Snapshots from Alaska

Good Morning! (at least it's morning here in Alaska, four time zones behind my usual Eastern zone ... jet lag will probably cripple me when I get home.). Today we are in beautiful Talkeetna, just outside Denali National Park. We plan to have breakfast, then hit the road to see what Denali has to offer.

I have a few photos here on the iPad that I can share with you. Something is going on with the photo gallery, and my camera and my iPad are not talking to each other right now ... I plugged my camera into it on the second day of the cruise, and the process is still spinning in a loop trying to download the second photo ... which isn't there because I unplugged the camera right when I noticed what was happening. I know it will probably be a simple fix, but I'm not wasting vacation time to find out how to do it. That can wait till I'm home.




My favorite day on ship was our sail through Glacier Bay. It was late in the day before I thought to capture a few shots with my iPad camera, so you will have to wait till I'm home next week to see the best stuff.




As we left Glacier Bay, I went inside with my book (which is here in the iPad) and sat in one of the ship's lounges to read, relax, and enjoy the retreating scenery.




The views throughout our Alaskan travels have been awe inspiring. Our first night on land was in a B&B outside of Anchorage, and this was the view from the upstairs loft.




We have four more days to travel and absorb the wonders of Alaska. Each of them is packed with things to see and do. I have absolutely fallen in love with this beautiful state!
