ALASKA BOUND - STAY TUNED!

                                                        

                                                                                            Colleen, Nancy and I are ready to set sail to Alaska on the 23rd of June.  So looking forward to a trip up and back again.  It is so easy to just go to downtown Vancouver and then hop on the ship and unpack for the week.  This trip is one I never grow tired of.  Our Mom loved this trip and it is so easy to understand why when you can see the most beautiful BC scenery out the window each day until we reach Alaska and then the rugged shoreline of such a beautiful state.

June is an especially interesting time to travel north as we get to experience more hours of daylight.  It won't get completely dark until about 11.30 p.m. and then the sun begins to rise around 2:00 am.  Not that it really matters as the stateroom has roo darkening blinds...but it is just a neat experience.  

I am so looking forward to visiting the familiar shops in the ports that we will visit.  Still the same, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.  The quilt shops are looking forward to my visit I'm sure!  

We will be traveling on the Emerald Princess and instead of Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm, we will see the Endicott Arm and the Dawes Glacier.  

So the 3 of us will share a stateroom and I will post daily updates so you can follow along if you choose to.

Talk again soon!
