Pics from our Alaskan Cruise (May 2011)

Post by canucknyc »

We sailed out of/into Seattle, and had stops in Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, and Victoria, BC. It was even more beautiful than I had imagined!

Hello, Seattle

Beautiful photos! We LOVED Alaska!
In my dreams, we retire and summer in Alaska and winter in St John. :D
In the fall and holiday season, we'll visit home, family and friends.
A girl can dream, right? :wink:
