What a relaxing way to end your holiday. You have seen and done some wonderful things. Enjoy the rest of your time on board.... talking and reliving all your adventures!
Good evening from Cheltenham, here you are sailing the inside passage back to Vancouver after your amazing adventure together in Alaska. Wow, just think of all you have seen and done. Wonderful way to reflect on your adventures over a nice meal in the Volendams Pinnacle Grill, you will all have special and different memories from different aspects. Connie Maris and Lachlan, it’s been fun following your journey each day, reading about your adventures and seeing photos, thank you for sharing “3 Generations” Room 6171 on the Verandah deck may never be the same! Its not over yet so keep having FUN.
As expected it’s raining in Ketchikan, oh and a little chilly. We docked at 10am so a leisurely breakfast before we rug up and disembark.
We’ve booked to see the Lumberjack show. So once we avoidRead more
~~```Ketchikan```~~ Yep I can relate to the rain! It’s known for rain and it doesn’t disappoint, why should you miss out hahahaha. Wow another connection with your dad, its been nice to have that through your journey. Sounds like you’re a star Maris, photos are great. Enjoy relaxing in the warmth of the ship and take advantage of some down time, you have all done so much, reflect on the things you have seen, done, shared, laughed at and made lasting memories from ….oh, and I think the poor people are back at work paying for their last holiday – or planning another, bloody travel bug! Keep having fun everyone.
Apart from the rain, and apparently it is nearly always pouring in Ketchikan, it sounds like just a wonderful day. Loved the story with the lumberjacks and the photos with your Mum are lovely. How special was that!! Food looks delicious... and fascinating looking at this special town. Drying off back on board, ready for the evening and more wonderful time sailing... marvellous trip. Keep enjoying xx

Oh dear... there are so many things to say about Breakfast in a Brothel .... but I shall limit myself to asking if it was an airbnb and if you slept well? Only kidding..... sounds an amazing place and so full of history. Love the photos! Hope the sun keeps shinning for you xxx
What an outstanding option to pick, driving to Salmon Bake in an old yellow school bus and seeing more of Juneau. This is one thing that has been added to the bucket list and ticked off all in oneRead more
It’s a nice warm sunny day this fine Saturday, Leon and I wired Mum’s garage and Fin has run around like crazy with Sammy!
