Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I just got back from an Inside Passage cruise followed by a train ride up to Denali National Park. I don't generally go in for cruises but I have to say this one was great. We are old enough to resist a complete hog fest but we still gained a few pounds. DW and I went out for a 30 mile bike ride this morning to start making up for it. A nice part of the Inside Passage trip is that you are almost never out of site of land so there is always something to see on the cruise. When we headed up to Denali, we were cautioned that only 30% of visitors see Mt. McKinley - it is more often than not hidden by clouds. We got 3 days a gorgeous sun! Any one who likes travel photos can see the whole batch on my family website. Here are a few samplers:
