I have never had any desire to go on a cruise, and I still don't, but it is a treat experiencing it vicariously through your adventures.<br /><br />This post is especially affecting, making me laugh out loud at your description of losing your robe and towel, at your surreal conversation on the mobile and then the sobering and touching being moved by the descriptions of the two lost men.<br /><br />"Oh hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea." keeps running through my head. Although I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. lol<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your humor and your sensitive observations.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-58269359601996956082010-07-22T21:32:24.664-04:002010-07-22T21:32:24.664-04:00I slept through what my family claimed to be a rou...I slept through what my family claimed to be a rough night at sea when we went on a cruise.<br /><br />I'm really good at sleeping.

Made me laugh.<br /><br />It reminds me of an (semi-)indoor pool I go to sometimes in the winter. The pool is plenty warm. The changing rooms are plenty warm. But they are not connected, and you have to run from one building to the other, in frigid temperatures, while wet, in your swimsuit. I cringe just thinking about it.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714078352001622357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-49510204928699053072010-07-22T19:14:59.721-04:002010-07-22T19:14:59.721-04:00i'm more worried about what you can hear thoug...i'm more worried about what you can hear though the walls. not that 11 in 3 is conducive. or.... how does the staff deal with it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-84246543677182308972010-07-22T18:04:25.831-04:002010-07-22T18:04:25.831-04:00I've been on 2 cruises and both times the rock...I've been on 2 cruises and both times the rocking was just about too much for me.

I was worried about getting my fix as cruise coffee is pretty nasty. On our last cruise the line we sailed with had instituted a coffee card good on REAL freshly brewed coffee! Best thirty bucks I ever spent. They also had a smoothie and shake card which I passed on, but the males in our rather large party did not. The over under was 15 pounds on the milkshakes. The party was significantly larger when we disembarked.<br /><br />Glad you are having a great time, and using your $2.67/minute, butt-slow internet time to post updates for your readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-34528248356301954402010-07-22T09:26:06.818-04:002010-07-22T09:26:06.818-04:00There's a hotel in Banff which is in an old ra...There's a hotel in Banff which is in an old railroad castle--it's a stunning place. They have an outdoor heated pool, working clear through the winter ski season. You freeze on your way in, trying not to slip on the ice.<br /><br />Once you're in, though, floating in the warm water with freezing temperatures above you is absolute heaven. <br /><br />Getting out?

He was annoying and I still don't know the rules of his country's handball game.<br /><br />When you get to Juneau, take the fam on the 'Pilot's Choice' helicoptor tour through TEMSCO helicoptors (not through the ship). Contact Mary at 907.789.9501 to set it up. Ask for pilot Skip. He's an older guy and brought along the mechanic's 6th grade son for a ride when we went (which we thought was a very good sign!) It is well worth the 2nd mortgage you will need to take everyone :). Seriously. Just do it. It was my 11 year olds favorite part of the week. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=114030&id=100001063718697<br />Email our dog Zoey if you want more info.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17729679232712116997noreply@blogger.com
