gug's Journal, 24 August 2008

On Saturday, I'm going on vacation to Alaska on an all inclusive, 3 meals a day, package tour. 7 days on Ms. Zaandam cruise Ship , then board the Alaska Railroad's “Coastal Classic” to Denali National Park - spend 4 days there, then Jasper National Parkthen, then Banff National Park, then bus back through then Canadian Rockies. We will bring one computer to share between myself and husband, but I don’t think that there will be in internet service on the ship. I hope that it’s not as hectic as my last vacation to China. Where we had very little free time. We took 7 airline trips within China and 7 days on the Yanksee River. We didn’t get back to our hotel until after 9:00 pm on most nights and breakfast was at 7:00 am. We had very little free time. Whenever the group was given a choice of free time or shopping or site seeing or a museum, The group chose site seeing or a museum. I managed to skip lunch a few times in order to go shopping, I didn‘t really care for the food anywayt. I’ll be back on Sept 26th. I’m hoping that I won’t gain too much weight. I really have a hard time saying “no” to all those decadent deserts and hot Hor D'oeuvres, which I know there will be a lot of. I’ll really miss all my FS buddies.
