Queen Mary 2 Arrives in San Francisco

I said "wow". Because we were standing on the eastern side of the roadway we couldn't see the ship as it approached very well. When it did pass, the full length and size became apparent and we were all awestruck. You can see more photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lohphat/sets/72157594518183433/

BTW, I remember when the QM1 came into Long Beach (my hometown) for the last time in 1967 to be moored where she stands today.

@jesus89vald Because it's cool. It's a common way to celebrate first/last time a great ship enters port.

I'm glad the Queen Mary 2 exists. It's more of a true ocean liner than those silly floating boxes we call cruise ships. They even call their passengers "guests" for Pete's sake!
