Hi Karissa, I am doing the Cali trip also. Sea Cucumbers feel so weird, when I first touched I didn't expect them to feel that way. lol it's so cool how they can throw up their insides, sounds totally gross but kinda interesting.

Pam Rubin said… - Thanks, Erika. Writing for NOAA is a great job b/c I get to learn about all kinds of topics related to the ocean realm and all of its wonders. It's also challenging to translate scientific and technical info into stories that nonscientists want to read!

- HAHA that's awesome!
I know this trip is coming fast. And it will be even faster for me because Im going to the Keys this coming Wednesday. So I've been getting ready for that. Its going to be mild insanity. Spending 9 hours on a bus load of like 50 ppl, I might just shoot myself.
But other than that, Ive been volunteering a lot. A parent of one of the campers brought by the baby tigers she was taking care of. There were 3 of them and one was 8 days old. It's rare that I say the word cute, but OMG THEY WERE SO CUTE!! lol.
