Twelve days until I leave for my much anticipated cruise. The last formal vacation I had was a year and four months ago, so I'm way overdue. I always seem to run out of clean something towards the end the cruise, so I thought I'd try some new packing regime this time.

I know! A set for day excursions and a set for dinner; three if you count pool attire. And on the gay cruises, often a another set for themed dances. Let's see, we got Mardi Gras, a White Party, Dog Tag (military themed), retro disco (silly 70's stuff) and two beach-themed dances. I don't OWN that many clothes. I always end up raiding a friends closet just to have enough nice dinner attire.

Military theme should be easy to find camouflaged t-shirts, etc.

70s theme, polyester pants and shirt at the local Good Will and your pretty much set.

I think I should throw a Bon Voyage party this year on the Friday before. Thoughts? Would you attend?

See, us philistines had no trouble with cruise wear. We reluctantly packed 1 suit. Otherwise it was jeans, shorts a few "club" shirts and tee's. Oh, and Sneakers, doc martins, sandals and a reluctantly packed set of dress shoes.

But, I am a philistine.

I'm surprised they didn't toss your uncouth ass overboard. Pagans.
