Summer 25: Week 6

 Alaska 7.0 Wrap

The ten day trip to Alaska was just amazing.  We had high expectations and everything exceeded them by far, especially the "Glacier Trifecta" as we spent time among the majestic glaciers on three separate days.  Just stunning landscapes!  I had an excellent day of racing on the travel day out to Alaska and was unsure if I'd play while we were gone.  With a lot of "free time" on board I decided I could play some races but found that all racing websites were blocked.  Played on race, and won - the Grade 3 Manilla - when I saw online that Zulu Kingdom was entered.  That day when we got off the ship for our excursion I got off the Wi-Fi from the ship and made the bet.  After the excursion, watched the race and cashed my ticket!

Each stop was amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed being on the water for more than half of the trip, including two days on smaller ships to sail out to the glaciers.


Was delighted to have so many people follow our trip - the more than 1,000 social media hits was a lot for a much longer trip, but for just an 8-day cruise it was big.  And I was particularly thankful for those who commented on the pictures, especially my closest gal-pals on social media.
