Greetings from Juneau! We're currently anchored away from the dock, waiting for the Spirit to leave. (Go already, darn Spirit!) We saw bunches of whales yesterday and especially today on our way in -- both orcas and "regular" whales or some kind.

This connection is painfully slow, so I'm going to sign off. Oooh! the Spirit is leaving! Time to get ready to go ashore!

I read on the CC boards that the Star skipped Glacier Bay last week- hope you guys get there!

Eh, it's all been wonderful so far and it's been free to me, so who am I to complain? Besides, today it was in the 80s (!!!) in Juneau. The magic show is GREAT! You have to go.

Wow-that is a lot warmer than I would have guessed! I hope it can hang on a few more weeks, but if it rains, I am prepared....(got my trusty Mickey Tarp from DCA). :D

Awesomeness. Hope you're having a blast, Pru! :)

This is the most amazing weather ever. My perception of Alaska is now 85 and sun, sun, sun!

As I said elsewhere, I have a belly full of a great meal from Le Bistro, a head fuzzy from too much wine, and just learned that my summer grades were probably enough to keep me in the top 10, maybe even 5%, but not so good that I'll have to accept a position on law review, which would have consumed the last of my free time.

It doesn't get much better than this!

Well, except maybe tomorrow night... chocolate buffet!

Heh heh- I busted Prudence at the CC site- she had a different name, but I knew it was her! (Everyone was freaking because the prior cruise had to miss Glacier Bay, so Prudence very graciously updated and reassured all). Glad to hear things are going so well, and I can't wait until my turn!:snap:

I'm back. And instead of being all happy and reminiscing fondly over my trip, I am in the grips of a momentarily crippling post-vacation depression the likes of which I don't recall ever having suffered before. The family all dispersed, I'm back in the land of responsibility, and I feel so desperately lonely here rattling around in our condo. Despair hangs heavy. I'm sure I'll shake this off eventually, but right now this sucks. So no photos until I get over this.

That's how I felt after the B-Day, Prudence- I understand. Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the fun updates while enroute!:snap::cheers::snap:

I know where you are coming from. Try posting some photos and talking about it. I feel better already!
