Last night was a very relaxing sleep. We slept with the sliding glass door to our balcony open, sleeping to the sounds of the ocean waves. We feel almost no movement-the only time you really notice any movement is when you're on the very top of the ship you can feel a vibration and then when we turn. However, once we hit the open seas, there definitely is more movement. Our bed is not the most comfortable thing in the world-it's very firm and not very soft. It re...

It is 12:50 am and I am just about to go to sleep. We sat out on our balcony as we set sail at about 9:40 this evening. Afterwards Chris and I headed to the Casino. Afterwards we grabbed something to eat at the 24 hour buffet and then we headed back to the room. In about 4 ½ hours we will be waking up to see the College Fjord, which we start cruising through at 6 am. By the way, sorry these blogs are a bit delayed. After we boarded we had other thing...

The town of Whittier is very isolated but absolutely beautiful. It's what you always imagine...

Well today was quite an interesting day! I'm sure many of you are wondering about the picture. I'll get to that, but I'm going to start from the beginning of the day. Today we headed south on the same highway we were on yesterday, only today we went further. We saw the mountain goats again today, but one was very close and we got a good look at it and some good video and pictures. We went past this tiny town of Girdwood, which literally is nothing more than a gi...

Living in the lower 48, let alone the midwest, we are very blessed with fresh meats and produce. Up here, they're blessed with fresh seafood and not much else. The milk I'm drinking right now comes from the State of Washington as does most things. I had a hard boiled egg for breakfast yesterday and it was horrible. Asparagus is served with every dinner around here and it is always frozen and not very good. However, the seafood is absolutely amazing and better tha...
