Wow Chris, Not a Dec. bandster but just wanted to comment on your photos. Did you do a cruise? Where did you go in Alaska?

Wow Those are amazing. I am so glad you had such a great time.

Thanks for sharring your pictures. I cant wait till I go on my cruise.

Great pictures, Chris. They brought back memories of my Alaska cruise many years ago. How did you like the cruising aspect? I don't remember if this was your first cruise. We choose cruising as our way of travel. I have 3 scheduled, Sep, Oct and Nov. I didn't do well on my last cruise - pb'd a lot and gained 10 pounds. How did you find the eating? I don't want to gain on my upcoming cruises. I can't afford to gain that much weight after all this work.

It looks like you had a wonderful time Chris!!! I'm glad you made it back. Wish we had all those fish here in Mt. for dinners. I'm learning to like a few different fish dishes. Not a huge selection of ocean fish out here but what I've tried I've enjoyed.

Share your experiences. I'm so jealous. I'd love to do a cruise. I'll have to wait until kids grow up though.

Apples 2 - you're more than welcome to check out the pics! We were on a 7 day cruise from Seattle to Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria, Canada. Absolutely LOVED it . . . and came back 8 lbs higher . . . I really have to be good now when I go to Vegas next week . . . but I can do lots of walking there if it isn't tooo hot! I would cruise again any day . . . so all you people with upcoming cruises . . .I'm jealous already!

Chris, thanks for the response. Saw the photos but for some reason the captions did not come through and thus my question about where they were taken. Isn't it just beautiful up there? My son lived in Homer for 2 yrs. and we visited. It was breathtaking!

Mine isnt till november/december. So I have a while to go before I can Cruise. lol

I really just want a vacation.
