It's been a long time since I've posted but wanted to stop in to wish all the dads a very special day. We're headed to our youngest son & daughter-in-law's house, Steve & Katie, for a picnic with her parents and our oldest son and daughter-in-law, Matt & Meredith. What could be better?
Coming in a very close second is the preparation for our July 4th departure for the Letterboxing Cruise to Alaska!!! 31 letterboxers have signed up and most will do the 5 optional days on land visiting Fairbanks, Denali National Park and Anchorage. The balance will join us in Seward, AK when we board the Celebrity Millennium on Friday, July 8 for 7 nights exploring the Inside Passageway heading south. We'll be visiting the Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and finally disembarking in Vancouver, Canada on Friday, July 15.
We're pleased to say that we have cruisemates from all over the country including Florida, Arizona, California, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachussetts, Oregon to name a few. We're shocked that 29 people, besides Sue & I, are joining us on this trip with the economy as bad as it is. Must be the fact that Alaska seems to be on everyone's bucket list!
Our cruisemates are all getting very excited as the 2 week mark nears. This is the longest Pinecone Adventure we've ever arranged. We all received great group rates, a $25 shipboard credit and a free Martini Tasting session on board. Plus we're hoping to get permission to box on the ship and there are those great boxes planted in the port cities that we'll be visiting! Add to that the sun setting at 11:30pm which will help to make for long, fun-filled days!!! We're bringing our new camera, monopod and a diary to write down our thoughts during our trip so look for that trip report here once we get back.
