We are back from Alaska. Great trip via car, airplane, bus, train, and ship. Spectacular stuff in all directions. Lots of critters. The last part was a cruise from Whittier to Vancouver, and I didn't gain an ounce. I might have even lost one. Even the airport stuff went smoothly. Weather was nearly perfect* and there was lots of hot tub time. It will be a whlle before the pictures are ready, but I will put them on photobucket and/or flickr. I'll post a link here.

*One morning it got down to 39 degrees F, and it sprinkled a little rain at McKinley Lodge in Talkeetma.
