Waiting on the pics
this is the mendenhall glaicier, in juneau...part of tongass national forest. very serene and beautiful place.
Now that's nice to the eyes especially since it's 95* down here right now.;):)
this is tracy arm fijord, where the ship sails all the way nto sawyer glacier. the blue iceberg, the captain said may be 10,000 years old before it dropped off the glacier. pic doesn't do justice, the iceberg was a stunning blue color...
sunset over the ocean..............
this is the white pass summit in skagway, alaska........where the klondike gold rush hit its peak in the 1800's. minere trekked these peaks for hundreds of miles on foot in search on fortunes. this is actually a few miles past the canadian border. absolutely stunning.
name of a street in ketchican, alaska.....
this is on the deck of a restaurant in seattle at night, overlooking the harbor.....took me a bunch of shots to get the right exposure, lol.
finally, a seafood feast at a restaurand called the crab pot.....you order a selection of seafood, according to how many persons....minimum of two people. the had different choices, with or without crabs, mussels, etc......we opted for king crab, snow crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, corn, taters, and sausage................they put a bib on you, dump it all out on a clean sheet, give you a mallet and board, and let you go at it....
Beautiful pics Duck. That's a cruise I plan to take in the near future.
now that is sho nuff neat right there. Now the real question. Did you get enough time to go feshing while you were there?
lol, dd...........looked into a salmon fishing 3 hr trip, and also a crab fishing expedition while the ship was docked, but they were 350.00 per person, so we decided to bypass that.Quote:

Figured you could get a Halibit trip up. Catch one of those and feed a family of 8 for a year. LOL
dd, i saw where you posted about a trip for 4000.00 to the islands..........i know this is not a caribbean trip, but you ought to look into an alaska cruise for less than that, actually. it is all inclusive........tremendous amout of food, from buffets to 4-5 star rated dining, all included in the price. the only extras was buying the alcoholic drinks (which YOU prolly cant afford, depending on the amount of green cups, lol), and the tips. dd, it was an absolutely amazing experiene.
What cruise line Duck?
maj, it was royal caribbean cruise lines, aboard the rhapsody of the seas.
That'd be about my luck. Book the trip of a lifetime and some gewber from Greenwood happens to be on the ship with me the whole time. My condolences to the wife. Bwahahahaha.
Wannabe...
Amazing how vodka looks just like Dasani when you're traveling.
I've used that trick on three cruises.Quote:

odd thing is, you can buy soft drink and wine packages, but no beer or hard liquor packages.

Wow, that's my dream cruise right there. Glad you had a great time and thanks for sharing the pics!!!!! :)
Wife and I have talked about for years and want to do it. Have to wait til I can get daughter out of Dental School!
Great pics. If I was to take a cruise, that's where I would want to go. How long was the cruise?
cruise was 7 nights, and we spent 1 1/2 days in vancouver and 2 1/2 days in seattle. ship left from vancouver and returned to seattle.Quote:
