THE BLAIRS ARE BACK

LYNNE REPORTS ON THEIR ALASKA TRIP

Finally taking some time to write you about our fantastic vacation to Alaska and Vancouver. Daniel is an expert at planning everything down to the last detail so we had no glitches anywhere we went. Nora, our good friend, came to our home June 5 and we picked up Sandy and proceeded to Derrick and Jennifer's to see the addition and remodeling that is being done on their home. It will be so nice and definitely large. We all went out to eat and then stayed overnight with Daniel and Jon.

A limo picked the six of us up at Daniel and Jon's at 4:30 a.m. June 6. Our flight from O'Hare to Anchorage was smooth and on time. The sight of the snow-covered mountains was a sight to behold. We've seen pictures and movies but they don't do justice. The weather was so perfect with sun and blue skies. The temperature was always high 60's to 70's. How fortunate we were as all of us were taking pictures. There were 2 iPhones, 2 cameras, and my camcorder so we ended up with a couple thousand photos to go through. I will be working on those and my movies for quite awhile. We loved the mountains, train ride to Seward, tram ride, glaciers and waterfalls from the ship. The actual cruise aboard Royal Caribbean Radiance Of The Seas was 7 days with stops and tours. Of course, there was food everywhere we went, especially on the ship. Lots of walking and entertainment too. Just a great trip.

Now back to reality (washing clothes, cooking, going through brochures, souvenirs, and most of all, the photos and movies.
