Re: Steve amd Vickies Alaska Cruise

[Guest guest]

Steve....I'm sure glad you enjoyed the cruise. My daughter/husband took the same cruise and got hooked on cruising! Then she and I went from Seattle to ...a 4 day cruise and I got hooked!

I'd love to go on another cruise. Rich doesn't like water so he will not go so I guess I'll go w/the kids one day.

Get all rested up for June 14th!

Steve amd Vickies Alaska Cruise

We've been home for a week and I am finally getting enough energy back to relate what a good time we did have. Left Saturday at 4:00pm on Norwegian Star from Pier 60 downtown Seattle. took a limo so not to have to hassle with traffic. About day and a half just cruising then stopped in Ketchican. Do Not Fear Little Electric Carts. At the last minute I arranged for a elctric cart for my cabin and was able to use it on shore even. Ketchican was raining and I talked to a local who was supprised I wasn't ducking for cover. The mist they call rain in Ketchican is nothing compared to what we face in Seattle. I liked Ketchican a lot. Back to the ship and overnite to Juneau. Handicap excursions were limited. Juneau is in a very picturesqe sitting however. Did find a bus with lift that took us to shopping center. Supprise they were the same stores we found in Ketchican. Evidentally most of the shopping is owned by the cruise lines rather than locals. When we sailed from Juneau our next stop was to be Skagway but first some sailing among the icebergs from Mendanhal Glacier. Worth the whole trip. Ship manuevered right up to the glacier. Fantastic. Then Skagway my favorite. Beautiful setting steep mountains right down to the water. We had 5 overcast days and a couple sunny. Next stop was Prince Rupert, BC. It was clear and windy and I looked down the gang plank, turned and looked at Vickie and went back to state room and slept till we were already leaving. Got back to Seattle and have been sleeping better and breathing better.

It sounds fabulous!! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to do this. It's one of those lifetime experiences isn't it?

Steve,

Even though I am envious of your wonderful trip, I am so glad that you two got to go. It sounds like a beautiful and restful time. I have always dreamed of going to Alaska. Did you take a lot of pictures. Maybe you could post a few.

Rest up....hope you have many more vacations!!
