Alaska

Here it goes...



Days 1 and 2. Drove to Seattle, nothing too exciting. 2 days of driving. Anyone who's been on a long road trip can relate.



Day 3. Boarded the ship. Stateroom pretty cramped, but nice. My bed came down from the ceiling... very cool.

A brief note about the ship... The Golden Princess, of Princess Cruise Lines. We were on the Inside Passage. It had 4 pools, unlimited pizza and fast food, and free food anywhere you turned.

Day 4. At Sea. That was by far the worst day, as I was not expecting it to be that bad, rolling and such. Let's just say my breakfast didn't stay in my stomach. So we chilled and watched movies and TV all day. A note on movies at the end of the post.

Day 5. Juneau. We went on a dogsledding adventure, and rode on a big cart thing (no snow) and then we got to hold the puppies. They were SO CUTE!!!! Mine had these big blue eyes and was chewing on my bangs, my sweatshirt, and my wrist... very adorable. We also went shopping. I now have an Alaska sweatshirt that says "Abercrabie and Fish" and some "Chocolate Moose" PJs. Pretty sweet.

Day 6. Skagway. We went fishing, but we think it was a hoax... no one caught anything! The lake was beautiful, though, so it was still fun. Just freezing.

Day 7. Glacier watching through a fjord. Gorgeous scenery! We saw the glacier. It was pretty sweet but we couldn't get too close. There was a lot of ice in the water.

Day 8. Ketchikan. Nothing too exciting there.

Day 9. Victoria, Canada. Beautiful city. We saw lots of little shops, and pretty flowers... nice place.

Day 10. Disembarkation Day. We left the ship, and drove all day. Stayed at a nice hotel but I stayed in the hot tub too long and almost blacked out. Not good.

Day 11. Drove all the way home.

Today I danced from 9-3. I'm kind of tired so more tomorrow.
