Our plane finally arrived at the gate, and all the passengers who were on it got off. She said that whoever volunteered FIRST would get three hundred dollars and a free night at the airport hotel.

I just hope she enjoys spending my money. After the crew got on board, they started letting passengers on the plane. My family got to go first, because they let people with young kids board before anyone else.

But the gate agent stopped me at the door. When I got on board, I was pretty impressed. The seats were a LOT bigger than I expected, and they were covered in real leather. I asked Mom what row we were in, but she said we needed to keep moving. The seats were packed together, and they barely had any cushioning. Mom said our seats were toward the middle of the plane, so we headed there. But Dad hung back in the first-class section.

Dad sat down in his seat, and we went to find ours. The rest of us were all in the same row. All the other passengers boarded after us, and people seemed pretty stressed trying to get their stuff into the overhead bins. So I was glad they took MY bag at the gate. Everyone put away their bags and sat down in their seats. The pilot made an announcement that the doors were closing, and the seats to my left and right were still empty. But right before the doors closed, one more couple got on board.

And they had a BABY with them. See, if I were in charge of the airline, the rule would be one person per seat. I asked these parents if one of them wanted to switch seats with me so they could be next to each other. But the mother said she liked the window, and her husband said he liked to be on the aisle.

Everybody else completely tuned out. The beginning of the video was just basic stuff, like how to fasten a seatbelt. I thought the whole point of an airplane was that it was supposed to stay in the AIR. The safety video said there were emergency exits on the plane and the people sitting in the exit rows would need to open the doors so everybody could get out.

So I got them to put down their magazines and listen up. The video showed the plane in the water with inflatable slides coming off the emergency exits.

And they actually made it look FUN. Now I had questions, so I pressed the button above my seat to get the flight attendant to come over. What I wanted to know was, if we landed in shark-infested waters, would it really be such a good idea to blow the whistle?

But a few seconds later, the plane started rolling down the tarmac, and the next thing I knew, we were in the AIR. Once we leveled off, the couple sitting in my row started feeding their baby. Somehow I managed to get through the feeding without throwing up. After the lady cleaned it up, she reached into her bag and gave the baby a couple of toys to play with.

It turns out nobody likes a crying baby on a plane, and everyone started shooting us dirty looks. Luckily, the lady had a bottle in her bag, and that quieted the kid down for a while. I was getting kind of hungry myself, so I pressed the button for the flight attendant and asked when we could expect to get FED.

But he said meals were only for first-class passengers, and he gave me a bag of peanuts to hold me over. The guy behind me had taken off his shoes and socks and slid his feet through the spaces between the seats. I was starting to feel boxed in, and then the person in the seat in front of me tilted his seat all the way back, so it was just a few inches from my face.

The movie looked like a comedy, but my headphones were in my bag, and it was hard to understand what was going on without them. I changed the channel to see what ELSE there was to watch. One channel had a show for little kids, and the baby next to me got interested in what was on my screen. And the colors on the show were so bright that even when I put on the eye mask that was in the seat pocket, I could STILL see everything that was happening.

When the show finally ended, the baby started crying again. But there was no WAY I was gonna keep watching the show on repeat for the rest of the night. So I decided it was the perfect time to take my shift up in first class. When Mom and Manny came back to their seats, I saw the door to the cockpit open behind them, and the pilot stepped out. He said the pilot just needed to stretch his legs and use the bathroom, and the co-pilot had everything under control. I guess the idea is that if one of them has a heart attack, then the other one is supposed to fly the plane.

Once the pilot got out of the bathroom, I figured it would be a good idea for me to go, too. It was sort of like a tiny little apartment I had all to myself. I think the guy was hoping to sell it for a lot of money, but once the thing thawed he found out what he had was totally worthless. Then they went away. But then the pilot came over the intercom. I guess the flight attendant could see that I was pretty rattled. The flight attendant told me I needed to return to my seat and buckle up.

But when I got back there, it was already occupied. One of the wheels on the beverage cart had broken because of the turbulence, and it was blocking my way. I was out of options, so I went back to my seat. But when I stepped off the plane, it was like walking into a whole new world. And the seats in this thing were nicer than the ones in first class. The video showed all the cool activities at the resort, and I wanted to do them ALL. I felt kind of bad for being so negative about this trip up until then, and I turned around to tell Mom and Dad I was sorry.

But I wish I had just kept watching the video instead. When we stepped off the bus at the resort, the staff greeted us and handed Mom and Dad frozen drinks. We went to the front desk, and the lady there explained how everything worked. So she showed us where our building was on the map. Usually when my family stays at a hotel, we all share a room, and I have to sleep on a cot or a sofa bed.

We all had to share one bathroom, but me and Rodrick each had our own BED, which was the main thing. The shower in the bathroom was HUGE, and all the floors and sinks and everything were made of marble. It looked kind of like a river and had all these islands in the middle of it.

I was pretty excited about that, because I knew we had the same thing on OUR side of the resort. I wanted to go check it out, but first I needed to change my clothes. It turns out we had accidentally grabbed the wrong suitcase from baggage claim at the airport. Before it was too late, Dad called the airline to see if they still had OUR suitcase.

My flip-flops and sunglasses were in the big bag, along with a bunch of other things I had packed. Dad said they sell the stuff we were missing at the resort store, so we went down to check it out.

Mom said we could wear the same clothes every day and wash them ourselves. So the only thing we bought in there was a bottle of sunscreen and a toy pail and shovel for Manny to use at the beach.

And later on in life, all my friends are gonna wish THEY had, too. But I guess a lot of people had the exact same idea. I was really looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub until I saw it. We found a few lounge chairs in the shade and put our stuff down. You could tell it was the middle of winter, because just about everyone looked out of shape, just like me.

Every once in a while, I think about exercising and getting really buff. The pool was too crowded to go swimming, so I decided to just put a towel over my head and catch up on some sleep.

Even though it was hot out, there was a nice breeze, and I started to drift off. But right in the middle of my nap, some guy showed up and ruined the whole vibe. He told all us kids to line up at the edge of the pool, and then he started tossing giant handfuls of cash into the water. Everyone waited along the edge for the Director of Fun to blow his whistle.

I managed to get about two dollars in coins on my first dive, and I put them at the edge of the pool near my lounge chair. But some sneaky kid swooped in and cleaned me out. When it was all over, I think I ended up with about three bucks in change. After the kids cleared out of the pool, I figured it was a good time to get in the water and go for a relaxing swim.

But then I heard some rustling in the bushes behind me, and all of a sudden I was face-to-face with something that looked like it came straight from Jurassic Park. Then he said that sometimes the iguanas even like to go for a dip in the pool. My feeling on giant lizards is that they should be in a ZOO, not mingling with us human beings.

But the outdoor thing ended up being a problem. Manders C , August 6 Personal interview. Brooks, Interviewer Google Scholar. McDermid S , February 27 16 Common questions about fundraising.

Raffinose is a complex carbohydrate. It is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, fructose, and glucose. It can be found in beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables, and whole grains.

D-GAL also hydrolyzes other D-galactosides such as stachyose, verbascose, and galactinol [1-O- D-galactosyl -myoinositol], if present. The enzyme does not cleave linked galactose, as in lactose. Thus, raffinose can be broken down into galactose and sucrose via the enzyme alpha-galactosidase. Human intestines do not contain this enzyme. Raffinose is a trisaccharide occurring in Australian manna from Eucalyptus spp, Myrtaceae and in cottonseed meal.

Value Source 6g-alpha-D-Galactosylsucrose. Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligosaccharides.
