Tina and I are off early Saturday for a quick vacation… kind of a catch and grab…
We are flying to Seattle, spending then night, then boarding a cruise ship for a Alaskan Cruise, Seattle-Ketchikan-Juneau-Skagway-a quick stop in Victoria to satisfy the Jones Act then back to Seattle…
The trip is a recession special… as a result of the bad economy, people aren’t traveling, so cruise ships are sailing with fewer guests… and the price drops… T and I have good jobs, at least for the foreseeable future, so we are not feeling the crisis like so many others, so we can take advantage of the bad economy.
We have been to all the ports before… This time we are expecting to travel a bit slower, taking time to look about. I am sure we will visit Pike’s market in Seattle… In Ketchikan we have a kayak trip lined up. This is a big deal for Tina… she is not miss adventure travel. She has only kayaked once before, in Jamaica… In Juneau we will do very little… probably take the tram up high for the view. Skagway I will take the train as far into the Yukon as I can… Tina will not.
The stop is Victoria is late, 6:00 pm to Midnight… so we will probably visit a tapas restaurant we found on a previous visit and walk about a bit…
Our son turns 21 on the 16th. We are trying to rendezvous so we can buy him a legal beer…
So we fly in about 36 hours so I guess I should think about packing.. or not.
