Kathy, it's so nice of you to ask. The aunt who was diagnosed with cancer and decided not to have treatment passed away the day before we boarded the cruise. My mother went to see her just an hour before she passed away and my mother said she was resting well and was not in any pain. Although it is hard for her direct family, everyone knows exactly where she is now and that helps to ease the hurt of losing their loved one.
Are you planning on writing a trip report? I know I'd love to read it.
I hope to start the cruise portion of the trip report sooner rather than later.
