To Hannibal,

We wish to thank you SO much for the hospitality, the LOVE and friendship you offered. We left the town with a feeling of sadness as we always do when we leave a Port. We make such GREAT friends along the way and it is SO hard to say good-bye.

We had a wonderful time while there. The crowds were great. Saturday and Sunday were record days with lines awaiting with anxiety to see the ship. There was not one complaint for the wait or the weather just contined expressions of Thanks over and over. Sales were great and the gift shop ladies were happy at the end of the day with still a BIG smile on their faces. The tours were great and the tour guides are ready for a bit of rest. They certainly deserve it. Most importantly the folks of Hannibal were HAPPY.

As we pulled away from the dock there was quite a crowd to say good-bye. As I walked the fence line and shook hands and Thanked them for coming there was always the same question, "will you be back again".

This is just a short version of what has happened but wanted you all to know. We have laughed with Hannibal and cried with Hannibal and that is what the Grey Lady is all about. We live and we learn through her.

Have a GREAT day.
