My 85 year old father had one dream, to cruise the Panama Canal. After Cancer surgery, my wife and I took he and my mom, and it was the fulfillment of a lifetime. The cruise ship (Celebrity) played all the historical stuff on the way. 16 day cruise was just last May. He passed last month, and never stopped talking of the trip. It was perfect! The best thing I EVER did in my life was to take him on that trip.
