FIELD TRIP TO Aquarium! Sunday April 24th @ 5:45pm

[Xtasia]

Hi Gang,

FYI for Sunday April 24th: Vancouver Aquarium Behind the Scenes Tour.

ITINERARY

4:00
Early Dinner @ Great Wall Mongolian Grill (717 Denman).
$10.95 All You Can Eat. This is not included in the $11 fee.
I need a RSVP for this as not everyone wants to eat first. Just call 604-317-3699 and leave a msg.

6:00
Settle Bills and Drive to Vancouver Aquarium.

6:15
Meet at the Aquarium Main Entrance. Look for me (Tall Asian Girl), or a group of People dressed in Red Fleece Vests (our guides).

They usually have a volunteer lead the tour, but b/c we are so *special* we are getting Aquarist, Jen Reynolds. She’s excited by our visit and interested in all our technical questions.

As the behind the scenes area is slippery and full of metal grating, we are asked to wear comfortable walking shoes without a heel (Runners preferred). So gentlemen, no high heels this time ;P)

8:00
Tour Ends.
Some people will depart to catch their ferries or take their children home.
All others can go for Coffee.

AQUARIUM TOUR SALE!

The Denman Pet Boutique [683 Denman St.] has generously extended a special discount for all participants of the Aquarium Tour. If you are coming on the tour, you can expect details on this deal in your mail boxes.

REGARDING PARKING

Rikko has also offered FREE use of their parking on Denman and Alberni so you can park your car there while we’re having dinner, and touring the aquarium. Lot closes at 10pm, but we will be done before then.

** Confirmation Changes were made to the original post.

Jaws: If we do the BBQ we'll start it at 2:00 and then we'll finish the night @ 7:30ish after the tour, unless people want to go for coffee after... If the weather is poor, we'll skip the BBQ and just do dinner somewhere after and it should be done by 9:00. Last ferry is at 10 right?

Shadow, Willow. Done.

[Rikko]

Flag me down as a go with one guest as well. My girlfriend and I work Sundays until 5:00 so dinner won't be possible but the aquarium tour is just going to work. Was this a behind the scenes tour or just a guided wander through the exhibits?

I'll see what my schedule is like but I might just have to PayPal you the cash - my days off are weekdays so arranging a time to meet up might be a pain. Or I could mail you a cheque if you like.. If it bounces you can have any coral at the store!

[Jaws]

Sounds good. My girlfriend and I will both be there.

[Xtasia]

I need 6 more people to pay so I can put the down payment to the aquarium to book the venue.

I'll be home all Sunday I live by King Eds/J&L, so just drop by, pay me and then go to to the LFSs.. cmon you know you are going to go there anyways :P

[Zerandise]

I have the cash for you just dont drive. If anyone else is headed out your way I can give it to them or go with them. Maybe when we head out to J&L willow? thats sunday right?

[Jason McK]
