Cruising the Inside Passage
April 15, 2012
Today we are cruising the inside passage.  The view was amazing. Not as spectacular as Glacier Bay but still very nice.  There are so many islands in here.  Other than my memoir writing class, we sat by the windows and watched.  I was too cold to sit on my balcony so the girls sat by the window in the Bistro and watched this scenery go by as we chatted.  There was an Ocean View discussion today for the last time this WC.  Mary Matlin and James Carville, General Hugh Shelton and a Professor were the panelists.  Audience members are each given an interactive device.  A question is asked and the panel all give their opinions and then the audience votes for who they agree with.

The event for the World Cruisers the other night was a lot of fun and I have posted some pictures, thanks to Becky.  They did an incredible job making the Neptune Pool area look like a saloon and dance hall.  They made a dance floor on top of the pool and the entertainment staff did a wonderful job of  entertaining us.They left up the decorations as today was the American Buffet so it went well.  Bill, Becky and I decided to go up there and have lunch  yum they had turkey!!!  They had a lot of other things but I opted for my turkey and gravy surprise surprise!
After lunch I had my class and Bill went for his final massage of the cruise.  He has been going twice every segment!


Yesterday they had two shows.  They had one of the productions shows at 5pm and then at 7pm for late seating and 8:30 for early seating guests Jimmy Travis performed.  He also performed last night in theWC event.  We have seen him on the Symphony numerous times and he just gets better and better.  He sings, plays guitar and tells jokes.  He is so talented.  He makes up songs and he had the audience rolling in the seats.  On the way out we got to meet his wife this trip.

Well I now have three suitcases packed!  Only 5 more to go!  I just can't believe how fast this cruise has gone.  Alaska has been every thing that I have imagined and more.

Well today we are in Vancouver and since I had trouble with the internet last night this is being posted late.   We are here till midnight and Bill is in his glory he wants to find a sports bar so he can watch the NY Ranger hockey game tonight.  So off we go to scout out the area.  Let's Go Rangers!

We have been to Vancouver before and it is a great city so we are excited about being back.  We spent a week here with the kids when they were young!

Next stop on this fantastic adventure is Victoria, BC!
