Well, unless you count tomorrow, Day 12 as a day. I suppose, officially, it *kind of* is, but… So, Day 11… Today was a day at sea. It was a very busy day at sea. Up and at ’em at 7am. It was tough waking up this morning, what with the time change last night…

Ah-ha, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah On the road to Shambra-la. OK, this is more a of a Shangri-La, but…. Welcome to Day 10 I can’t believe I’ve been on vacation for 10 days… It’s amazing to me that I could be on vacation for this long and not want to go back…

OMG! So tired. So exhausted. Could go to sleep, but must finish my daily ritual… And so it is on Day 9 of the Exhausting Alaskan Advenuture… What a day it has been! All the usual early morning activiites: breakfast at 7, tai chi at 8. Headed to the Crow’s Nest for a bit more…

So, how about you? Are you getting tired of writing this epic travelogue as well? Oh well, we all gotta be doin’ somethin’! Hello, and welcome to Day 8 of the Great Alaskan Adventure! Looking out the Starboard window from the Lido Cafe, I see another ship pacing us. Is it chasing us? Is it…

Early morning rising… Well, yes and no. We didn’t get up until 7am. Turned out to be a VERY lazy morning. Actually, so did the entire day! Tai chi at 8am. Learned new forms. Something about brushing a wild horse or something like it. I like Tai Chi a lot. Wanna find a new class…

We’ve boarded an alien pleasure vessel. In the interest of “research,” we’ve been sampling all of the alien leisure activities. The morning began at 6:30am. Though we don’t necessarily ‘like’ being up early, duty called. First it was a bit of grub from the cantina on the Lido deck. Gruel. Oatmeal. And exotic fruits (melon,…

I think it’s Day 5. It’s all blending together…in a good way! Started the day later than usual: slept until 6:30am. It was wonderful to be able to start the day late. Okay, all things are relative, including the state of lateness in my day! Up and at ’em at 6:30, I took my leisurely…

Arrived at Fairbanks at 7:45, 15 minutes ahead of schedule, after a rickety ride on the Alaskan Railroad. Well, it seemed rickety, probably because we were going so much faster than yesterday. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant ride. It was only four hours, so that may have had something to do with it.Imagine, a four…

Slept in today. Didn’t get up until 5:45am. Felt good, except that I didn’t got to bed until 11:15pm last night. What was I thinkin’? I mean, I know it was still daylight outside, but haven’t I learnt my lesson yet? Showered, packed and were out of the room by 6:30 so we could get…

Up bright and early! This 5 am crap is going to get old soon!Started the day off with a nice half-hour walk. Good thing we did, as it ended up being the only real exercise we got all day! Caught a bus to the train terminal at 7:15am. Dropped off at the door of our…
