We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
OMG! I'm hooked!

AKL was AMAZING - the building, the food, the CMs, all fantastic. Having zebras and giraffes greet me every morning didn't hurt!
We did NOT to online check-in b/c we couldn't - we booked thru Expedia. When we got there around 12, they gave us a room, and it took me a minute to realize it was a 2Q, not the 1K we paid for! Also, I'd called in requests and none were honored. So we went down to the desk with our printout, and after a bit we were moved to a K room on Arusha, Zebra trail (which was what I'd asked for!)
It was HOT HOT HOT - heat index up to 110. But we coped and took afternoon breaks when we were absolutely sweated-out.
Time to start planning 2012~~~!
