Yes Kathy, congrats on the good start to your renewed weight-loss push! I've begun exercising, am upping my walking considerably, and am watching what I eat.

OT for this thread:

I'm sure we'll cross paths again, no fear. I know we want to go to Tahiti again, if we can. But I also know that we will probably go back to Europe in some form in 2008, again, if we can (i.e., god willing, if I believed in god.) I was musing about Oceania, looking at the itineraries for 2007, weighing the downsides: looks interesting on balance, but who knows?

WAVE was really the perfect cruise, wasn't it? I would gladly do that itinerary, or a similar one, again, since there's so many different things to do in each port. The 2007 version has the ports changed slightly, so that, for example, you're in La Coruna for the day, so you can go off independently. It also has Cadiz added (for Seville), and has dropped Santander.

We also have friends who spend part of their year in Crete, so who knows, we may visit them!
