Now you have a REAL reason to run screaming. I'm back. I haven't had time to read more than a week of posts on the forum or to conjure up a prediction for tonight's race at Richmond. But let me tell you I had a great time in the 49th state! Not only is it beautiful, but I had three generations of my family on board with me, I finally got enough to eat, and even though I was flying standby/space available, the flights all went clickity. No room for improvement anywhere. Glacier Bay is still one of the most spectacular places I've ever been. And Skagway is still my kind of town.

Picture this:
My head sticking up out of the hottub into a cold rain on a ship cruising the Inside Passage - A five-course dinner every evening - Whales, bald eagles, light houses, glaciers, waterfalls, music and comedy, and people speaking a dozen different languages. Now I know why people work all their lives looking forward to retirement.

I just wanted to make everybody jealous.
