If they let you take the wheel for a bit, make sure you Honk if you go past Canada.

FYI, when you want to wizz over the side don't do it from the deck over the balcony cabins......you'll get caught and keel-hauled BTDT

My wife and I really enjoyed our cruise out there! We saw a pod of killer whales slapping their tails on the water. Man was that cool.

Enjoy your vacation and quit spending all of your $$ on using the internet! They have all kinds of things to spend your $$ on. Let me see, we bought a number of paintings at various art auctions -- wait did I say we?

Hope you have a great cruise. Get ready for some rain, it's been a cold wet summer.
How far north are you going, just doing Southeast or are you going to see any more of the last frontier?

Homer is a pretty nice town if you're on the Kenai Peninsula.

Don't press bare butt cheeks against the glass.....you freeze the skin to the surface and rip yer balls off....

So I'll bore you with a few more comments and pix. Advice: Go to Alaska. Go Holland America. See Glacier Bay.

One of the glaciers there is 75 miles long and runs (crawls) to the ocean. At the mouth it is 6 miles wide, estimate 300ft high. Towers over the not too small ship, and drops nice little bergs into the water. The dark blue stuff is compressed snow that fell over 10,000 years ago!

And my new business venture..

There were a few cancellations, due to security concerns, I guess, so we got quite a cabin upgrade. Private veranda, bath with separate shower and jacuzzi tub, champagne bucket. It's good to be the King! Victoria is beautiful, so was dessert. Toweligami??
