Donna - can't believe it's only 2 weeks till your cruise!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Well, when I met you, you didn't look like you had any weight to lose (the 3 lbs or more). But I know what you mean about the portions creeping up. That truly is my biggest problem. What I used to eat years ago now seems like teeny, tiny portions. I've got to get my mind wrapped around the idea that those tiny portions are the proper size!!! We CAN do it!!!

Michele - you're leaving for your cruise in 5 days??? Can't believe it is almost here!!!! I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it. Is your path going to cross Kathy & Frank's? If I'm not mistaken, you'll be there about the same time or at least close to it. Small world when you travel!!

Kathy - which day are you leaving for Italy? You are counting the days now. I'm with Don - wish I could go too. Even though it has been over 30 years since I've been to Italy, it is still one of my very favorite places!!! You are going to have a wonderful trip!!!

Don - how many days for you & Diana? Very soon!! Can't wait to hear your reports on it.

Something is wrong with this post - I'm not going anywhere!!! :( :( :( You'll all have to have fun for me too!!!!!
