Gerry,

Have a great time. It's good to get "un-wound", particularly after all the work you've done with the snail drum mag springs!

p.s. Seeing these animals in captivity may not be something we can--or should- do for very much longer. The more we learn about these mammals, the clearer it becomes that it is very bad for their health and longevity to be penned up in a limited environment. They pay a big price for us to see them jumping through hoops, etc.
