I love that jacket in #1 and your portrait outfit is super fab. You were made to wear white jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-cruise--long-winded#post-1075930 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:42:15 +0000 MsMaven 1075930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocolion--I tried it and the gnome hat is perfect for a bracelet holder. &nbsp;Great idea. &nbsp;Funny too.</p> <p>Rachylou--the cruise was one week. &nbsp;</p> <p>The passage under the Golden Gate Bridge is an exhilarating experience. &nbsp;People line up along the bridge to wave as the ship passes under. &nbsp;I've never gone out past the Bridge on a boat before the trip to Alaska. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pier 35 has been refurbished for cruise ships--I understand there is still more left to do. &nbsp;This was my 10th cruise, 7th on Princess, so we are Platinum and can check in quickly and get our luggage delivered to our cabin right away. &nbsp;<br />The drop-off and pick-up traffic is still bad, but eventually I'm sure SF and the dock will get it worked out. &nbsp;</p> <p>The advantage of sailing from a port you can drive to is that you can bring all the luggage you want without the airlines' weight limits and the hassle of getting from an airport to a dock. &nbsp;This makes it easier to bring formal&nbsp;wear along, or will be passing through several climates and need heavier items. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-cruise--long-winded#post-1075766 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:50:26 +0000 Anonymous 1075766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation with us!

Our Stanford gnome, Lee, shows off the loot. (Grandkids gave us Lee as a Christmas present last year. &nbsp;We try to embarrass them by not leaving him in the garden, but showing him off on Facebook in various locations. &nbsp;By the end of this year I will probably have more Continuing Studies credits at Stanford than undergrad credits from my alma mater, UCLA.)</p> <p>#13, 14. &nbsp;We did not go formal on formal night, but did dress up somewhat for portraits. &nbsp;I swear I have full makeup on. &nbsp;I'm wearing a BR black knit blazer, crocheted burgundy&nbsp;JCrew outlet top, and a gray VC tube skirt--also my Paul Green not-quite sandals. I'm also wearing a diamond pendant from Na Hoku--an anniversary present from this year. &nbsp; DH wears his trusty Nordstrom blazer. </p>
