hello from alaska

i have survived 2 days on the ship. it's kinda creepy. even though the ship is only 6 years old, the decor screams 1982. seriously. it's hilarious. there are lighted sprial staircases and lots of mirrored signs. and the color scheme. don't even get me started!

yesterday was a bit rough, we hit some really rough water, but no puking, so that's awesome.
our room vibrates all of the time; it's like having a "magic fingers" bed that never shuts off. i am now somewhat used to it.

today we landed in ketchikan and took a 3.5 hour boat tour of misty fjord. it was beautiful. so many waterfalls; and lots of marine life! then we had about 45 minutes to shop ... which of course i made the most of!

the ship is now en route to juneau. we'll spend all day there tomorrow. just got finished with afternoon tea and am now headed back to the boardroom for a nap.

so far it's been a very relaxing trip; i have knocked out a lot of reading and am making fabulous progress on the DS version of yoshi's island. i even hit the treadmill!
