. . Hi Everyone! I am looking for a roommate for the OH Hawaiian Cruise November 5-12. At the top of the main Obesity Help message board, there's a whole thread about the Hawaiian Cruise. An information packet on the cruise can be found here: danthetravelman.com/obesity-help-travel/ObesityHelp-Hawaii-Welcome-Packet-2006.pdf I found the Norwegian Cruise Lines site very helpful, as since it gives information about the ship, the shore excursions and tons of other things! I checked out Norwegian Cruise Lines' website, and here's a website about "our" ship - the Pride of Aloha: ncl.com/fleet/pal That will give you an idea of what the ship is like, AND at what a GREAT Deal that Dan and the people at OH are giving us!!!! MUCH lower than the prices listed on the NCL site!! It also has a sample list of shore excursions for all the stops the ship makes -- wow, I can't wait, and I am so very glad I booked the $899 inside cabin, so I can spend the rest of the money on the shore excursions!!! I was thinking of getting an oceanview w/balcony room, but heck - I won't be in the room that much, and I'd rather spend that extra $700-$800 on the shore excursions!!!! This is going to be a WONDERFUL trip!! I took my Dad to Hawaii in 2002 -- he was a WWII Veteran, and lost his best friend on the Arizona. He always wanted to visit the Arizona Memorial, but my Mother would never fly over the ocean. So, after she passed in 2001, I booked a trip to take him to Hawaii for 10 days! We had a WONDERFUL time, and I still treasure those memories of my time spent there with him. He passed away May 5, 2005, just a month after my surgery. I sure wish he could see me now, down 120 pounds. I know he'd be proud.

Deborah.... You are my angel. I live in the BOWIE area. I live on by Mt. Oak Rd. I just printed out the schedule for Sports Fit. But I am back at work now so I was planning to go on the weekends, and evenings. Are you home on leave or blessed enough to be a stay at home wife/mother. Please email me. I am 6 1/2 weeks out. I'm so excited and hope to hear from you SOON. Oh, I'm just seeing this email was posted last year. So I'm very late.
