Karen, as you all know, is a Musher beyond compare, a major rock climber and our Keeper of LCT! You also may know that she does love the shoe.... All of us - MUSHers & non-MUSHers - have heard about the famed shoe suitcase. NOW, for the very 1st time anywhere, we present you Karen and the Amazing Shoe Suitcase!!! ![[Linked Image]](http://members.aol.com/wdouglas10/karen.jpg) Doug A no-Prize (thanks, Stan) for the first person to correctly guess how many pairs of shoes Karen got into this bag for a 7 (ok, 8) night cruise!)

Oh that is fantastic! As far as MUSH pictures go, that HAS to win a prize!! I am always trying to figure out if I can get away with one pair, or if I have to go with two pairs of evening shoes!!! LOL I just wish I had the shoe style sense of our fearless LCT leader...AKA Imelda!! :D ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/sherisk8z/tat-zapatos.jpg)

Okay- this is great. :lct:
I would say- that case would have 21 pairs of shoes. That is 3 pairs for each day. Remember they did the pre-trip.

And Jan's got it right, I took 21 pairs including hiking boots, sneakers and pool sandals.

I was going to guess it was the one in Karen's favorite thread - Our First Cruise 20 Years Ago - but it's not. Therefore...Karen's hair is certainly bangin'!! <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" />

Karen, that would be DDD, reclining by the pool at the hotel pre-cruise! So, if your hair is big, you have no excuse...just kidding...your hair looks great even while you are sunbathing!!! :D
I love this pic!!
Edited by Karen to remove the ash white picture of herself with a big stomach!! :eek:

Gee..I only brought 7 pairs..and of course I bought the cutest pair of UGG boots.
Until, I saw Karen's face on the SHeri post, I thought Doug had sent you a picture of my closet.

Karen - we should have taken a picture of all of your luggage, the size of your rental car in Whittier, and taken a poll as to whether people thought that we could fit all that luggage in the car or not. :D
Andi - those WERE a very cute pair of Ugg boots. Too bad - no pics.

Masaki, without YOU, we would of never got all that luggage into the minivan! You should of seen the airport security guy's face when we started unloading all the luggage at the airport. He asked how long we had been in Alaska and after we told him, he couldn't contain himself :)

You know, when we were packing, I pointed out how big my suitcase was. Doug said, "At least you don't have a suitcase just filled with shoes." I then pointed to my shoe suitcase...it was smaller than Karen's though.

Masaki - it was even funnier when two of us climbed out from the middle seat, then three suitcases, then the two in back had to crawl over the middle seat to get out, plus the stuff in back, and the stuff you managed to get into the cartop carrier - it really was funny. We definitely should have taken a picture!

Sheri-
Let's share that idea with Mr. Conroy from RSSC. They should consider adding a Diamond level to the Seven Seas Society which includes a shoe storage locker aboard the ship of your choice so folks like Karen can travel lighter!

Ah, Joanna..the beauty of shoes..they always make you look better...no matter what. If they don't, they make you feel better (even if they hurt).

A person can never have enough shoes!!! I must admit that as I get older, comfort is more of a factor than it was when I used to wear my high heeled "Candies". I still like high heels, just not as high!
