Thanks TaDa for the tip on Cordialle Diabetic bars! I, also am off caffeine, so finding decaf everywhere is good. I, maybe, will order a glass of Guinness here and there, but it's not important to me since I really didn't drink much alcohol pre-Atkins. Re: the car seat, my daughter is about out of her car seat, I'll be getting her a booster car seat in a few days. We'll probably check the booster seat with our luggage. I think we will end up avoiding Chinese food while there, I always retain lots of water, thus end up gaining weight. In fact, we visited my folks this past weekend and had a bit of Chinese food. I am up two lbs. from Friday. Grrrrr.
