As I sit here typing this, it's near 90 degrees in Chattanooga. I bet I am not the only one of the 24 members that wish we were back in Alaska.
Our trip started out by getting to Seattle to board the Discovery Princess. Most came in the day before, but a few came in earlier to enjoy Seattle. Regardless, we all made it aboard on sail day. The ship was beautiful, being only two years old and equipped with the medallion technology which made so many tasks on ship and on boarding easy. The ports we visited were incredible. There were up to six other ships there at the same time we were there. The only downside was the last stop in Victoria BC was only for two and half hours.
Princess is of only a handful of ships that get to enter Glacier Bay National Park, and it was like entering another world. The scenery was awesome. All I can say is it's a must see for everyone.
There was never a shortage of things to do on the ship. We all were doing our own thing, but you would still run into people in our group from time to time. The weather was outstanding: very little rain and temps were in the mid 60's most days. You should have been there! We all made it back home, but it seems like those seven days flew by. Hopefully we will try to head back up there in the future. i know I will be on that one!
Thanks to everyone who went,
Mike
