Today’s adventure was marked by relentless rain. It’s the first day of our second cruise, even though it’s technically day 8. We’re back on the same boat and cabin for a back-to-back cruise. Our port of call today is Whittier. We kickstarted the day with a delightful breakfast in the main dining room, where I…

Today, we find ourselves at sea, waiting for our glimpse of the College Fjord Glaciers. Our day began around 7 a.m. Kel was already up and ready. She went down to have breakfast early to get started on our next load of laundry. As Tommy and I readied ourselves to assist, we discovered a lengthy…

I woke up this morning thinking it was early, only to find that Tommy had already left for the deck to prepare for our arrival at Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve. Kel and I joined Tommy outside as we sailed through Glacier Bay, bundled in winter jackets and layered sweaters. The glaciers were breathtaking,…

Today in Skagway, I had the luxury of sleeping until 7 am, a welcomed departure from my usual waking time. Kel opted to stay on the ship and catch up on sleep while Tommy and I ventured off the boat for the day. After getting ready, Tommy and I went to the main dining room…

Today felt quite long and hectic. Tommy rented a car, which was a relief due to the nonstop rain.

We awoke just as we pulled into port. After getting ready for the day, we headed to the buffet for breakfast. I arrived in the dining room just in time to see the fresh scrambled eggs being prepared, so I helped myself to some, along with bacon, hash browns, and fruit. After eating, we returned…

On the second day spent at sea, Kel, Tommy, and I started our morning with a visit to the gym. Despite the crowd, we completed our weightlifting session within an hour. Kel did the treadmill and walked around. It was challenging for Tommy and me, as it had been a while since we lifted weights….

It was our inaugural day aboard the ship! Following a light breakfast, we prepared for the day and readied our belongings. We eagerly anticipated the shuttle to transport us to the ship’s embarkation building. The shuttle ride was quite eventful. The driver navigated through heavy traffic, which sometimes felt a bit intense. Boarding the ship…

Monday night. August 26 We just checked in our bags and breezed through TSA, making it the most effortless security check I’ve ever experienced. Currently seated at our gate, I’m gazing out the window, eagerly awaiting our airplane’s arrival while observing other planes take off and land. Later that evening, on the flight to Seattle,…

I’m all packed, and I’m now puttering around the house, carefully checking my list to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I’m pretty confident that I have everything I need. Kel and I will be meeting Tommy at his workplace, and then we will be heading to the airport tonight. We dropped Tommy off this…
