Alisa.........send these to the links thread..........they really need to be there as well..........GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More fru's to you later.

the links thread? huh? can you fill me in? i'm not sure what your talking about. I have a whole page full of links for the Med as well.

Let me find it

Go to the cruise resources bar at the right side of the menu bar..........

Click on the appropriate category and submit the link for approval by CLF......follow the prompts once you select your category. If you need help come back and I'll see what i can do to help you.

Only problem is you will have to submit each one...........one at a time......but it would certainly benefit our links site for people wanting information.

I would do several a day or you could spend hours doing that with all the links and info you have...............

Jim
