Fishies!

We had a Go decision yesterday. Now, that doesn't mean we won't go it just means we're allowed to go providing nothing doesn't happen. All systems are NOT Go but most systems are. All must be go before we go. Got it?

Anyway, today was our project team's "Appreciation Day" and we all were taken for a most-expenses-paid trip to Sea World. I haven't been to Sea World in, ahem, 24 years by my calculation. It's very nice but rather small. I'm surprised how expensive it is given how there's not much more than a full day's stuff to do there. I didn't go on any rollercoasters except the little Shamu ride - I was not feeling well (exhaustion I think). I wanted to ride Kraken but I wasn't up to it given my illness.

Here's an aerial view of Kraken - can ya blame me? Davy Jones or not?



The old favorite is still my favorite - the Shark Encounter. It's a lot schnazzier than I recall it being before. Essentially it's a big tube running underwater taking you through a shark tank. It's still an awesome view to see them swimming around you, beside you and over you.



It's hard to get decent photos of the toothy fish but this one didn't turn out too bad -




And then this rather ominous one as well - makes me want to shiver and say "MUFASA!"
Though that would be silly since Mufasa obviously wasn't a shark. I should say with an Aussie accent, "Bruce!"



The evening closed with a lovely Luau with the entire team and their families taking up virtually the whole place. It was great to see everyone together and having a good time. And now, I'm ready for bed and a day spent sitting around doing nothing tomorrow.. Rest, at last.
