Back From Alaska

I just got back from Alaska & got home about 30 minutes ago. We had a memorable time! I would post pictures, but my camera cord thingy is in Lubbock & I'm in Big Spring. Here is a brief run down:

Friday - flew to Seattle by way of El Paso & Las Vegas. (We did play some slots in the LV airport - we came out $10 ahead!) We stayed with my aunt, uncle & cousins who live near Seattle; Saturday - we got onboard the ship - by midnight though, my mom was sick; Sunday - we visitied the medical clinic and they were afraid she had viral gastroenteritis (Norwalk virus) - so she & her cabin-mates were quarantined for 24 hours. (Yeah - that means me & my mom & my aunt stuck in the same room together for 24 hours. . .we survivied!)

Monday - Ketchican, Alaska - we shopped, did a tour of the town & saw a lumberjack show. (i was disappointed, the "lumberjacks" were boys younger than me); Tuesday - Juno, Alaska - White water rafting & rode a tram thingy up to the top of the mountain. Wednesday - Skagway, Alaska - we did a tour of the town then rode a train up in the mountains and into Canada - it was beautiful. Thursday - Prince Rupert, Canada - we were SUPPPOSED to go whale watching, but it got canceled.

Friday - lazy day, we read, slept, ate & did some onboard activities; Saturday - breakfast - taxi -Seattle airport - Las Vegas airport - El Paso airport - Midland airport - 50 minute drive to aunt's house - 10 minute drive home.
