Day 4:
Skagway
In Skagway, we took the White Pass and Yukon Route train for 30 miles into Canada. There were switchbacks, and beautiful bridal veil falls that we saw.
At the top of the pass, we rode our bicycles mostly down hill back to town. What a ride!
I'm not lying, it was a pretty miserable ride down. Rainy. Cold. Dreary.
one of my favorite shots.
Day 5:
Ketchikan, Alaska
We did the traditional "lumberjack show". Quite entertaining!
I loved it when we got dressed up for dinner time.
Jeff and Scott did karaoke one night.
We celebrated precious friendships that
started out in 1 foreign country (Bolivia)
now spans 3 decades,
2 states and 1
country
and 3 marriages
that have produced children
and now many grandchildren for each couple.
Day 6:
The Inside Passage
On Sunday, Sept 10, as Hurricane Irma was making landfall on the state of Florida, we gathered for a worship service. Several other guests on the NCL Sun joined us. One gal, Kim, came into our service with a heavy heart, as her trailer home was right in the path of the storm on the Florida West coast. We cried.
We prayed.
An hour later, Kim left encouraged and with some new friends.
Day 7:
Arriving into Vancouver, British Colombia
Our day in Canada
"Ok, lets follow directions and we can get to our AirBnB!"
We took the subway, city bus and then walking several blocks in the wrong direction, however we recovered and made it to our AirBnB.
We had a plan. Lets explore Stanley Park.
"Where are we going?"
We rode 13 miles around Stanley Park. Had a blast! We stopped several times to soak up the beauty.
We took a bus to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Trees were huge.
The following day, Glenn and I flew on the "red-eye" back to Dallas. Our trip was over. But wait!! Or was it?
Next post will be about our "post-Cruise" adventures.
