All Aboard!




Alaska Cruise Trip Day 1 – Vancouver (still)

After we landed, we took an Uber to the embarkation building.  Three ships were boarding at once!  The line was pretty long, considering approximately 7,300 people were trying to board at the same time.  Surprisingly, the line moved fast.  If only the lines at the DMV would move that fast!

Next Stop–Vancouver




 Alaska Cruise Trip Day 1 – Vancouver

It was beautiful and sunny as we circled for a landing in Vancouver.  As I love bridges, I was enamored with this one crossing the Fraser River.  It's called the North Arm Bridge, and it runs trains up top and bikes and pedestrians underneath.  Vancouver and the surrounding area also have many skyscrapers and highrises.

Cloudy Skies




It's time I started blogging about the Alaskan cruise we took May 12-19, 2024.  Before the butt crack of dawn Sunday morning, we hopped in an Uber and headed to the airport.  Being the night owl that I am, I was running on 2 hours of sleep, making for an addle-brained traveler.  But I was rewarded with fascinating and beautiful clouds all the way to Vancouver.
