Our travels this summer took us to the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park. With perfect weather for the entire eight days, we immersed ourselves in the beauty and majesty of the mountains, streams, and wildlife viewing. This completes our goal of visiting all the major national parks in this country. Each one is unique and has many treasures to discover. Now who knows where we will go next? (I have a few ideas!)

My husband and I were back on my brother's boat, this time in Alaska. We traveled from Ketchikan to Wrangell, Petersburg, and Juneau in two weeks. The weather gods smiled on us, and most days were sunny. I never got tired of looking at the snow capped mountains, the millions (it seemed) of eagles, and the beautiful scenery everywhere. We also saw whales, but no bears, since the salmon hadn't started their migration yet. We cruised in waters where cruise ships do not go, so many days we saw no other sign of human life! Most nights were spent at anchor in quiet and secluded coves. It was a wonderful adventure.

This time we are heading south, on a cruise ship from Los Angeles, through the Panama Canal, and ending at Ft. Lauderdale. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We made several stops along the Pacific coastline - Cabos san Lucas, Acapulco, Huatulco, and Costa Rica. Here's a picture of our ship heading through the locks.
