What a trip!! After the fire on Lifeboat 10 was put out, things seemed to calm down and we had smooth sailing! Juneau was rainy (really rainy), but we (Elaine, Rega and I ) found 1 of the 2 yarn shops! It was run by a lovely woman who made me feel organized!! Thank God Susie never made it to that shop, she would have had a stroke!!
We visited two other shops , one in Ketchikan that had a beautiful view of the water and a huge selection on Koigu yarn! She has convinced me I need to give them another try! She said there shipping has gotten much better!
Fun fact- Margie informed me this morning that a cruise diet of 2 peanut butter cookies and 2 scoops of ice cream a day will cause you to loose 1 pound during the cruise!!
Back to the cruise, except for Juneau, we had fabulous weather!
Here are some photos from the boat of Ketchikan. What a lovely city- true Alaska. We were there on the Fourth of July and some got caught up in the town parade! Let me say- lots of dogs!! what a great town!
Here are some of the surprises Elaine and I had in our room each night!
If you are interested, the ship offers “towel folding” lessons!!
I have to say that again I am totally impressed with how well we were taken care of on our cruise! Can’t wait for 2015 in the Mediterranean! Start saving your pennies ( ok dollars!!). I will get out information about this cruise as soon as I get it! my thought is fly into Rome, stay a few days, take the train to the port town and cruise for 7-10 days! How does that sound?
