Our most recent trip was an Alaskan cruise, round-trip from Vancouver. We LOVED Vancouver - really a beautiful, vibrant, and young-feeling city.  A longer trip there is definitely in the cards.  As for how we enjoyed the rest of the trip (company excluded), one major factor is that we don't enjoy being cold.  The scenery was beautiful, though.

 Above is Juneau from a high point in town. The weather turned out to be everything we had heard about Alaska - rainy.

Skagway was the second stop. This is a building facade made of sticks.

 Inside the Red Onion Saloon. Don't know the story behind the bedpans. It was a bordello so I probably don't want to know.

 A glacier in Glacier Bay.

 My favorite place we stopped - Ketchikan. This is the view on the footbridge leading to Creek Street.

 Creek Street - all buildings are on stilts.

The Olympic torch in Vancouver.

I'm a lucky girl - I admit it. My military man took me around the world and fanned the smoldering ember of my desire to travel. He gave me the opportunity to live in Japan and England for a total of 9 years. This blog will primarily involve taking you along on my trips but  my life and opinions will inevitably drift in.
