Take care of yourself Norris; so sorry you are still having symptoms; I forgot to thank you for the awesome video you took at the Panama Canal; it was really fascinating; hubs and I both enjoyed it; thank you for taking the time to post all of your pics and videos!

Always so sad to see a Norris GSJ end; but what a fabulous read each evening! Even with Covid you have an awesome sense of humor. Thank you for taking us along and sharing your pics and stories. Your meal at the hotel restaurant looked amazing and a great end to a vacay. Always love to see pics of your kitties. Hope you and Carol are doing much better. I have you on my calendar for the HAL cruise!!!

What a small world indeed with your story and choice of restaurant in Grand Cayman; can't wait to see your review and pics; enjoying along and the many laughs, including the Harry Styles hair reference; I laughed hard, that was really, really funny; your food pics make me so hungry, my dinner pales in comparison. 

So glad you let Princess know about the excursion; there were many things wrong from your pics and description; forced shopping, late busses and rude guides are big no-no's, legitimate complaints that need to be voiced. But, your cake looks amazing.

Following along with a nice glass of red this evening; Christmas looked festive and beautifully decorated; I had a snort laugh about Stanley the Bear; he really did look out of place and didn't quite know what to do. 

Carol - I was going to ask your opinion as to why they hang around and not fly away - they seem to be well taken care of so between that and having plentiful food and a natural habitat they have no need to fly away - what an incredible amount of species there - I would have taken too many pictures - thank you for chiming in 

The peek of sunset is beautiful on a ship; as you may remember I love Sedona, the mention of the Red Rocks beckons me to make a trip. But, travel is on hold for a while. Kitty issues.

Your lunch looked delish!

Sending get better quick wishes for both you and Carol now. Rest and take care. Loving the GSJ.

Looky who popped up into my emails this evening! I completely forgot about your Christmas cruise; Merry Christmas and Happy 2024 to you and Carol. I am so sorry you caught Covid again Norris; but I am hoping you are 100% from your bout with pneumonia; here's to feeling better quickly. Thank you for this GSJ! Following along with a glass of wine each night, such a treat. I would really like to get to Panama one day, my dad served there during WWII. Love your pics so far!

Thank you for all of your time put in compiling your GSJ; it was wonderful to visit everywhere with you and Carol. I miss cruising! So sorry you got sick towards the end but glad to hear you are on the road to getting better; take care and keep us updated on how you are; looking forward to your cruise in January!

Norris your humor shines; I am so glad you are feeling better, and well enough to entertain us; your hospital food pic had me in stitches; Amsterdam looks lovely and I know you and Carol will return; what a terrible hike at the airport; the one part of travel I truly detest, the return flight home; your 2 pud tats are truly precious

Oh my gosh Norris such great news - YOU ARE HOME!!! Rest, rest, rest and rest some more and take care of yourself; so glad you are on road to getting better!!  

Thank you for the update Carol; sending healing juju and prayers

Thank you for letting us know Carol; please let Norris know we are thinking of him and hope he gets well quickly; please keep us updated; and take care of yourself

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I will be following along on your adventures in Amsterdam. It will be interesting to see what you choose for Turkey/Greece area; I find the Oceania cruise prices so confusing; and I am still trying to see if Azamara is still a good fit; I know they are going through changes; I have read little about Cunard; I will also have you marked for your Panama Canal cruise! 

I would love to explore the towns you passed; your pics are so well done even through moving windows

Love it when you stroll the ship and take pics but then your meal pics arrive and I get hungry (especially the sweets and desserts), even though I just had a large plate of July 4th leftovers; sitting with my glass of wine this evening and enjoying every minute

I have to say your day with friends and family made me a bit misty eyed; what an absolutely lovely day; your pic with your sisters is one to treasure; thank you for sharing your birth place and home town with us

You had me at waterfalls; and that is a massive one; absolutely beautiful scenery, it all just looks so peaceful

Wow your meal looked fabulous; but I would have to order all of the desserts.

I am laughing at numerous things including all of those pillows on your bed; and all the pillows all over the ship; geez. And your wonderful references to tipping the porter so your luggage doesn't fall in the brink. Wonderful. I have to comment that my dear DIL loved sweet wines when I first met her; I quickly taught her the ways of a beautiful cab. She now cannot stand sweet wines, smart woman. Carry on with your amazing photos and banter. 

I am here! Late to the party (already page 3)! I am enjoying the adventures as always. I would rather read Norris' GSJ than a book. Following along!

Oh wow thank you for this review Norris; even more so being sick while you did it! Hope you and Carol are doing much better. Thank you for taking us along on this Christmas cruise; can't wait for your next cruise!

Your Christmas cruise sounds so relaxing (minus Carol's unexpected shower); and then your sunrise on your very last day; what a treat

Loved the pics and personalities of your two kitties; going to look into the Pet Cube. Thank you for posting this. Still following along and so enjoying with my nightly glass of wine.
