Now. looking at the challenges that this selection represents it seems
logical to entertain some alternatives as well so the committee is
currently investigating and will propose a couple of options in
addition to this preference set for further consideration.

I'd love to hear what you have to say about some ideas which may mix up
1st and 2nd place preferences or some such cruise.

I expect to have some committee input in the next day.

^^^ A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated thusfar! ^^^

Since the votes were so close for the "time frame" and for the
"itins.", I think the committee could work with the first and the
"second" choices. As far as the cruise line goes, if nothing works
with the first choice, take a look at the second choice and see what
happens.

Sue, this is a good suggestion, IMHO. Since there were
variables of line, itinerary and time, a clear cut "winner"
in each category might really not reflect the abilities of
people who want to go on a GGC. With a second choice,
reflecting the runner up categories, a second round of
balloting might gain more GGC participants, since it would
be clear cut about what the cruise would be,
