I am creating this entry to answer the question posed on my last post by my most vertically-challenged sister-in-law.
  1. We saw lots of neat things. We had several sightings from the boat of humpback whales, and a few killer whales. We also went on a whale sightseeing boat ride, where we got a bit closer to many whales, including one that came right up beside our boat. We also saw seals and sea lions, including several that were sun tanning on a buoy. On that trip, we also got pretty close to a glacier and a good sized waterfall. Pictures are on Facebook. :)
  2. We had four stops along the route. Three in Alaska - Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan, and one in Canada - Victoria, British Columbia. Juneau is where we did the whale and glacier tour. That tour was pretty spendy ($159 a person, for 4 1/2 hours), so we decided to only do one such tour. We just walked around Skagway and Ketchikan, which were neat little tourist towns. In Ketchikan, we saw a guy walking around in a bigfoot suit. We walked a little bit into Victoria as well. Megan had never been to Canada before, so that was neat.
  3. The food was great, and we ate too much of it. Who can complain with a 24/7 pizzeria? They had all sorts of tasty foods. Most of it was buffet style, but we went to the main restaurant a few times. And I drank a lot of chocolate milk.
  4. Like a lot of things in life, Lasik does have its downsides, and being able to now see my face clearly all the time is certainly one of them. I would now like to apologize for forcing all of you to look upon that face for the last twenty-nine years, and will now being wearing a paper bag over my head from now on to ease the suffering. :)
