Finding Joy in Snarkville

This blog entry is costing me per minute.  I’d strongly suggest that you read it slowly to get the full effect and most enjoyment out of my pricey post.

First, I’m in Alaska.  Folks, I’m closer to the Artic Circle than I am to you — except the reader from Alaska –which, hey, HI!!!  I’m also, enjoying the sunniest 80 degree day that Juneau has probably ever seen.

I’ve done things I’ve never done before, including a zip line tour of a rainforrest — one line was 750 feet long and 150 up in the air.  I LOVED it.  I have seen both black and brown bears, killer whales, AND about 6 humpback whales.  The latter of this list, I saw while feeding on herring and they are amazing.  I will have photos for you when I’m back — prepare now to be in awe — and I don’t mean my photo skills. 

Other things I’ve done that I never thought I would do.  Travel alone.  Yup, Prince and Duke are not with me — and I miss them HORRIBLY, but I have a feeling the boys have had fun this week too.  Sent a bottle of wine to a complete stranger — Yup, well he is a client, and he sent me a bottle first.  FWIW, Cakebread Cellars makes an awesome wine.  Danced in the disco every single night of the cruise thus far.  Yes, I said every single night.

I’ve got so much to tell you about this trip, but I must run away for a little bit.  I return to normal life soon.

(and as our captain says with every announcement — Queen, Out. — Well, he says, just “out.”  And he’s Greek an perhaps YOUNGER than me.)
