Alaska, that’s right! We’re on the Road Again to Alaska. We recently had the opportunity to go to Alaska on a seven day cruise from Vancouver, BC with the Holland America Line.
She Who Must be Obeyed and I arrived in Vancouver in early July for departure on this once in a lifetime Alaska Cruise. My 4 brothers and their wives also joined us for this adventure. We had been planning the family trip for more than a year, in fact most of the planning and coordination was handled by Robert, all the others had to do was to show up.

We all arrived in Vancouver on July 6th for our departure the next day, July 7th and that is SWMbO’s birthday and she was turning … well we won’t get into that. Added to which Marc’s wife Kathleen would be celebrating her birthday while we were at sea.
