[Jennifer48]

Aunt Jo,

Thank you very much for sharing your trip report. I loved reading about your experience. Its great to hear it from others perspective/point of view.

Congratulations on booking your 2nd Disney cruise. You are now hooked!

I hope that I can be has happy and healthy as you and your husband are.

Good luck to posting pictures! I know I'm excited to see them!

I really loved your report! I truly did.
You are such a sweet lady and it was wonderful to see the cruise thru your eyes.
I'm always proud to be a Texan but I'm a little bit more proud to hear you hail from here also.

Mary (and Glenn, too!)--
Aaron and I read your report together when we were at the Beach Club--with smiles on our faces and in our hearts. You are so sweet...We want you to know that you made our cruise very special as well. You and Glenn are wonderful people that we were so happy to meet and spend a little time with. We thought of you and both swore we saw you two several times when we were at WDW after the cruise! Glenn must have been busy counting as soon as you got back home if you have already booked! I'll have you know, Aaron had me look up pricing as soon as he read that--I don't think he wants you to go without him!
I have pictures to email to you as soon as I get them off of the camera.
You did a great job on your trip report. I'm so glad you did it!!! You are just as sweet as your report sounds--
Susie

Okay guys, now I'm all teary eyed and Glenn is the emotional one. I'm sure he will cry tears of happiness when he reads Susie's post. I hope this won't be considered a personal message because I am so happy all of you could read this happy ending to my report.

Must confess, I was never a true believer in pixie dust until we went on this cruise.

Will be in touch by email, Susie.

AuntJo, I have been reading this trip report all along and I have to say it was great. I am so glad you and Glenn had this opportunity and shared it with all of us. It's so nice to know that the world is filled caring people and that includes you. May God Bless You!

Aunt Jo,
We were also on your sailing, and I can't help but feel as though we missed out on something very special by not crossing paths with you and Glenn.

I'm sure that you blessed others equally as much as you were blessed by them.
I know I've been touched just from reading your trip report.

Best Wishes to you and Glenn as you look forward to your next cruise! I'll certainly look forward to reading that report as well

p.s. Also, thank you to Glenn for his service to our country, and to you for supporting him, and
CONGRATULATIONS on so many years of marriage!​

I LOVED your trip report!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I found it last night and read the first page and I picked it up again this morning around 6:30. In between getting the kids ready, I managed to read the rest by 8:15 and still got them on the bus in time! I hope DH and I are still crusing in our 70s and 80s. It gives us something to look foward to. Enjoy your next cruise!!!

--Michelle et al

PS Susie and Aaron...we could be you...also have 4 kids and would LOVE to get away for 4 days on DCL by ourselves! Glad you managed to get away and recharge your batteries!

Aunty Jo and Glenn,

You are my inspiration. What a wonderful TR. You are a terrific writer and I laughed at every post. I am so glad you shared your experiences.

Please consider sending a copy to the people at DCL in Celebration (guest communications). We know DCL reads the DIS boards but I don't know if they read all the trip reports.

Great report and your description of the lemonade and oatmeal cookies just sounded wonderful! I'm so glad you booked another cruise.

You and Glenn are truley an inspiration. You have given me great hope and many ideas for how to make our Panama Cruise next year the memory of a lifetime for my parents.

Wonderful wonderful trip report.......

Just wonder if any body else will admit to crying while they read it?

PLEASE KEEP IT COMING.....
These things are like miniature movies to me! cant wait for the rest!

 

[Aunt Jo]

This TR may never end if you folks keep egging me on. I have printed the entire report along with your comments and it will be in my Scrapbook which I finally got started on this morning. I have done one page and it's a real TA DAH! I hope to be able to show some of my pictures and pages when my neice can come help me.

Glenn is still smiling and happily helping me plan our December cruise. I am so happy that he is so happy. It helps to have something special to look forward to at our age.

Here I am back on stage taking an encore bow so I feel I must share one more funny little story. I'm sure the divided bathrooms are great for families but we decided we would prefer one without the dividing wall. As we have grown older we have also become more concerned about the safety and welfare of the other. This involves letting each other know where we are going if one of us leaves the room. We were on the verandah one afternoon when Glenn got up and headed inside. He informed me (as is our custom) that he was going to the bathroom. I turned to watch him (as is my custom) and saw him go in the bathtub side and close the door. I quickly went to the door and said "honey?" After a slight pause he said "I'm in the wrong bathroom aren't I?" I assured him that was the case and he made the proper adjustment.

Glenn is a little worried that maybe our first cruise was too perfect and that the next one won't measure up. Right now, I don't see how that could possibly happen.

Thanks to all of you for becoming part of our cruise experience.

What a fabulous trip report! I found it late tonight, (actually it is morning) and it's now 1:23 AM!!! I couldn't stop reading.

I just hope I can share my cruise in April with people as wonderful as you and Glenn. You are such an inspirational couple. Have fun planning your next cruise.

I just have to say that reading your TR brought tears to my eyes. I hope I can enjoy my life with my husband as much as you too do......and have wonderful vacations when I am 84. I hope your next cruise is just as wonderful. I have to go check out the pics your daughter posted but I am sure they are wonderful.
