Let me pinch myself---am I really here?(This picture was taken around 10:30p.m.)
The Sapphire PrincessOur cabin was on the right, second row of balconies. Get this----this ship uses 65,000 gallons of fuel a DAY!
The infamous Creek Street. This is located in the pretty little port city of Ketchikan. During the Gold Rush of 1898, this town was a booming metropolis. The day before we arrived, a mama bear and two cubs were roaming around on the airport tarmac. When the authorities tried to shoo them off, the cubs ran through the automatic doors of the terminal and jumped up on the conveyor belt in the baggage claim. The airport was temporarily closed until the situation could be resolved. Now please don't check this story out on truthorfiction.com because the tales from Alaska are a lot more fun if you don't know all the facts!!!!
This is our Filipino cabin steward, Tranquilino. He was such a personable guy and he worked so hard. He took care of nineteen cabins, all of which, he cleaned twice a day. Twelve hours a day, seven days a week, ten months out of the year. Wow!
GLACIER BAY
Dave thought he had died and gone to Heaven---King Crab Legs!!!!Our dear friends, Tim and June Robinson cruised with us.
Juneau,AK
This glacier is over 200 feet tall. I happened to catch it "calving". Huge chunks of the glacier break off randomly and fall into the ocean. It was so cool to actually catch this on camera.
Seventeen years and we've only just begun!
