I'm back! I had an awesome time. I never realized how big Alaska was lol! The landscape is so beautiful, the water is a pretty jade color, and the weather was mostly good- although a bit cold! :p Here's some pics I was able to resize. I've been so busy unpacking, taking care of business, and sleeping due to jet lag. MORE PICS coming soon! :flag:

cool i did the same thing like 3 years ago, did you go on one of those DAM ships(i was on the veendam i think) i was sharing a room with my uncle(hes like a overgrown kid, hes liek 43 and has had 1 job his whole life, he lives off of his 7 roomates ) well anyway the first night my whole family went to one of the fancier dinners, and it said guys must wear a jacket, my uncle comes walking in with one of the life jackets from his room as a joke. i guess they thought it was funny too cause they didnt kick him out. The next day it was like 12 and i wanted to wake him up so I opened all the windows and the big ole french doors (we had a balcony) and you could see the icebergs floating by. Then i ran and grabbed all his sheets and threw them in the shower. about 1/2 later I went to go take a shower and I came walking out with a towel around my waist. my uncle grabbed me, pushed me out into the hall and then ripped off the towel and locked the door. So im butt ass naked in the middle of the hallway on this cruise ship. I had to run like 6 rooms down to get into my grandmas room before it got out of hand. later on at one of the stops we all rented bikes and went and checked out this place with totem poles and stuff. to get back at him i disconnected his brakes on his bike and he ended up running into a totem pole and getting 4 stiches. dam that was funny as hell
 
yeah, we went on the Carnival Spirit.

Cruises are expensive..... total cost of vacation for 4 people was 12,000 bucks! Ouch!

One thing to learn.. don't buy excursions from the cruise lines. When you are in port at the town, get off the ship and get the tours from a place in town. We paid 200 bucks a person for a train ride up a mountain, some of our friends went on the same train but it only cost 30 per person since they bought the tickets from the depot in town. DAMN! :bang:

The people attack you there.. "WANT A DRINK, REFILL, MASSAGE, PHOTOGRAPH??!!" That all adds up over a course of a week! :bang:

We learned what to do and not to do, but the trip was definitely amazing and worth every penny. :banana:
