Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Kathy, I took this field trip with my son (he was in 5th grade) three years ago and it was wonderful.? You and your daughter will have a blast!? There is REAL coffee in the Curry Village cafeteria every morning (it's just not Starbuck's quality).? It's great you can be in the cabin at night with your daughter -- since I'm a mom, I had to bunk with the girls while my son was with the guy chaperones -- but we still had lots of fun.? Take bottled water and make sure you keep yourself hydrated during the day, as the altitude and the exercise will take it out of you and the likely first sign you are getting dehydrated will be a headache (this nearly did me in). Have fun, Lee in CA PS -- The communal bathrooms and showers will be good exposure exercises! We're off Hi all, We take off in the morning for our Yosemite trip.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Kathy, have a wonderful time. Praying here for a safe and enjoyable trip. I got a chuckle out of what you said. It brought to mind years ago, when my younger sister and I decided we were going to get in shape by jogging. I was running down the road, determined. . . And she was trotting behind me with a cigarette in one hand and a can of Pepsi in the other. A friend of ours drove by and saw her. He slammed on his brakes and backed up, laughing. Looking back, it was kind of funny. Wouldn't you know, she was always the skinny one though. <smirk> Let us know when you are back, and how it went. Enjoy!!!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Have fun Kathy! You sound like me with the coffee and I smoke too. I think the lack of coffee would be worst in the a.m. 's OCD used to get worse when he was excited about things. Joei will probably settle down a bit once she's at Yosemite. Again, have fun!! > > Hi all, > > We take off in the morning for our Yosemite trip. Wouldn't ya know her > anxiety and her thoughts have been off the hook the last couple of days.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Kathy, I hope you and your daughter have a fan-tabulous time! It sounds terrific! For me, I'd have to have a Diet Pepsi machine close at hand! And hiking?? I will be with you in spirit; thank goodness not in person!
