For much of my teaching career, I wore neckties daily. I did throw out a whole bunch of them after I retired. What's left of my collection still dates back over three decades. Therefore, some ties are thin while others wide. For the most part, I never touch this collection now. After all, it isn't every day that someone I know gets married or dies. I did get a chance to pick through them though. I don't want to save all my packing for our cruise from Rome to the last moment.
We have been fans of Princess, but also appreciate how Holland America maintains certain aspects of traditional cruising. Recently, the only times that Jay and I wear suits is for our formal nights aboard cruises. I think Holland America Lines calls these special evenings, Gala Nights nowadays. I've picked out four neckties to put in the luggage.
