How History is Repeated
I picked up an old book of Sandra\’s the other day, it was written in 1964 and it is about how to run a successful photo studio. For those of you that don\’t know we\’ve been going to Las Vegas for the
Online Wish List
Ok Sandra, here\’s my list. It\’s not very long but Amazon doesn\’t have much of the weird stuff I like. And some of the stuff I\’d like to have, nobody makes so I\’ll have to invent something on my own.
Inside Passage, Alaska
This was our last day in Alaska, it was a cruise through the Inside Passage and the shallowest part of the Inside Passage at high tide is only 10 feet more than the ship draws so the Captain had to hit
Sitka, Alaska
Sitka was a really neat place to visit.
This is the only town where we spotted a bear!
It was also the last stop where we went on an excursion and we went to see the otters and other wildlife
Is the phone company just lazy?
Have you ever dialed a phone number just to get a few rings and the computer telling you that you do not need to dial the area code for the number? Or that you don\’t need to dial \’1\’ before the number?
Blogs for Dogs
It had to happen some time but there is a website that lets you make a blog for your dog including friends and giving bones to the dogs. It\’s really funny to read so go check it out. //www.dogster.com

Death of the English Language
So what\’s happening to the English Language? I just watched a Nissan commercial where the announcer pronounced Rouge as “Rog”, much like Dog with an “R”. Did we somehow forget what we were taught by our
Jury Duty Again!
Yes I had Jury Duty last year and here it is 17 months later and I have to go again. I have only known two people that have had jury duty up until last year and now everyone I know has been called once
World’s Longest Zip Line
This was really cool! We stopped in Icy Strait Point, Alaska and got to ride the world\’s longest zip line. You really can\’t describe this, so see it for yourself:
The Hubbard Glacier
After leaving Skagway we headed to the Hubbard Glacier. The glacier itself is 6 miles across at the face and it is one of the glaciers in Alaska that is still growing.
It is incredible to be at the
Davidson Glacier – Skagway, Alaska
This was really a cool tour, we took a canoe up to the end of the Davidson Glacier just outside of Skagway, Alaska. On the way to the camp at Glacier Point we stoped to see this waterfall.
Then we hiked
Juneau Glacier Tour by Helicopter
We had the best tour of the Juneau Glaciers and Icefields and it was in a Helicopter. We\’ve never been in a helicopter before and it was incredible.

Upgrade Goof
Sorry, but because I tried to upgrade the blog software today, you don\’t get to hear about the rest of our trip until tomorrow. In fact I\’m still trying to get the blog back to how it was before I started
Juneau, Alaska – Mt. Roberts Tramway
There\’s not much to Juneau, the capital of Alaska. In fact it is not accessible by road, only by boat or plane. It is a very nice little town and right at the port and the base of Mt. Roberts is the Tramway
Ketchikan Tour
So before we left Ketchikan we had some time to walk around town. It\’s a really neat town and we thought you might like to see some of the cool stuff.
There was a horse drawn trolley to take you around
How about a tour of the ship?
I guess we skipped right past this in our excitement to get to Alaska, but we were on Royal Caribbean\’s Radiance of the Seas and the ship was really nice. Of course the first thing you do when you get
Misty Fjords by Float Plane
(Mom, close your eyes.)
Our stop in Ketchikan also included a flight over the Misty Fjords by Float Plane and it was really awesome. This was our first flight to and from water and it was an incredibly
The Salmon Ladder
It\’s not actually a ladder, but it\’s where the salmon jump up the rapids to get upstream. This was worth the hike up into Ketchikan.
But because it\’s tough to get a photo of a salmon in the air we
Ketchikan, Alaska
Finally! We get to see Alaska. Our first stop was Ketchikan, the Salmon capital of the world, and what a cool city it is. The first thing you have to know if you ever go to visit Southeast Alaska is that
