going on a cruise. thoughts?

[PUCKER]

Wife and I LOVE to go on cruises!! Our favorite was a 15-nighter from Barcelona, Spain, to Galveston, TX. It was a WONDERFUL trip, loved crossing the Atlantic too! We made lifelong friends from that cruise, a couple from Sweden and another couple from Germany. Traveling is one of the best gifts there is!

My wife and I did the two-week cruise to Alaska last May on Princess. It was a blast! We sailed out of San Francisco, up the west coast, Alaska , Canada and back. I can't wait to go on another one. The seas got real rough for a couple of days, but we took Dramamine and were totally fine. Other people with the patches didn't seem to fare as well.

Sailing under the Golden Gate bridge, to me was, a great experience. A lot of great history has done that. Plus stopping at Vancouver as a port of call is a real plus.

I took ALOT of pictures going under the golden gate bridge. It was awesome!

If you're visiting San Francisco, you can take a bay cruise that passes under the Golden Gate Bridge and circles Alcatraz Island. Touristy but we enjoyed it.

This is good for a half day cruise. Alcatraz has an interesting history. There are also tours of Alcatraz.

My wife, two sons and my mother and father, did that in about 1970. Alcatraz was occupied by the AIM people at that time and not open for tours. Three of the loved ones in our group have gone on to the great beyond. *sigh*.
