Alaska part 1










































I tend to remember these moments most. 
Alaska itself was really interesting and I enjoyed Sitka most of all. 
I'm so glad we went. 
cruise ships...are not my thing. i kinda knew that beforehand. 
by the end of the cruise i was wearing my noise cancelling headphones in all public spaces, facing corners at every meal, and avoiding people as much as possible.

Nice! Isn't it "night time" most of the time now (short days)? Maybe you're not that far north. I used to work for ASRC (Arctic Slope Regional Corp)... an Alaskan Native (Inupiat) owned company but have never been, so don't really know.

Yes I think their days are very short this time of year. We went at the end of August and it was pretty rainy about half the time but not too cold or dark yet. How was your Christmas? We had everybody (kids and my Mom) at our house and it was nice and quiet. No political talk allowed... Even though every thing is political. Lol

Sounds like your Christmas holidays were similar to ours. My daughter hosted Christmas again this year. My MiL also stayed the week with her, which was nice (she's 91 now and still very active in both mind and body). They put together a baby shower for my DiL and invited about 20-25 people for the Sunday after Christmas. My brother and SiL also came, and so I was able to catch up on their family (they live in PA). My grand-daughter was born yesterday, New Years Day in the am. She ended up coming by C-Section, so my DiL is still in the hospital ('til Sunday). Her parents flew out from CA and are staying with them in Baltimore County. I still don't have the vitals (name/weight/etc.) but she's healthy and not dependent of any medical interventions (1 month premature).

So yeah, a bit of excitement here. I'm not sure when we'll visit mom and the new arrival. I'll follow my wife's lead on that... she's not super mobile and active like her mom. But I do look forward to meeting our first grandchild and breaking in my "Promoted to Grandfather" coffee mug (Xmas gift)!
