It's Alaskan Cruise time!

Cruise to Alaska with us!

We kicked off retirement bliss with a cruise to Alaska, the great frontier, on a eight day dream trip! Some of the great things we experienced are the vistas of the great north west, quaint Alaskan port towns and fun excursions! We joined our friends, Roger and Janie, Stu and Kathy on a trip of a lifetime.
