Well Carol....Steve had no interest in EVER returning to Alaska...so I had to do some convincing.....but the one thing he insisted on was that the ship go through glacier bay. Since the government licenses only so many ships to do this....it was more difficult than it sounds. First we wanted Disney...no glacier bay. Then Princess...no glacier bay. Bonnie recommended NCL...so thats what we did. in 97 days we begin our journey. We are booked at the waterfront Marriot...right across the street from the ship. So we will fly into Seattle on Saturday....stay at the marriot and walk across the street to the ship on Sunday.

I am really excited and I hope we have good weather.

I bought some new north face thermal jackets and have packed leggings and sweaters and boots. I am hoping I made the right choice in clothing. I also packed a couple of rain ponchos and an umbrella.

I know this will be the only time I get to do this....no way I will ever get him to go back again...lol
