Arrival in Anchorage

In the spring of 1999, my wife, Linda, and I took an Alaska cruise and inland tour. Linda's been eager to do the Alaska Cruise for years. I've resisted because I associate cruises with warm weather and piña coladas. Naturally, she prevailed. Alaska, as I'd seen during two business trips in the 70's is a magnificent place. Neither words nor pictures can convey the grandeur of the place. As a bonus, the people are probably the nicest on earth.

Arrival in Anchorage

June 7, 1999

Check-in at the Captain Cook Hotel was a bit of a fiasco. We checked in through Princess but they didn't have enough staff to handle it and weren't totally prepared. One woman kept saying, "This is totally my fault." Certainly made me feel better. We signed up for tomorrow's "DC3 Nostalgic Flight" and walked to the mall to buy more film - I'm going through it like water. Didn't like the price so I bought nothing. We met Frank & Pat for dinner at Simon and Seafort's. I had excellent reindeer medallions. (If there's no Christmas this year, it'll be my fault.) Said goodbye to Frank & Pat since they had booked only one night in Anchorage while we had two. We'll be following a day behind them from now on. We walked a bit before going to bed. I woke during the night around 2:30; it was still pretty bright outside!
