I still love it and of course it has the added attraction of the memories that are associated with it.... ahhhhh strolling in Venice with hubby and wonderful new friends. I have had many complements about the bag and of course I tell everyone where I bought it and that it is my Jackie bag.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Glad you are finally going to start packing, girl.  don&#39;t forget to leave room in your suitcase for me.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />  oh well, hopefully we will cruise together again some day.

I&#39;ve been working up to 14 hours a day... and now - NO WORK&#33;  I feel like I&#39;m playing hookie.  Yes Tony is still working. You know - you have no idea how many compliments I&#39;ve had on my bag as well......

Gail, Paul, Tony and I were strolling the canals in Venice and when we walked over the Rialto Bridge we discovered these little shops and market area.  One of these stores sold gorgeous leather handbags made by their family.  Gail and I looked over all the bags and when came the time to pay for our purchases we had both chosen the same stunning handbag.  So I call it my Gail bag and she calls hers her Jackie bag.  It always reminds me of my new found friend&#33;<br />
