Alaskan Cruise

Last week Ryan and I went on a cruise to Alaska on the Norwegian Star. Here are a few pics.


On the ship:





Ketchikan: Our group of 10 went zip-lining through the Alaskan rainforest at about 160+ feet for 2 hours.
Juneau: Half of our group went fishing and only 1 caught a fish, but it was HUGE. The rest of us took a float plane for 20 or so minutes to a little island with a great view of a HUGE glacier. At the lodge on the island they fed us Alaskan salmon and we went on a hike to look at a waterfall before getting back on the float plane to our ship. Skagway: Most of us took a train ride through the White Pass for 2 hours, finishing in Canada. From there we biked mostly downhill 20 miles (through customs back into Alaska) and all the way down to skagway. Amazing views
We didn't really take any pics of Prince Rupert, B.C. Canada. It wasn't all that exciting.

What an incredible vacation. I've been on 4 other cruises and although fun, this had the best destinations and we were very lucky to have great jacket weather, but no precipitation. Thanks again to everybody for making this such an enjoyable time.

What an amazing trip! That looks like the best! I would love to do something like that. I didn't know you worked for 24 hour. That's awesome! I work for the Washington City Community Center. Sounds like a little gym but it is a huge new awesome facility. I teach BootCamp, Pilates, Hip Hop, Aqua, Turbo Kick and almost anything else. I love teaching! what do you do? Wasn't the Biggest Losers Camp such a great Experience!? I want to hear all about yours! :)
