Alaska, baby!!!!!

Yay....cruise time!!!!! the day finally arrived...we booked this sucker like a year ago, so we've been waiting a while. So the following blogs are somewhat divided, in order to categorize things a bit...let me tell you, i have over 800 pics (plus about 300 from Pammer, and i haven't even seen Theresa's pics yet to know what she snapped that i didn't), so that makes it a bit difficult to choose a few to blog about. Anyway, i hope you get a good overview of our trip, i'll try to explain things the best I can...and shortly, there will be many photo albums on facebook with a lot more pics, so you can see more there.

Whew..i'm tired! Let's go on vacation! Ok so here's our ship (seems i did steal the right pic off the website before!!). This is me and Theresa at the port in Vancouver just after we got dropped off by Chad. We are about to go through customs and security and head to the boat!!!!!!

On the ship...welcomed with champagne!

These next 2 pics are from later in the week, when we got all dolled up for dinner!!

Here's Pammer getting slightly windblown on our balcony!!!!!! LOL!!
This was at our first port, Ketchikan. We did a Duck Tour (don't make fun) which was the perfect excursion because it was raining, and we stayed dry. For those unfamiliar....this vehicle that Pam and Theresa are posing infront of is our bus...or is it a boat?? Oh WAIT, it's both!! yeppers, an amphibious vehicle...so we got a tour of the town by bus and then headed into the water and got a tour of the waterfront!

Here I am chillin' on the boat with a cup of coffee...notice the toque, yeah it was a bit chilly but nice when the sun came out
Me and Pammer with the Mendenhall glacier in the background
Oh wait, here I am back on the ship...me and Rebs
Me and Rebs hard at work
This picture was taken on the Jeep tour that went up to the Yukon (more pics of that later)!!!

My first trip to the Yukon!!
And then back to Alaska!
Back on the boat, in the sports bar, with AMAZING chicken wings (we had them at least 3 times) and our helmet of beer...it was the cheapest way to have alcohol on the boat
Me, in one of many elevators on the ship

Me and Theresa and random heads in Juneau Checking the map in Ketchikan...the town was so small, could i really get lost??
WHAT? Skagway has a starbucks???? Well, not really, but there was a place that "proudly brewed" it (at really expensive prices...but we went anyway!!)
Ah the jeep tour...this was fun. There were about 5 jeeps and we had a guide who talked to us by radio, pointing out things, giving us interesting facts, etc. Like you saw above, we went up into the Yukon. Then we did some 4x4ing which was sweet, before coming back to Alaska
And then, before we knew it, the week was over and we were back in Vancouver. Theresa and I showing our sad faces.
Ok, on to some more scenic pics!!!!
