Countdown to Alaska

Less than two weeks now before we leave on our Alaskan cruise. Seems like a long time ago that we booked it and now there is less than two weeks to go. One of my customers, Aftan, who books and manages all the advertising for Redhead Equipment, was telling me today that she and her husband were professional singers for a number of years on cruise ships. She did the Alaskan cruise three times and says it is the best and her personal favourite. Breath taking scenery and lots of excursions to take in.
She says there is so much to do on the Alaskan cruise both on and off the ship that you just don't have time to take it all in.
She said the weather this time of year is much like what we have here so that should be good and like Aftan said, "you go to Alaska for the scenery and not for a sun tan. So anyway now I am getting really excited, not that I wasn't before, but with less than two weeks to go it seems more like reality now.
We have booked an afternoon trip on the White Pass Rail Line and so I am told it is one of the highlights of a visit to Alaska.
Also hope to perhaps do a whale watching expedition, lots of hiking, on boat activities and just generally have a relaxing time.
One of the nice things is I don't have to do any driving this trip. Fly in to Vancouver, take a cab to the ship, get on board and enjoy. Hey flying into Vancouver. I better make sure i have my Boston Bruins sweater on and my hat that says Boston Bruins,
2011 Stanley Cup champions. It just doesn't get any sweeter than that.
