I’ve gone back through and inserted pictures into most of the trip posts here, and the whole album is posted at http://gallery.me.com/janineanne (along with all of our wedding pictures, if anyone hasn’t seen those yet and wants to).

Enjoy!

Yes, it was kind of a bummer that I was sick for the entire cruise. And not all of our time ashore was as much fun as it could have been. But it doesn’t matter; this was still one of, if not the, best vacations I’ve ever been on. There was something amazing about traveling from place to place effortlessly, without even having to change hotel rooms, and having a choice of food and entertainment at virtually all hours.

And this was our honeymoon… I feel even closer to Wayne than I did before we left, though I would not have thought that was possible. He planned this whole trip and he was *awesome* – he took care of things but was considerate of what I wanted, he was patient with my occasional limitations, and we had a great time just being together. It almost didn’t matter what we did, but the fact that we were doing really fun stuff just made it even better.

Cruising isn’t appropriate for every vacation, and it has a few drawbacks, but I think we will definitely be doing this again. Next time to somewhere warm, so we can spend more time outside!

The virus finally claims its victim…

Today was my birthday! I’ll spare you trying to guess, it’s number 47. I’m getting oooold! :)

I’ve read a lot of complaints online about Prince Rupert, but it was my favorite stop.  It didn’t seem touristy-fake like the others did.  The lack of stuff to do (aka tacky overpriced tourist schock and jewelry) was a-ok with me.

In which we take a helicopter ride, and not only survive but actually enjoy the experience.  Ok, Wayne wasn’t too worried, but I was.

Several glaciers from a distance, and snow up close and personal;  *now* it feels like Alaska.

Paddling a canoe, going on a “hike” (more like a stroll) and trying not to completely succumb to a virus were all high on the day’s agenda.

Keeping this many people entertained when it’s impossible to leave the ship is a big job, but Norwegian does a pretty good job of it.  Now if they could only do something about the food…

Standing in the longest checkin line of our lives wasn’t part of the plan, but we got through it and set sail.
