My sister is doing all the planning. I'm just along for the ride. Plus the true-up check at the end of the trip. I wonder if the hot-dog sized millipede is still alive at the Omaha zoo. Maybe it will be the son of hot dog millipede.
Please add whoever I've missed!

Couldn't have happened for a nicer masters guy... And one who manages to combine highly competitive swimming & a super positive life focus.
Can't wait to watch him swim!
