This was our first flight on

Frontier Airlines. We really

liked the granola mix and the

toffee mix that sold for $3each. Oh yeah, and

watching TV at our seat

wasnt that bad either.


3/76

This is whole new experience/world for each one of us.

Landing in Seattle, Washington


4/76

Seattle was a bit chilly, and

smelled of pine. A sweet

pine.yummy. Check out

the gas prices!! OUCH!!!


5/76

Arriving at Pier 55we

did pass a Red Robinon the way to the pier,

actually right down the

street from the

terminal.

7/76

See you in 7 days Seattle!!!!!!


8/76

The hull of the ship was covered in

artwork. It was actually quiteextraordinary. Without a doubt it

was the prettiest ship we have ever

sailed. No attention to detail was

left in any way, anywhere. The ship

is a masterpiece all of her own.


9/76

This was the first ship that Ihad sailed where they madea BIG BIG deal of theNorwalk Virus. You were noteven allowed in the diningroom unless you used thislittle magic blue germbusting ball. It was a bitannoying! I got the pointwhere I faked it sometimes

because I prefer soap andwater and not chemicalwashings.


10/76

Every day it seems there was some sort of Wii

tournament in the lobby on the giant screen. John and

Hannah are the ones playing in the baseball tourney. I

have no idea who is playing the guitar hero ones, but Iloved the way it looked on the big screen.


11/76

Trying hard to make a video call about 5

20/76

I thought the whale would be thehighlight, but I had no idea itwould be a tie, today was the dayI fell in love with Ice crevices of aGLACIER! I had no idea how

John Muir would effect me untiltoday.


21/76

There was a family of artists and they spent

the entire day painting Glacier Bay and thepaintings were to be auctioned off

Here is one of the paintings.it is lovely,

but I would like to paint my own, thankyou.


22/76

Bye Bye Gustavas, AK, I enjoyed you very much. The first thing I do when I get

home is read Travels in Alaska by John Muir.Yes, I am now a great lover ofyour vast ice fields Alaska. A huge fan, I would love to climb the

crevicesmaybe one day!!!!

Skagway, we had a great time. Fell in love with your

little mining town and realize there is so much of your

town that we did not see. The longing to get back gets

even stronger with everything we see. Alaska, I neverdreamed I would love you this much.


36/76

Ketchikan, Alaska. Little did I

know that this is yet another part

of Alaska that I would love. As a

matter of a fact it is hard to pick

things in order it is all so great.


43/76

Watching the pigeons fight over food They were very used to humans


44/76


45/76

The famous red light district of Ketchikan. The

famous site of a brothel made famous by Miss Dolley

and her girls. There was even a secret married mans

trail that led to the back door for privacy. Wow, thoseKlondikers thought of everything!!! Now it is a very

friendly shopping area still known as Creek Street.

but it would be two

more years before I took

it homemy mom would

one day buy this for my

dad (through me) in

2010!!!


50/76


51/76

In two years, we would be right back in these same

spots.sitting on the benches outside the stores, him

watching me buy jewelry in the SAME store, and next

time we would walk through the tunnel to see what ison the other side. Yeah, Ketchikan, you have NOT seen

the last of US!!!!


52/76

One of my favorite rooms on the ship, the StarDust

theater.It reminds me very much of some great

paper made by K&Co called Wild Saffron and both

are very inspiring because of the colors, the designsand the mood.
