Galapagos and TAM 5.5

Just letting BABloggees know that Randi has announced that there is a cabin that has opened up on the Galapagos cruise next year (scroll to the very bottom). And yes, that would be this cruise to the Galapagos.

Also, there is still room to go to The Amaz!ng Meeting 5.5 in January in Florida. Stay tuned, for news of TAM 6 will be arriving eventually as well…

    Yea! I work it tourism. Every year I said, next January I’ll be free to go to TAM. This year they moved it to June,our second busiest month. Well, I say, I’ll still get to go to 5.5. It wont be a few hours away in Vegas, but I’ll spring for the air fare.

    Then Alice tells me she’s having surgery in January. Nothing serious (as if any surgery could be trivial) and so its off my to do list again.

    And now I feel like a jerk for being disappointed. I’m gonna go ask that therapist for my money back.

    I’d go to the Amazing Meeting, but not for $200.00.
