Well, here it is: the last Alaska post. It’s about time, eh? But just to finish off, I decided to just post a couple other pictures that didn’t seem to really fit anywhere else. Like these pictures from the two formal nights. (P.S. I totally loved how my hair turned out for the first formal …
Alaska Cruise – Food!!
‘Here it is, just as I promised–an entire post devoted entirely to cruise food. I’m sorry. And you’re welcome. Question: Have you ever tried any of the following? *Veal*Duck*Venison*Lobster*Escargot*Crab*Quail*Wellington steakor *Chilled peach soup? Well, so have I. I tried them ALL on the cruise actually, and for the first time, too. You see, I’m not …
Alaska Cruise – Victoria, Canada
To round out our vacation, we made a quick stop in Victoria, Canada for about four hours. Originally we’d planned on going to the Butchart Gardens (which has been on my dream list ever since I’ve heard of its existence), but due to cost and time constraints, we decided to save it for some future trip. …
Alaska – Tracey Arm Fjord

You might want to go grab some Rocky Road ice cream and a fudge brownie because there is some MAJOR picture overload about to go down in this post. Juneau was definitely my favorite place we stopped at (although kayaking in Ketchikan comes in a close second). We got off the port just after noon, and …
Tuesday Tell-All, Alaska Edition
*I’ll start off today’s Tell-All by telling you an embarrassing little tale that has nothing to do with the kayaking picture above. So on cruise ships, they have lots of different entertainment options at any given hour–everything from ballroom dancing lessons (which we did, surprisingly) to fruit carving demonstrations (which we, unfortunately, did not). One of …
Alaska Cruise – Quick Stats
So before my trip (in this post), I made a few fun little predictions about what would and would not happen on this cruise. To save you the trouble of having to go back and check them out again, I’ve posted them here for your comparing convenience. You’re welcome. And thus follows my original predictions: …
