As is normal when I know I have to wake up early in the morning, I barely slept on our last night of the cruise. I had set my alarm clock for 5.30am as I wanted to be outside on deck as we sailed into Vancouver.

After another good night’s sleep we woke up to what would be the last full day of our Alaskan cruise onboard the Disney Wonder. We were due to be at sea all day before arriving back into Vancouver the following morning. After getting dressed we headed to a very empty Triton’s for breakfast. (more…)
Today was the first day of the week that we were able to have a proper lay-in and a lazy morning as we were not due to dock into Ketchikan until 12:15pm.

The bad weather did not come as a huge shock though as it had been forecast. (more…)

We had nearly finished getting ready for the day when the ship started to dock in Skagway. (more…)
Just off the SR-64 in Valle, Arizona on the drive from Williams to the Grand Canyon South Rim, you can find a unique little park called Bedrock City based on the Flintstones. (more…)
