Another Quick Trip Update

We're currently sailing away from Hubbard Glacier, which was a decidedly impressive sight. The weather's been kind of chill and drizzly, but they had blankets and hot cocoa available up on deck, and we had a pretty good view of the glacier from the balcony of our stateroom, too. (Though, personally, I haven't minded the cool damp weather much at all. It makes a nice change from the desert. Even if it was actually raining a bit in New Mexico when I left.)

Yesterday we were in port in Skagway, where we took a ride on a narrow-guage railroad through an area featuring some beautiful scenery and rich in Alaskan gold rush history. Tomorrow we're putting into port in Ketchikan (I hope I'm spelling that right; I don't have the info in front of me), which is supposed to be a good place to go shopping, though, unlike my family members, I think I'm starting to get a little tired of looking at the same tourist stuff.

I'm still definitely enjoying shipboard life. Tonight, I'm planning on a soak in the indoor whirlpool tub and probably going to a midnight comedy show. Oh, and stuffing my face with still more excellent food, though that kind of goes without saying...
