WE FLEW AROUND 4000 MILES TO GET TO
VANCOUVER, CANADA WHERE THE CRUISE SHIP RADIANCE OF THE SEAS WAS DOCKED. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
IT WAS A WOW TRIP. |

BODIES. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
THE ANXIOUS TRAVELERS WERE HEADING OUT FOR
A TIME OF THEIR LIVES. |

ALONG
THE WAY, I SPENT A LOT OF TIMES WATCHING SUNSETS. THIS WEEK WOULD
PROVE TO BE THE BEST TIME ONE COULD HAVE BEEN IN ALASKA. THE
PICTURES WILL SHOW IT. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
THE HUBBARD GLACIER WAS THE BIGGEST WOW.... |

THAT WE WERE LEAVING BEHIND. |

SCENERY THAT THEIR SHORT SUMMBER WOULD BRING. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
WE DIDN'T SPEND MUCH TIME IN VANCOUVER,
CANADA. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
HOWEVER, WE DID ENJJOY THE TOUR. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
COST OF LIVING THERE IS VERY HIGH, BUT IT
IS THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN CANADA. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
THE WORD SHIPPING WOULD TAKE ON A WHOLE NEW
MEANING AS WE TRAVELED. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
NO FISH IN THE LAKES IN THE AREA. THE
GLACIERS MOVEMENT PRODUCES A VERY GRAY FINE SILT WHICH GETS INTO THE
GILLS. FISH CAN'T LIVE IN IT. |

A PERFECT WEEK OF WEATHER WE HAD. EVERYONE SAID THIS WAS VERY
UNUSUAL. WE WERE ADVISED TO GET OUR RAIN GEAR OUT THE VERY FIRST
HOUR OF THE CRUISE....NEVER HAD IT ON. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
THE CAPITAL OF ALASKA, JUNEAU, WAS A PRETTY
TOWN. THIS WAS TAKEN ON THE 12TH DECK OF THE SHIP. |
| ALASKA VACATION |

OF THE UNLUCKY ONES. |
| ALASKA VACATION |
WE VISITED THE SALMON HATCHERY KNOWN AROUND
THE WORLD. STARTED BY A LOCAL TEACHER, THEY HATCH OUT SEVERAL
MILLION SALMON, TURN THEM LOOSE. 90 % DON'T MAKE IT BACK.
MANY ARE EATEN BY OTHER ANIMALS AND FISH AND OTHER ARE CAUGHT BY
FISHERMAN. THE OTHER 10 % COME BACK TO THE LADDERS OF THE
HATCHERY. THEY KNOW EXACTLY THE SPOT THEY WERE TURNED LOOSE,
THEREFORE COMING HOME TO THAT SPOT..TRULY AMAZING. |
| ALASKA VACATION |

WEEKS OF MID JUNE. |
