    Hi Everyone,

    I promise pictures and news after I get settled and unpacked. What a thrill it was for me to meet those of you who came on the cruise.

    Thank you all for handling things for me while I was away.

    I took everyone's advice, and NOT ONCE, not one single time during the cruise did I go NEAR a computer to check on the website. (I was too busy eating!)

    Welcome "home." Look forward to hearing about the cruise, friends, behaviors, food, seminars. Say, are cats allowed on cruises? HA

    Good to *hear* our fearless leader's voice :) and know you had a good time - need details when you've got yourself all settled back into routine.

    The *elves* you left in charge did a GREAT job and none have gone missing in action ..... LoL !!!!

    Welcome home! I hope it was wonderful. Very good that you actually took time off from the site. Now that's a vacation.

    Joan,

    Welcome back. I hope you took some bikini pics. Can you post a list of users that went on the cruise? How many of you went? I have been knee deep in trying to get my husband's depakote and seroquel adjusted for placement in an assisted living facility so I have not been checking the website too much while you were gone. I hope you had a wonderful time.

    Hi Everyone,

    Never did get the unpacking done yesterday. That is what I am going to do now, and then I will write a blog about the cruise. I put all of the pictures from my camera and Sid's into the computer last night. I had a couple of Mary and me together and Dee and me together. I know Mary and Countrygirl have more. Countrygirl has at least two of us together. They will have to e-mail them to me for me to get them up on my site. I think Mary said something about taking video of my talk with her cell phone.

    Although the food was excellent, I weighed myself (AACCKKK!) this morning and did not gain any weight. I know that was because the ship was quite large, and everytime I walked (and walked and walked) to find something, I found myself at the wrong end, so I had to walk (and walk and walk) all the way to the other end. This went on for 5 days, so I'm assuming that helped keep the weight steady.

    Anyway, I can only give you my perspective of the cruise in the blog that will be written after the unpacking is done. When the others get settled, I hope they will come on line and give you their perspectives. I will say that there was plenty of emotional support available, as both of my social workers facilitated support groups, as did Patrick, who is a social worker, and Dr. Teena Cahill, who gave the welcoming address, is a clinical psychologist, and she generously offered her help when needed.

    So here I go to unpack and do laundry.

    Sorry, no bikini pictures. No bikinis, at least not on this girl. I never even got into a bathing suit, because I was so busy with other things. The Monday blog is now up with only a few sample pictures. I am waiting for the others to send theirs.
