Alaska it is just....... well look for yourself


So last week we were cruising it and enjoying every moment. I got to say it was a perfect to take time out after everything we had done. We really apart from the 3 port days sat back enjoyed the views from many bars, cafe's, and even an ice creamery. It was like a 5 star resort, and had our towels made into a different animals every day, it was pretty cool.






Port days were great, we did a native tour, a lumberjack show, dog mushing, Canoe adventure tour, and the Skagway railway. These days were busy but lots of fun.









Alaska is really amazing and as you can tell by the pictures all the mountains were carved by ice making the all fiords. Cruising Tracey's arm really have me running around the ship with my camera for 2 hours taking picture's it was an amazing place.











Pictures don't really justify it, and would encourage anyone to go and see. It really had it all.
Now we are in LA, and had dinner at Martha'a house which was fantastic. Martha has retired but use to work for the JPL/NASA. We meet up with most of the people I have contact with here through work including there family's and had a great time. Mike Winders and his family who used to work at Goldstone (similair site to Canberra's) made his way down from Reno and it was great to see them. When I went to Goldstone every lunch we would go out mountain bike riding on site, and it is a US military site (which is desert) empty tank shells were everywhere and it was very different, but that is another story. Disneyland tomorrow should be pretty cool. Flying home Friday at midnight, hopefully we will be able to get some sleep then.
