Well I've got a list but it's not alphbetized, so I don't think I should post it.

I have a list that I would be glad to e-mail to you. There is one on cruise diva dot com, and Calgon has a list. Do a search for his.

 

You must remember, though, that those 2 lists are VERY comprehensive, and you will need to adjust them for yourself.

 

Have fun planning!
