Shannon's Testimonial

Hello Everyone,

I thought that I would add my thoughts on the trip as well. Even though I did not get to see an octoptus as I was promised, and aside from the fact that I was a little sea sick, I had a blast!!

The Eels are simply an outstanding group of people who know how to have a good time. I do believe that we have redefined the word "disabled." Every time we go on a trip I am amazed at what we do (and sometimes probably should not do, but Oh well). I can tell everyone that I know that I went to the top of a Myan Ruin, and their jaws drop (O.K., so

coral formations.

I had a little help from Davin - Thank You Davin for not dropping me, Ha Ha). Not to mention, the little things, like laying out at the pool on an air mattress, I have not done that (the air mattress) since high school (Thank you Sherri for bringing the air mattress and Thank you Jody for blowing it up and flipping me over from time to time, so that I could bake evenly on both sides).

Shannon -
a very happy
mom-to-be!

Every member of the Eels is so amazing because of how they simply help one another, no complaints and no questions asked. I have never met a group of people who are so selfless and simply want to help others have fun and try knew things. Every year I look forward to a week of solid laughs and a few hundred jokes about being "the little one." Ha Ha!! I already cannot wait for the next trip, and some get togethers before the next trip.
