Ketchikan, Tuesday, June 26th

We awoke this to land. It is very overcast and with a slight drizzle. Within an hour we had docked at Ketchikan along side two Princess ships. We are having breakfast before we disembark. We aren't that interested in shopping and have no excursions scheduled, so there is no hurry. Spotted several eagles this morning.

 

 

We left the ship in the cold drizzle, the no rain dance failed. It really isn't that cold, probably around 60, but it is wet. We had an umbrella in our room, so it was tolerable. All we really wanted to do is ride the funicular railroad to Cape Fox Lodge to take a picture of our ship. Mission accomplished we rode back down. We took photos of a couple of totem poles, which abound and walked along creek street, just to see Dolly's house, went in a couple of stores that were offering free stuff and back to the ship within two hours. We decided the food on board is just as good or better than we could get in town. A couple people who were buying expensive stuff said the prices were good, as everything is duty free.

Wow, it sounds like you are having a wonderfully relaxing voyage with lots of great food, drink, and vistas. Enjoy because when you get back we are going to be BUSY! The iPads are OFFICIAL! John just called. He's going to fax the purchase order tomorrow and they ship on Friday! Because it's the end of the quarter, they want to get it on this quarter's books! Anyway, now John can lie awake worrying about how to pay for them. Enjoy the rest of your voyage. I'm enjoying the blog.
