I've just spent two fabulous nights in San Francisco and now I'm about to head to the cruise terminal here at Pier 27 and join Ruby Princess for a 16 night cruise to Hawaii and Mexico

I have an elite level of loyalty with Princess so um my cabin comes with a mini bar

I'm never bored only boring people get bored

no one gives a monkeys what anyone else is wearing and I love that Live and Let Live
