Alaska day 2 Inside Passage


Slept all night and part of the morning, that damn jet-lag always gets me. The inside passage is a very cool geographical formation. There are very large mountains right next to the ocean on both sides, just a phenomenal sight. Lucky for us, our balcony was right under a cantilever extension from the floor above because it was raining like a mofo. The temperature had also dropped from 80 in Boston to 70 in Vancouver to 57 in the inside passage. The ship has an indoor salt water heated (98 degrees) pool that is just marvelous for relaxing all those aching muscles and reminding my arm that warm is good...cold is bad.

Life on board is an easy routine, breakfast, book, look out, latte, lunch, book, pool, latte, look out, shower, dinner, sleep, repeat. At least those are the sea days. This was a 3 book trip, all of them good I might add.
