Mrs Blog and I are starting the third phase of our Alaska adventure by taking a cruise boat down the Alaska coast ending up in Vancouver by next Friday. We'll be stopping at Juneau, Skagway, Ketchican, etc. Hopefully, all is well with our ship. If you missed it, there was another cruise ship breakdown that happened right here in Seward last week. We talked with several of the passengers and they were not happy campers. I think the ship has Wi-Fi, so the blog will continue.
