So for our 10th anniversary, the family and I went on a cruise to Alaska. This was my first cruise and trip to Alaska and I had a blast and probably could have stayed up there for 7 more days. I took way too many pics to post and realized...I need a better camera. We went from Seattle to Juneu then glacier bay, sitka, then Ketchikan and on our way back the ship stopped in Victoria. I did a Jeep/canoe safari in Ketckikan that was a cool but way too short. We went wale watching and saw a bunch of killer whales killing a seal. All in all a great escape..

Glad you had such a good time. That looks like a great vacation.

Traded in all my project vehicles for my 2009 Xterra, not an ounce of buyers remorse.

Hey Benny, I just got back from an Alaskan cruise as well. What cruise line did you go on? Ketchikan is kinda cool right? We also had a fantastic time and not enough of it! Although Im jealous, I didnt get to see any orcas. Just hump backs and lots of seals in the Tracy Arm Fjord.

Just not for that seal ;-p

Cool trip Benny! Regarding the pictures? Yeah, you need to get into Ha$$elblads. Seriously though, I'm sure they don't do the real-life experience justice but they look fantastic to me.

Don't get hung up on the verbiage. Get out there into your unknown.

Benny-

I think that the pics came out great! I also loved an Alaska cruise I took with my parents back in the 6th grade. I've been jonesing to go back ever since.

We were on a Holland America ship the Oosterdam. There were 4 other ships that seemed to follow us around. You could literally hear the money flow when 4 cruise ships dock in Ketchikan..
