John is the best at taking care of his blogger friends and has definately earned a VERY large bag of sugar free jelly beans and anything else, except an Aston Martin, that he would like. We weren't sure we could have taken the cruise without your help. Once again THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We wouldn't have been able to do this without Stephanies help either. Taking time out of her day to relay our messages was a big help. So a big THANKS to Stephanie, too. Her concern about Valentine was greatly appreciated, also. We will be send a seperate letter to the customer service department at Carnival detailing this and thanking them for their part in the matter. We're sorry we couldn't join you on the inaugural cruise John. Maybe we will be able to make a later bloggers cruise. Everytime we get close to sailing with you again something happens. Looks like our luck is changing though, so it could happen.Have a good vacation John you deserve it.Dave and Barb Butler along with Valentine John and Stephanie,

It is so wonderful to be loved isn't it? See, you can find things to talk about when you aren't on a ship! You are too funny.Wonderful and funny report from Jaime as well and it sounds like things are going well on the Splendor. I am so looking forward to meeting Jaime in just 22 more days! Woohoo!!Sounds like Philly will be wonderful too and I hate it that I will miss it but geez I hope you can come somewhere that is closer--I love man-- but have been on planes more than you have in the last couple weeks and the next one I board will be with the grandkids three weeks from tonight to board the Splendor!I'll be watching on the web though...

Seriously though, how is Heidi? Did she get her washer? Does she have a dryer? Heard you got a new couch too. Has she looked at any baby furniture yet? Please post the P.O. Box for gifts to go to Heidi for the new wee one to-be. I don't want to miss the info. while I am on my cruise 11/21. Are you going to the Phillies Parade tomorrow? My nephew who is from NJ and is a weatherman in Wisconsin now, is flying back to NJ tonight for 1 day and he and his dad who are BIG Phillies fans are going to the Parade tomorrow. Have a cheesesteak sandwich for me too, with onion, peppers, and lots of sauce, the best are at Gino's or Pat's. YUM! My son was in Wash. D.C. on business a few months ago (he works for Lockheed Martin at NASA and he drove from D.C. just to get a cheesesteak sandwich. He told me he got 2, ate one there, and the other on the car ride back to D.C. I am so jealous.......

Rock-a-bye Johnny, during his hotel stay,
When his wind blows, the curtains will sway,
When the raspberry breaks, security will call,
And down comes tears of laughter, for bloggers and all.

he has the word “Van” in his surname which means, like Heidi, is from the land of clogs and windmills.

Be sure to have a genuine Philly cheesesteak when in Philadelphia. I have not found anyplace that makes them quite as good. Have fun at the event; I'm looking forward to watching the video.
