Some final few favorites

Here are some final favorite pictures from the trip. Our table mates, who included the couple next to me from California whose lesbian daughter married her partner (the other couple was her brother and his wife – all of us rooting for Obama and celebrating his victory, while disheartened by the passage of Prop 8 in CA and the even more draconian amendment in FL).

The birthday balloons that were hung on our cabin door throughout the trip. And the elephant made from a towel – the cabin crew always did something interesting with a towel at the night visit and left a surprise on the bed with it.
