I went back and forth about getting lanyards that were bigger for pins, but the one thing we learned last year was that we got hot, sweaty and ichy with the wider ones. It was a tough choice though.
I also really like the ziplock badge holders, but some of them break, so I went back and forth on that too. So many decisions!!
Kelly, as others have said they were perfect. Much more comfortable than the wider lanyards and I liked the open top of the badge holder because I could easily put other things in there (my license, credit card, etc.) Made it really handy!
I really loved having the Mini-Mav to look up those that I needed to chat with and get stuff around the ship as it was.
That was so handy! I carried mine with me every day and made notes in it so I could remember what I did each day!
now you are just making it a walk in the park for us. Monterey is a half day trip stay trip, which means we can go anytime it's that close and easy...
I may have an in for some passes to the aquarium. seems a boy, wilson and a girl, molly have memberships courtsey of their auntie
let's go!
I've been to Monterey and the aquarium only once and I loved it!
Steve,
We're looking into it, though Sukie read somewhere that one would have to be a resident of California, similar to the situation with MA.
Still, we're planning a trip out to DL very soon.
You'll let us all know, right? Maybe Jackie and/or I can come out and see you!
Rumor has it that Tom McAlpin is a lurker.

Interesting!
We went to Alaska 5 years ago on Royal Carribean Radience of the Seas and the pool had a dome over it. It was lovely. I don't know if the kid's pool was closed or what, I can't remembe.....too long ago!
But it was a wonderful trip.....yes, we had to wear light jackets and long pants and shoes and socks when we were on the excursions, but mostly it was nice. The day we were at the glacier was cold, but the crew brought out cocoa, coffee and blankets for us. It was worth it1 And I'd do it again!
That sounds like heaven to me!
Well I hope to get to go to a post meet. With my dumb luck I will have to work. I do know I will be at DL on Friday, next Thursday to preview Toy Story, and the Thursday after that for the opening of Toy Story. Maybe we will run into each other.
I put in for the TS sneak preview for AP and I got drawn for Monday! If it had been later in the week, I might have been able to swing it. There's still a very slight chance that I'll get over there for it, but I'm not counting on it.
I love the "mean" teacher, those are usually the ones that are prepared and ready to help the child(ren) learn. Remember I'm a mean mom too.
Yup, we started it tonight and took Chinese food to the park.
sounds like a great salad, I'll have to look for it, I haven't seen it before.
I find the broccoli slaw in the produce section, where they have the bagged, pre-cut broccoli, cauliflower, etc.
As far as the "mean" teacher thing--wow, some of you guys have had some bad experiences!
Hi guys!!
I am feeling better....but still have a little way to go.
DC has had bad tornados today and tonight. Gretcehn and Annie go to different schools and both schools had to go into "tornado position" or 45 minutes each. In the hallway, on their knees, with their arms over their head. No damage right in Centreville, but 10 miles away people did die!!
I think I heard there are about 1,000,000 people without power in DC Surburban MD and Surburban VA.
Schools in to neighboring counties have already closed for tomorrow. Fairfax County is still open tomorrow at this point.
Hi Lisa, I've been wondering how you're doing, especially after hearing the news today. Thanks for checking in.
I would do both Hawaii and Alaska.
Actually the chatting the other night got me to looking at NCL for a Hawaiian cruise (Pride of America does a Hawaii only trip) and the excursions are very cool, I found several at each port that sounded very cool.

PJ, I did the Pride of Aloha last summer and really enjoyed it. PM me if I can answer any questions.
Yes that would be a lens that has a fixed focal length - no zoom.
The only real issue I had with it is that at 50mm you needed a lot of room to get some "larger" pics as it does have a closer focal length.
By "room" do you mean you sometimes have to physically back up since you can't zoom out with the lens? (I need things in simple terms
)
I think I might have looked like I was avoiding people sometimes, but I was almost always just in a hurry to either chase after Tyler who was way ahead of me and running at top speed, or in a hurry to answer the page from the kids' club asking me to get him out of there, or to rescue Heather or somebody who may have been trying to hold him still for a few minutes. That kid wore me out.
