PLANNING TO ESCAPE !!!

I know we aren't the only ones who are dreaming of escaping this horrible weather.........
My heart goes out to all those on the Northeast without power due to storms.......
Those in the Florida without homes due to flooding....
Those in Arizona & Colorado without homes due to fire........
Here in the deep south we are suffering from triple digit temps, horrible humidity and drought..........


However we see relief on the horizon! My son Todd and his wife Lori are taking us on a 7 day cruise !!!
NO....this is not our luggage but it's close at least in the amount!
Packing is real intense since it requires packing for 2 seasons because...........
We are going to ...........
We will tour Alaska's Inside Passage............



ABOARD............

We'll fly out of New Orleans to San Fransisco then on to Seattle...........
First port is Juneau where it's 49 degrees right now. Expected normal temps for our cruise week are 65 high/48 low.....ahhhhhhhhhh heavenly! However right now now they are running below normal.


In Juneau we will visit the Mendenhall Glacier..........
And go Whale Watching...........

Next stop....Skagway........




We will board the White Pass/Yukon Railroad to Canada........


Eat lunch and do some Gold Panning.........



Then we'll cruise the gorgeous Tracy Arms Fjord...........



Where lots of Grizzlies are seen...........



On to Ketchican.................


We are going wildlife exploring, Dungress Crabbing and get to have an outdoor Crab Feast...


Next stop.... Victoria BC for a walking tour.......


Then much to our dismay....
Back to this heatwave.............



Where I'll be dreaming of getting this awesome Swim Spa...........



However this better suits out budget !! How creative is this??



SO.........Do any of you have a planned escape
Stay cool and remember, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
