David at our traditional road trip starting point, Starbucks. |
Me, in the bathroom of the Orlando airport. I take these photos for the sole purpose of bugging Shirley. |
David, having lunch at the MN airport. |
Us, waiting for the last leg of our flight to Vancouver. |
David and I at the pier in Vancouver. This was really the only day it rained the whole trip. |
Shirley made a new friend. These were all over the city, I think it's a similar project to the sea turtle one here where local artists paint them for charity. |
Waiting in the hotel lobby for our bus to be called. |
The hotel was pretty fancy and nice until we opened our drapes and saw a guy peeing in the alley. |
Still waiting for our bus to be called. |
The pier was only about 1/2 mile from the hotel, but we had a ton, you might even say "a boatload" of luggage. |
David looking for birds while we were still in the Vancouver port. |
Vancouver was a neat city. Many buildings had grass or trees growing on them. Click to enlarge this picture to see the forest on this building. |
Georgie, photographing Vancouver. |
The port building was neat, it reminded me a lot of the airport in Colorado. |
We finally started moving, here are David and Shirley giving the thumbs up. |
Lynn and Georgie giving the thumbs up. I was too, but I was taking the picture. |
This is a big bridge we went under leaving Vancouver. |
This is my first picture of Alaska. This is Ketchican, the first port we stopped in. |
Me and Shirley on deck waiting to disembark at Ketchican. |
Georgie, Shirley and David on deck. |
Georgie, Shirley and Lynn. |
It was way colder than I was expecting. I bought myself a sexy new hat. OK, not really sexy, but it kept my little ears toasty! |
One of the dining rooms on the ship had a kitty in it that reminded me of Barty! |
Another view of the area from the ship. Been a while since I've seen snow. Haha! Turns out I don't really miss it! |
Our first critter, a bald eagle. |
Our second critter, a freaking HUGE eagle! |
This was a weird little bar in Ketchican. The Jack Nicholson in the window was kinda freaky. |
This was living on the dock in Ketchican. I don't know what it was. It had too many legs to be an octopus. Maybe a squid? Update: According to Heather and John, this is a sun seastar. |
A townsend's warbler. |
A banana slug. This was a life critter for me. I really liked the slugs here. I tried to find an ID guide for them, but couldn't find one. I guess I'm the only one who wanted to know! |
Hmm. Some kind of sparrow or something? |
Another terrible picture of a kingfisher. This is my nemesis bird, I don't think I will ever get a good picture. |
David, e-birding. |
Us, waiting for the bus back to the boat. |
David, in front of the eagle statue. |
