Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Disembarkation, Final Thoughts

May 15, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

I know, you were probably expecting to see this a few days ago – but you know how it is after you get home – and especially if you go back to work the next day! Real life is really not a lot of fun most of the time. I think I get especially spoiled … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Disembarkation, Final Thoughts"

D23 Destination D: Here We Go Again…

May 12, 2011 by Jeanine Yamanaka

Hey, remember when I was blogging about Destination D, back when it happened at Disneyland, last year? Remember when I got through the first day and said I’d come back to the second day? Remember when I never did? So now we’re less than a week away from the second Destination D, out at Walt … Continue reading "D23 Destination D: Here We Go Again…"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 13- At Sea

May 10, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Our last day on the ship – it’s supposed to be a relaxing at sea day, right? Hasn’t really worked out that way, though. 🙂 Ok, everybody brace yourself, because I’m about to use that dreaded four-letter word to talk about today: PACK. Sorry about that, but really, that’s what much of today was about. … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 13- At Sea"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 11 – Juneau

May 9, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Ahhh…another quiet restful night in our stateroom. Beci was telling us at dinner that she recommends Alaska Inside Passage cruises to her clients that are afraid they’ll be seasick, and I can understand why. It’s so smooth that a lot of the time I can’t even tell that we’re moving! I’m sorry that I haven’t … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 11 – Juneau"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 12 – Ketchikan

May 9, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Today was the kind of day that makes you believe that the Mouse really DOES control everything – INCLUDING the weather. In Ketchikan, the wettest city in the U.S., which gets rain 330 days out of the year, we had sunshine!!! Kinda spooky! Ok, yes, there were still lots of clouds and it wasn’t sunny … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 12 – Ketchikan"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway

May 8, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

(I got back to the room last night after dinner and just crashed – I was too tired to write and go through the photos. So here’s what I should’ve written yesterday about our visit to Skagway.) I really like this whole inside passage thing – the seas have been so calm that not a … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway

May 7, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Another terrific port day! But it’s been a very long day and I’m pretty tired – not sure how much I will get done. The short version: It was a cloudy and overcast day in Skagway, and raining lightly when we left the ship for our Alpine Snowshoe and White Pass Railway excursion. We took … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway"

Pacific Northwest. I went too!

May 7, 2011 by Jeanine Yamanaka

So to make up at least half of an AllEars full house, I too went on the DCL Pacific repositioning cruise from Long Beach to Vancouver. Unlike the rest of those lucky stiffs, I had to go rejoin Reality (such as it is,) before they continued on to Alaska, but it was still a great … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest. I went too!"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 9 – Tracy Arm

May 6, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Tracy Arm! Our first real day IN Alaska, though we didn’t set foot on land at all. It’s been a very busy, but really wonderful, day. The day started off cloudy – with low clouds, so we couldn’t see the shore, but after about an hour we actually had some blue sky and sunshine. I … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 9 – Tracy Arm"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 – At Sea

May 5, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

What day is it…what time is it? I’ve really lost track – it doesn’t matter very much here – well, except for being late to dinner, I suppose. 🙂 We had a time change last night and we’re on Alaska time now – an hour behind Pacific time. Extra hour of sleep last night – … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 – At Sea"
