To Alaska and Back

Well the trip to Alaska was a long time coming. But as you can see by the update of the blog, Been There and Back. Nevertheless, I think that I can say that we all had a fantastic and memorable voyage. The trip started a little rough, we had a 9 hr. drive to Dallas due to rain. Originally, We did not want to leave out of Houston for fear of Hurricane delays. Wrong Guess!!! We boarded the Zuiderdam on Saturday 9/12 and the Bon Voyage party began at about 5:30 pm as we left Vancouver. If the pictures look like we ate often, that is because we did. The meals are all gourmet and no one was shy about asking for two appetizers, two entress, two desserts and so on at every meal. The chefs are truly top knotch. And on the plus side, I only gained 2 lbs. compared to the 10 lbs I gained on the first trip to Alaska. It was good that we took our Formal Dinner pictures early while we still fit in our clothes. We did some Whale watching in Juneau, Scenic Railway Tour in Skagway, Took in Glacier Bay from our Ship and Watched Salmon swim upstream in Ketchikan. All things end at a new beginning and so it was with this trip. Thanks to God we had a great time and a safe trip. The blog update includes 12 chapters that you can click on individually to see a photo chronicle of the trip. Please enjoy.
