New Brunswick

A whirlwind trip to New Brunswick to my sister-in-law's place.



The skies are so clear!!


Lots of birds.




The neighbours horses come running when the apples get collected off the lawn.


Wild blueberries being harvested by the neighbours.



Miles and miles of wind turbines.


We traveled over to PEI by bridge.

It's all about the weather!

Well did we get lucky. Everyday has been sunny, a few clouds floating by, but over all great weather. Yesterday was 27 degrees in Skagway and today it got up to 18. Last stop today is Ketchikan and then we are on the marine highway towards home tomorrow, arriving Saturday morning.

Internet service has been by satellite most days and it takes way too long for uploading pictures, but today Sandra and I are sitting on our balcony enjoying free wifi (from someone out there near the dock) Thankyou.

Here's my gray whale sighting the other day:



and a few sunbathers out on the buoy:

Day 2

Did I tell you the food on a cruise ship is great? The downside is I'm not doing nearly the walking we were in Europe. Mmmm this is going to have to change if I don't want to miss a meal. Today is cloudy and cool, so no suntanning on the deck for us. Tomorrow we cruise up Tracy Arm and then head into Juneau.

On Board

Yes, we are on board, enjoyed a great lunch and are now relaxing "waiting for take off". Oh and dinner!!!

Internet is about dial up speed, so pix will be at a minimum until we find a faster connection.

I'm leaving with my parents and sister on May 22nd for Alaska.
