So, I've experienced both ends of the spectrum - starvation and excess.<BR/><BR/>I hope you and your loved ones have a joyful New Year, Lynn.<BR/><BR/>Take good care. :)Harry/JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259374954499772933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-47935230466977071952008-12-31T02:56:00.000-08:002008-12-31T02:56:00.000-08:00Hope you enjoy your trip, Harry.

It was helpful to me to hear that others also are at least a little bothered by the fact that we can't just sit down, eat anything and everything and feel so completely satisfied like before. That behavior has bad consequences, whereas the restrictions we voluntarily put on ourselves have good consequences. The latter is better but a little less satisfying sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-33510098097202596492008-12-30T21:20:00.000-08:002008-12-30T21:20:00.000-08:00Thanks, October!I try to avoid the carb issue too....Thanks, October!<BR/><BR/>I try to avoid the carb issue too. I do sometimes say that I can't eat wheat. When they think it's a allergy situation, they often try harder to make sure a menu item really doesn't have something in it.<BR/><BR/>The trip has been a roller coaster. But it's all good. I think even the rough patches will make for wonderful memories. <BR/><BR/>If I don't get another chance, in the coming days, I wish you and yours a very happy New Year!Harry/JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259374954499772933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630220658398962201.post-59613148046986205052008-12-30T18:30:00.000-08:002008-12-30T18:30:00.000-08:00I've gotten pretty good at discussing menu options...I've gotten pretty good at discussing menu options with the wait staff and having them inquire for me when the chef needs to clarify something ... they have all been very accommodating so far. I just say that I can't have sugar and avoid the carb questions if I can. Even when I say that I'm on a low carb diet though, they've been very gracious and helpful so far. Your menus look so very good. Hope you are having a great trip.~Octhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424560774343634505noreply@blogger.com
