Tina:  Angie, after you have had your coffee, I need you and Suzanne to start cleaning up the kitchen. Oh, and make sure you have a sweater or jacket with you. You want to carry a small back pack. We might want to put a couple of bottles of water for emergency use if its really hot.

Bette: Okay folks, here are the ground rules. Everyone has a buddy. You go everywhere your buddy goes. And everyone needs to know where the group is generally. You should keep Tina and I in eyesight unless we are in the lady’s room. Be polite to strangers but not overly friendly. Leave any valuables here. Take just some emergency cash, your debit card and your identification. No passports or credit cards or excess cash. I am going to pay for all your food, refreshments and transportation and I might spring for a limited number of souvenirs. If your purse or wallet gets lost, I want the loss to be limited. Suzanne, you are not to spend any of your money on today’s outing.  This is our treat. Margaret and John David, you either. That is unless there is some unforeseen emergency. Now we are going to have several VIP tours. You must stay in the areas where the public is allowed. You must follow our guide’s instructions on those tours. I suggest everyone wear a hat and sunglasses. Now if anyone sees something that is not comfortable or you feel is wrong going on, you will come to me or Tina immediately. If we are not quickly available, go to a park official or a policeman. For example, you see someone getting sick or a parent is disciplining a child in an inappropriate manner or a stranger wants you to go with them some place that is away from the group.  You got that Daniel?  John David?

Daniel: Yes, I understand.

John David:  Oh, yes, my mom told me almost the exact same thing.

Bette: The thing is, you need to be within an arm’s length from your buddy which we are in the park. Okay, when we get there, Margaret, we want to park the cars next to one another. We will take the tram to the park; I’ll pick up our tickets and then we will go to the VIP Entrance where we will get another tram which will take up to the far side of the park and that is where we will start. We will then work our way to the exit which will be close to the parking lots. So, we will do a little riding today. I am in hopes we see as much of the park as possible. We have meals scheduled for lunch and dinner and we will have a refreshment break in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you need an additional one, let me know. And keep us informed when you need a bathroom break or a rest break. This is not supposed to be an endurance contest, but a fun outing for the day. Now, there are going to be things that you young people are going to want to do which we older folks may not be interested in. As long as both buddies agree to the venture, we try to make sure you have an opportunity to do the venture. If one buddy does not what to do it, then you may ask another member of our group to accompany you. And the buddy who does not want to go can stay behind with the rest of the group. We will do something else. We have a full day ahead of us, so you get to do the rides only once. Enjoy it while you are on it. Any questions?
