280 FRIENDSHIP CRUISE

We have taken some 30 cruises over the past

longtime friends—on this eight-night cruise
from San Diego to Vancouver, with port calls
in Santa Barbara; Astoria, Oregon; Seattle;
and Ketchikan, Alaska.

ber one. This Southern California native has
made the city of lights her home for seven years.
