This is your idea of relaxing

Slept like a baby. The ship had a ever so gentle rock that made me feel like a baby must feel when being rocked in its mothers arms. Stacy however was up at 4:30am (still on East Coast time) and working on a talk. Then he was watching a nature show about Bears in Alaska. Then he was looking at me to see how much longer I was going to sleep.


My alarm went off as usual but that did nothing to rouse me. Stacy and I exchanged a few words and I drifted off to sleep again. Once up, I realized I was about to miss my planned morning stretch class in the Sky Observation Lounge. Stacy was ready to eat. So he went down for food and I went up for fun. And I soon realized I made the wrong choice as I had to walk on the outside deck to get to my class. Couldn’t turn back now - so I braved the serious winds (although not that cold surprisingly) to get to the class.


Met up with Stacy as he was chatting it up with a older couple on their first cruise who were just teasing him that he didn’t have a wife and was just ordering another breakfast for himself. Next on my agenda was an Alaskan destination seminar, a couples massage masterclass, a Cha-Cha ballroom dance class, axe-throwing and Stacy wanted to do a trivia game.


Guess what we did? After the seminar, we came back to the room. Shortly afterwards, Stacy realized it was almost time for lunch to begin in the main dining room. After lunch we found the library, read some books, then found another cafe and had some sweet treats, then went to get some sorbet and then it was time for a nap. Stacy says eating is an activity. And that is a McCloud Relaxation Masterclass. I did manage to get a short video of the dance class in session so we can practice at home.


I sure hope these pictures are coming through. I’ll be able to double check when I get to Juneau! Hoping the service will be better. 









Stacy enjoyed the Silent Disco! Probably because no one could tell if his moves didn’t match the beat of the music.

Well this is going to be interesting!

As most of you know, today Stacy and I celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary! And we are off to explore two of earth’s most iconic places: Alaska and Hawaii. Given the very different temp states, this trip, although still technically in the US was more challenging to pack for than our 2 week British Isles trip last summer.  But with a last minute large second bag decision, we’ve got IT ALL packed and we are ready to go. First flight to Salt Lake City, UT and then to Vancouver, British Columbia. And we got a mini upgrade plus the exit row so Stacy is happily scrolling the entertainment options as we await departure.  We are so happy to share this latest adventure with you.

Utah without the Jazz

We had an easy flight from RDU to SLC and Stacy attempted to get some pictures of the mountains as we landed. Enjoy the view. Shortly after we arrived, we got the sad news of the loss of one our dearest friends. There are some people who bring so much sunshine to the lives of others that they can’t keep it from themselves. Here’s my favorite picture of me and my dear brother James. This will be another test of patience as we wait to see him again.

Who’s that girl?

So when Sydra told me I should wear my new hat on this trip, Stacy was a little skeptical. He even asked, where are you going to put that thing. Well, this outfit was a hit! Had folks switching lanes in the airport shuffle to complement. And then guess who was walking with a little extra dap in his step.  But then I got him good on our final flight to Vancouver. He was watching some race car movie with his headphones in and he almost missed it thinking it was another announcement about us coming in for a landing. But he came to realize the flight attendant was talking about him when she said “. . . congratulations on their 28 yr anniversary” and everyone on the plane started clapping. Then she said ring your call button so we will know where you are.  Stacy was in shock.😳 So I had to ring the button and the guys sitting across the aisle got TOO excited and started yelling “it’s them!” And then the couple behind us said they will have been married 53 years in August so we joke...
