A few additional points - It surprised me that no one (with the possible exception of the travel agent) was making any money off this cruise. All the organization was done by volunteers, and the speakers paid their own way. I think they found it very rewarding, as did all the participants, because it was a unique chance to meet with other low carbers in a supportive environment. I found sitting down at meals with the other participants to be a new experience. Never before have I been in an environment where EVERYONE is skipping the bread and telling the waiter "no potatoes or rice". It was great! We talked to each other about the various attributes of the food we were eating and exchanged low carb tips. Jimmy had the speakers rotate tables so I was able to talk to most of them at one time or another for an extended period and got to really know them. One of the most interesting experiences I had was sitting between two rival low carb cookbook authors at dinner - that was both exciting and extremely informative! Thanks again, Jimmy! <i>It was fantastic meeting you and your wife on the cruise, Gary! Your passion for livin' la vida low-carb was evident and I look forward to doing more of this kind of networking at future cruises. Take care, my friend! --Jimmy</i> I was on the cruise, and it really was wonderful. A few additional points -

Thank you, Jimmy, and thank you to all the "cruisers" who appeared on the video. The group picture is beautiful. I got a laugh out of Christine's "planet Earth, Milky Way " response. ( sorry she is not feeling well. ) I thought I read somewhere (probably here) that Dana Carpender said that she had gained a few pounds. Yacudafooled me! She looked and sounded fantastic!
