I might like to live here, thanks.
I think we left off just after Juneau with the updates. The following day found us at Ketchikan, AK. The four of us took an afternoon cruise around Misty Fjords, where we saw (duh) fjords, humpback whales (ooooh!), and a few harbor seals (aaaah!). After that, we had one more day of sailing before our final destination: The Land of Canada.
Aaah, fjords!
They're fjordastic!
We flew out of Vancouver today to return to our normal lives after 2 weeks of cool weathered vacationiness. I got lucky and ended up being bumped from my Vancouver-Minneapolis-Atlanta flight in favor of a direct to Atlanta Delta flight. I got in a few hours early and everything!
Speaking of Vancouver, we had a nice stopover day there. What a lovely city! We had our final bus tour in the morning and then went to The Fish House in Stanley Park for dinner- very good!
Mutti enjoys Queen Elizabeth Park- for 15 minutes before being herded back onto a bus.
Vancouver! They have a bridge!
After 2 weeks of being herded to and fro by the Holland America folks, we eschewed the coach to the airport this morning and gladly paid for a cab. We all enjoyed not feeling like cattle for 15 minutes before entering the mind-numbing check-in and customs process at the airport. As Doodah is prone to say: "Moooo." We all made it home in one piece (pretty much- poor Mutti got food poisoning in Minneapolis, I hear), and I'm sure the Memphis Quinlens were just as shocked by the heat in their corner of the South as I was by Atlanta's. Yikes!
Thanks for reading, folks!
