A rare view of the Diva ... bundled up against the cold.
Sailing towards Sawyer Glacier, Tuesday 8/31
Back from Alaska, that is, and we had a wonderful time! We actually got in around midnight on Saturday, but we are both out of whack and way off schedule from the time changes. Basically, I'm living on Alaska time ... but doing so in New York. Ack.
I don't expect to return to regularly scheduled blogging until next week, but thought I'd share a few quick pics from the trip with you. The highlights, if you will.
Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Tuesday 8/31
Mendenhall Glacier
We sailed Alaska's Inside Passage on the Norwegian Star. We left Seattle on Saturday, August 28th, and stopped in: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Prince Rupert, B.C. The ship also toured Sawyer Glacier, which was a highlight for me. Seeing Alaska, and its glaciers in particular, has been a major to-do item on my bucket list ... and I loved every minute of it!

Floatplane and cruise ships in busy Juneau Harbor
This last pic really sums up the Alaskan cruise experience - a magnificent confluence of the sublime and the ridiculous ... the majesty of nature juxtaposed against the absurdly decorated cruise ships. I miss it already.
I'll be sharing more photos in the days and weeks to come. This is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. I've got enough material for hundreds of Wordless Wednesdays to come. You've been warned.
Cheers!

So The Hubster has been trying to convince me to go on an Alaskan cruise but I was worried it would be too cold. After seeing your bundly photo, the words "Oh hell naw!" came to mind. My people are a warm people.
You can expect a strongly worded letter of complaint soon.
The PB and I are doing the Alaskan cruise next year. Loved this! And love you - you are BEAUTIFUL (parka and all!!!)
What a fun time! Gorgeous photos of the cruise.
