AABCS was empowering, uplifting, informative but most of all enjoyable and I was honored to have been apart of it.

| Many thanks for a wonderful trip and the opportunity to connect with other authors and the fabulous book clubs! The cruise was culturally enriching as well as fun.
All best wishes,
- Joyce Carol Thomas, 2001 Participating Author |
I've checked out the photos and it's nice to re-live the trip. Can't believe I didn't bring my camera! You really did an outstanding job. I've told everyone how professionally organized everything was. And that makes a REAL difference. You set high standards.

| I am also still on cloud 9 1/2. There was such a positive energy every single day and like you guys said, I have been talking it up to every one I know. Its something that every book lover should be apart of at least once in their life.
Forever...

| My "Thanks" to everyone involved in the cruise planning. I had a most excellent time!!!!!! I plan to attend in 2002 and to bring more friends. I am really grateful to your choice of Tannanrive Due and her husband. I don't think I would have ever been exposed to her except by accident. Again, thanks for a wonderful, enlightening and down- right fun time.
