Alaska

Jax and I are just back from a trip to Alaska. It was a two week trip with a few days in Vancouvor Canada (more on that later) before a 6 day, wait for it, CRUISE!!!!
It was a family trip. My mum had always wanted to go and when someone offers you a trip to Alaska you don't say no, do you. It was an amzing experience. The first time we had had a family holiday since I was about 15 I think. We met up with my brother, his wife Tammy and his Mother in Law. He lives in the states so it was a quick trip cross country for them to meet up with us in Vancouvor to board the Ferry. I mean Cruise Ship. The cruise took in 3 ports of call on the way to Seward and a couple of days cruising the fjords looking at glaciers and trying to spot wildlife. The ship was able to hold 1200 guest and had 560 staff on board, and lots of food.............

At port in Skagway.

Our ship the MS Statendam from the air.

It could be Scotland but really it is a misty Fjord in Alaska.


Everything is bigger in America!!!


My Brother Dave and his wife Tammy (wondering What the????)

At the end of the cruise Jax and I got to spend a few days in Anchorage while the rest headed home. We stayed in a great hotel with some interesting artwork on the walls........... We didn't cathc any of it by the way.
