Are you planning on calling for the shuttle pick up from the ship or waiting til you get off?

Are you headed to Peggy's Cove???

We are going to call when we get off the ship my Dad will have a scooter so it will be easier to get a shuttle than walk. We are planing on going to Peggy's cove

I looked at the times for the tides in saint johns and I don't think we will be there to see the reversing water. There is a visitors center that has a video of it. When we figured at out, we decided to go to the floral rock formations instead.

Does anyone know if the Magic has been upgraded like the Wonder to have the Cove Cafe? I'm just curious to find out. I have not been on the Magic since '08. I've been on the Wonder a lot more.

The Magic does not have the enlarged Cove Cafe, it is just on deck 9 like the original one on the Wonder.

Thanks....that's good to know. I'll get my favorite table at Signals back. I'm so happy.

I like the enlarged Cove Cafe, but I miss my table which is now gone on the Wonder. I'm going straight there upon boarding. I'm excited now!

I think it's the familiarity of knowing the name that makes people more likely to interact with the dog. Most people know not to talk to/play with/touch a strange dog, but if you know the name, the dog's not a stranger, right?

The key is just to ignore the dog and not interact in any manner.

My mom's dog is from The Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ.

I'm an owner of a long haired shepherd....currently on my second one....so I'm partial to the breed. I'm so glad you explained that we should not speak to the dog. I would have been all over the dog, had I not known. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm curious, is it the name or the familiarity of knowing the name that causes people to want to speak to the dog?

My job involves working with parents who have infants and toddlers with disabilities. At a recent training session, we invited a family who had graduated from our training project and had recently received a service dog from Guiding Eyes for the Blind Heeling Autism Program. It was very hard to resist the urge to talk or touch this remarkable dog, and I think in addition to knowing the name, people are drawn to how smart and special they are.

The dogs trained for the Heeling Autism Program are required to protect the child by preventing them from 'bolting' which is a serious problem for many children with autism. But similar to all animals trained to work with children or adults with disabilities or sensory impairments, they are 'working' and distractions can prevent them from doing the job they are trained to do.

The Guide Dog Foundation has a wonderful "Etiquette" sheet they have developed of dos and don'ts when around service animals.

Got mostly packed today, except for the last-minute items that can't go in until Thurs. Starting to feel very real now. Just two more full days of work before I get to leave on Thurs. Very excited.

I have to laugh at all this packing talk. I still haven't unpacked from flying home from FL last week. But that suitcase needs to go back to FL so I'm not worried. But I just remembered I think I have some clothes in there that need to go with me. I guess I better unpack it.
