Canadian Rockies and Alaska
Hello, after a week at sea in Alaska I am now back on dry land .... had a great week, seen loads of whales, bald eagles even a bear... the weather was fantastic, visited, Ketchikan, Juneau, the Endicott Arm to see the glacier, then onto Skagway, and the last stop was Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Had some nice dinner and watched a couple of shows on the ship, check out ... www.whatanightribute.com a fantastic group of guys, doing all the Frankie Valli songs, I really enjoyed it, makes me now want to go and see Jersey Boys. I am back in Vancouver for a couple of nights, sailed out of Seattle, that was a fiasco last Saturday, I arrived at the Canada/USA border at 09.30 and was eventually processed and on our way at 15.10 !!!! yeah 5.5 hours at the border, welcome to the USA ... the ship was due to sail at 16.00 and I was still 113 miles away 2 hours driving ... NCL were great and the Captain was wonderful he waited for us but it was a close thing, we had just under 200 people on our group... a lot to leave behind .. would have been a major headache for us... but all was well, had a drink with the Captain a couple of nights later and he was good about it ... but thanks to everyone at NCL. Well I think thats about it for today, I am taking a group of Vancouver Island on Sunday, visiting Victoria and the famous Butchart Gardens, a full day ahead 13 hours from door to door.
