Cruise Blog !!

    The pics from our Alaskan cruise this past September are now posted on a blog.  You can find it via the "View my Complete Profile" on the left (Alaskan Cruise 2012) - or use this link.  Feel free to leave witty comments and cruise-related questions as you sail along with us up the west coast of British Columbia and lower Alaska.

Back from the Cruise

    We're back from our 1-week Alaskan cruise.  We departed Seattle last Sunday night on the above piece of floating luxury, and got back in town at midnight last night.

    This was our first cruise, and it was definitely a memorable experience.  The legs of the cruise were :

Day 1  :  get on board.  explore the ship.

Day 2  :  at sea.  rough water.

Day 3  :  Ketchikan

Day 4  :  Juneau

Day 5  :  Skagway

Day 6  :  at sea.  kinda rough water.

Day 7  :  at sea until 6:00 PM.  then Victoria, Canada.

Day 8  :  disembark.  in Seattle with friends.  fly home.

   We didn't do any of the tours.  Seattle and Victoria were sunny.  All the Alaska stops were overcast, with occasional light rain.  Well, it is a rainforest, after all.  And since we were coming from Phoenix summer weather, we dug the cold and the gray and the wetness.

    We took tons of pictures.  If I get ambitious. I'll put 'em up on a blog.  Along with "30 things I learned on the cruise". 

On the briny

    A quick pic from our excursion.  We did both a chrono-hop and a dimension-hop this time.  Don't be alarmed - that starship isn't about to blast our cruise ship.  It's beaming us up for one of the daily tours.
