Seattle and Alaska

About a year and a half ago I went on a cruise out of Seattle to Alaska, I know this is mainly a retirement cruise but I jumped at the opportunity to go and explore the beautiful sights of Seattle, Alaska and Canada. We flew into Seattle a day early to explore and for me to take pictures of this beautiful city and of course to order a drink from the original Starbucks. The flowers and fish at the public market are nothing short of huge and amazing and i could not get over how inexpensive the pricing was there. The next day we boarded the ship and off I went to explore, I always like the first night and next day because you usually are at sea all day and that is the perfect opportunity to fully explore the ship and get your bearings. We ported in Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria BC. The weather was cold and rainy and in Juneau while at Mendenhall Glacier we had 18 hours of day light.  I love going on cruises because you get to see so many different places in a weeks time and each city is unique and different.. Until then..... Bon Voyage
