Alaska

Terry and I are heading off on our Alaska trip. We'll fly to Vancouver where we'll board the ship and then spend a week cruising the coastline of Alaska. We'll dock at Whittier, Alaska and take the train to Denali for a few days. We'll then go by bus …oh, I mean motor coach… to Anchorage and fly home.

It's been a long time, if ever, that we've taken a vacation this long. It will be a new experience for me with my scaled-back camera approach. We've been on cruises before, but on older ships. This will be our first cruise on a newer ship.

We're excited.

As for blogging and Facebook, we'll see what happens. Princess says the on-board satellite internet is slow, and, I suspect, it is expensive as well. Still, I would like to share the occasional photo and a personal reflection now and again. I'm going to play it by ear. I'm thinking I'll need a week to recover and reorient after the trip, so don't expect to see a daily blog here again until Monday 6 June.

But I trust I'll be in touch intermittently between now and then, either via Facebook or here.
