Hello from the Ruby Princess in the morning and not the Ruby Princess in the evening. The embarkation schedule was ahead of schedule so I went straight from my cabin up to deck 16 to take my pictures and then straight to deck 7 to disembark.

It was such a gorgeous morning in San Francisco I just didn’t want to leave. |

I took the Princess shuttle to the airport (less hassle than having to convince a taxi driver to take the scooter) and was at the airport in good time. A sleepy Sunday morning in San Francisco made for light traffic but the airport was a zoo.
My flight wasn’t until early afternoon so I stopped by a restaurant in terminal 2 for a breakfast burrito. Eggs and bacon and potatoes and refried beans and salsa. It was delicious (and huge) so I took the leftovers with me.

By early afternoon when my plane should have left the gate things were looking like this.

And thankfully my daughter and son-in-law picked me up from the airport and took me out for an early Mother’s Day dinner. This restaurant had us cooking our own food at the table.

Too much food |
Now it’s back to work for a few weeks creating sewing patterns for DebsDaysDesigns before Alaska calls. That’s where I’ll be celebrating one of those big birthdays ending in 0. I won’t blog during those cruises as they won’t be solo trips but if I get to go it alone again, I will.
Thanks for joining me for this adventure, and happy sailing - and sewing!
