Hey everyone!

Another fantastic day in Alaska and our last day also L Other than in Juneau, the weather has been almost record breaking here. Today we learned that Ketchikan receives almost 13ft (yes feet) of rain per year!!! Today they were complaining that it is too hot. Temp here is 75F right now and it is 5:30pm Alaska time.

We have met new friends from all over who's names we may never remember or ever knew.…Missouri, Kansas, Arizona(Deb and Carlos), Cali(Karen and Bill), NY(Joyce and Paul), Hawaii, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

I also want to include Lucy - seriously a 4ft Phillipino who is hilarious and always, knows what we are coming for when we get there. I know it's their job but there are 2100+ people on board.. An amazing adventure and it entices me to think where will I go to next?

Well I feel the ship starting to move so we are on our way to Vancouver.

Today Kelly and I went to the Lumberjack show, did a speed trolley ride (the driver seriously sped thru town!!...lol) to see the totem poles, and then a fab snorkelling trip. I only have a couple of pics from the before and after the snorkelling as my underwater pics will have to be developed. BTW - I bought the T-shirt J

I had so much fun in the ocean - but never really realized (and I don't want to hear that you did) know how unbalanced I was. I could not get to stand upright without flailing like a fish out of water…. (I'll leave that up to your imaginations), got an air leak in my mask and swallowed, mmmm…..salty sea water. The only thing I can hope for is the at least some of the pics turn out!! I believe Kelly has the same aspirations with the camera as I do!!

Tonight we turn the clocks ahead one hour as we move to Pacific time from Alaskan. I expect a trip to outdoor hot tub in a bit and maybe another beer or two. Perhaps some dinner as well.

Tomorrow we sail all day and it is expected to be warm and sunny the whole way. I am already sunburned but think I may sit outside quite a bit tomorrow. Kelly says…..not a chance that she will do the same....lol
