me borrow it for the day, plastic and rubber will be as good as it gets.
I was in awe of the tiger we saw being treated on one visit. To see it that close and to really realize how huge those paws were was incredible. The people who work there genuinely love those animals.
I hope you get to see something happening in October, too. You'll have to send me a picture.
Love the AK pics. It is so cool to see the animal exams. I just love animals. I really thought my boys did not like animals for a long time. They have really started to like animals now. We go to the zoo often. Of course, their favorite animal is Buttercup, a 23 foot long, 220lb reticulated python.
Mommy's worst nightmare. I have a severe, irrational fear of snakes! Cooper wants to visit every one. It kills me.
I don't have any fear of snakes, although I don't want to come across one unexpectedly in the woods or anything.
My severe, irrational fear would be finding myself in a very small cage with one.
With how I might act in a small cage, the snake would be trying to find a way to get away from me!
I have to thank you...I was bracing myself for a snake pic...and you spared me..
It so nice to see the care they have with the animals. Very cool to see a kangaroo so close.
My DMom has a question...do they take your pic and put it on your annual pass?
We were just laughing (together) at her unflattering drivers liscence pic.
She really needs to go and have that pic taken again...
No snake pictures this time. Big fat toads, instead.
No picture is on an AP.
Unless you look a lot like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc.
Poor Bella looks exhausted waiting for the kangaroo! However, it looks like it was worth the wait. I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel awful for the poor kangaroo. But I'm sure it was very interesting to see. I've never seen a kangaroo in real life!
It was worth the wait. Now we can say we have seen a kangaroo on an operating table. I doubt most people can say that. Do you make it to Rafiki's to watch these procedures?
We say it at school all the time, it's so ridiculous it has to be a joke, yet it's not.
The video was made by someone in the know, for sure.
The people in the know should be the ones actually making up the rules, too. Unfortunately, it's people who never are in a classroom who make the rules.
That was so sad it was funny. I feel for you. Working for the government I can totally understand.
Kind of feels like this...
It is a true mess. If I can make it five more years, I will take early retirement and find something else. Our school used to be an enjoyable place to be. There was laughter and the morale was good. We have had dips in morale during certain phases, but nothing like this. This is more than a dip, and we're going to lose some really good teachers soon because of it.
Your TR's always make me want to spend even more money on souvenirs! 
very sad.
I have to tell you that it isn't often that something makes me laugh to the point of tears but this did. My DH thought I had lost my mind and came in here and asked me what the heck was I doing on the internet! 
) I love the picture of sleepy Bella having a lay down whilst waiting for the kangaroo's arrival. A day at a Disney park is hard work!!Brooklynn has some wonderfully named stuffed animals.How does she remember the names of them all?
