One way I keep Dennis alive is by planning trips. We just booked an Alaskan cruise to see the inside passage.
A few years ago, Dennis and I took a trip to Alaska and visited the interior, so this will be new and different - more glaciers, whale watches and lots of ocean.
We leave August 21, the same day the teaches in Minneapolis must return to work! Talk about a perfect retirement present to myself as well as motivation for Dennis to keep on going.

It's the glacier run - Ketchikan (famous for totem poles), Juneau, Sawyer Glacier, Skagway Glacier and Prince Rubert (Canada). We start in Seattle and have two days at sea.

I am so happy you both and the helper too have this experience
only seen this area on TV but it is so wonderfully aloof from the everyday grind..traffic noise..crowds..
enjoy
Anno, that's wonderful! You guys are enjoying every minute you can, aren't you? Have a great time!!

Mountain, I am really looking forward to the 2 days on the ship, just looking at the fjords (I suppose that is not what they are called) in peace.

Anno,
It's so hot here right now, I can hardly breathe. Wish I was
cruising in Alaska. Prayers and blessings!

Thanks, Jabber. It still 6 weeks away, though, and we could all fry by then.

Cruise sites should be beautiful at this time of year, Anno.
I have cruised the coastline of northern British Columbia. It's just as wild/green as Alaska.

Re: Alaskan Cruise - 07/11/10 12:39 PM
Orchid, I believe we are cruising past British Columbia - on the return trip, perhaps?

Wishing you lucky sightings of a whale or 2, dolphins, seals, sea lions or otters.
Are you at all stopping Vancouver, BC?

No, Orchid, we are stopping at Prince Rupert. I want to get to Vancouver soon, though.
