Andrea, thanks! Glad you had a great time on Fjords. I bet it was an absolute blast. I enjoyed reading all the SeaMail. As for the weight, it probably is mostly water. They love to really salt that food on cruises, not to mention that the alcohol does tend to make your retain water as well! Not that I would know! LOL

That is too bad about the equipment. We are going to be on the Voyager on CROSS. With eight sea days, I was hoping to get lots of use out of the gym. I'm just curious, but what equipment were they having problems with?

Good job getting back with it. I have no doubt that you will make your goal by the time you leave for Italy! You have real dedication!
