ALASKAN ADVENTURE COMPLETE

These are pictures from our trip. Sorry they are not labeled. We had a blast. Overate but thankfully I only gained four pounds not bad considering the average weight gain is eight to ten pounds. We got home yesterday about 1:30 in the afternoon. We drove straight through from Vancouver, Canada. Rough trip at our age we should of stopped and spent the night somewhere.
On the cruise up we visited Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Seward. We also cruised College Fjourd, and Glacier Bay. On the cruise back we visited the same places except instead of Skagway we visited Haines. They are cute little "quaint" towns. Very pretty countryside, you expect to see a bear come running out of the forest at any moment and run down the streets. The cruise ship we were on was small in comparison to other ships. That is why it didn't have food places all over. You could get food though anytime because there was room service available 24 hours a day. In the slide show I have pictures of the late night dessert extravaganza . Dave and I only sampled a little bit because the lines were to big. Looked yummy though. The food gets to your stomach eventually because it is so much and mostly gourmet. There is also a picture of a bear cub in the tree and a porcupine in a tree. Hard to make out but the best I could get. I believe there is a picture of a whale spouting in there too. There is also a picture of our friends the Mills and a picture of there son and his wife. We stayed with the Mills on our way to Vancouver and had lunch with them on our way home. We had a nice visit but to short.

What a cool trip. Glad you guys had fun. I can't believe you drove straight through either...that's crazy!! You're probably still catching up on sleep. I would be. :o]

I was still catching up but I think I finally have. Poor Dave had to go to work the next day. He was still pretty tired last night.
We did have a good time. Very relaxing with everything being done for you.
