Fantastic change, Amy! And you're right, this trip is a perfect one to stay at a resort that isn't in the midst of the park frenzy. It'll be so nice to come home each night after exploring for an apartment and be entertained and fed without leaving home.

You seem to live vicariously through many reports....seems I had to call someone so they could hear "sweet Caroline" on my last trip I'm not calling this trip so you can hear the yak moo.

Thanks all for the wonderful comments.....I love comments....make lots of them...bombard the report with them!

Let me know your reading I need to know I'm loved ok enough begging... Off to find some more Audience Participation!
