Alaskan Cruise--part I

Well, I finally made it out of the country! I've traveled many places within the U.S., but Vancouver is the first time I've been in a "foreign" country. Though, I have to say a place where everyone speaks English and takes U.S. dollars doesn't seem too foreign. Vancouver is a beautiful city and the starting point of our Alaskan Cruise.

Stanley Park was close to our hotel and made for a nice walk. The totem poles were a highlight.

Well, this sounds tasty doesn't it?


My mom and dad celebrated their 45th Wedding Anniversary the day we got on the ship.

We soon found the perfect viewing area. Skywalker's Lounge jutted out over the side and provided picture window views of the ocean and scenery. Being up there was like flying and sailing at the same time.

You should see my dad with his brothers. Wide grins all around. Must be genetic! I remember my cousin at my wedding trying to explain to everyone that her uncles really were happy, they just never smiled.
