Woke at 430. Took the clothes
that Pauline and Dave had loaned us to their stateroom and then headed up stairs to deck 10.
Another lovely sunrise and
gorgeous coastline.
while journaling, another
cruise ship crossed our path behind us and as I was sitting facing the rear of
the ship at the back of the ship I watched its progress. Very pretty. Cape Decision is Dirks favorite light house and if I had a camera I would have taken take a
photo.
Joel and Paulette Mierau and
I had a lovely conversation about our cruising experience just by Dirks
favorite lighthouse.
Six-thirty now so going to
drop this back in the room and go to the cosmos lounge for a good seat.
the talk was very interesting with some great photo’s of
whales , none of them taken from a cruise ship. Then came the talk about secrets of navigation. Also a very interesting
talk.
Found the girls at lunch around 130 after wandering around deck
10 twice and then we went back to our rooms to get ready for Ketchikan. 200
came and we docked, 230 came and we could get off the ship but still we did not
have our luggage. I was just tired of not having my clothes. So I was a little
grumpy when we left the ship at 3 and still no luggage. They told us they would
bring it to our stateroom later. Yea, well we had heard that one before too.
Ketchikan is a lovely little
town that I have no pictures of. We went into the jewelry shops to get our
free charms and they sold us more jewelry, Dorothy and Shirley both got
chocolate diamond rings. We went into other shops to get reduced items and they
sold us more stuff. I got a pink windbreaker. We went to get stamps and mail
postcards and we did. All in all,
a very successful day for all.
The wind was warm so we were over dressed. The
sun was shining in a place that only gets sunshine for 90 days of the year. We
were very happy. Went into a fur store and found mink scrunchies. Did not buy
one but plan to tell my friend Brenda about them.
We went back to the ship and
Shirley and I got our luggage. Yea! Diane and Dorothy’s luggage was still in security, ?, as the tags had come
off and so had to be picked up personally. Crazy. they went to get their luggage but couldn't because the security people on the ship were all busy getting people on the ship so Diane and Dorothy's luggage had to wait until everyone was back on board.
I was very happy for me and changed into my formal gown for
dinner. I was gorgeous! Well at least I felt gorgeous.
Dinner was very good and I showed off my dress. I am
wearing it tomorrow as well.
After dinner changed into a black outfit with blue grey
scarves and we went to go to the casino but we were still in port so it was not
open yet.
The girls decided to go and change too and I sat with Dave and
Pauline and chatted and listened to music. The singer was very good, if a
little loud. I have decided that in order to be able to wear all the clothes
that I brought I will have to change every two hours tomorrow, so that is what
I am going to do . It will be like a game. Once I wear the outfit I will pack
it Back in the suitcase.
Diane, Dorothy and Shirley came up and we danced in the
aisles on our way to the show. We got there just in time. It was a fun show with a Broadway theme.
Went to the casino after the show. I lost 2 dollars and was starting
to fade fast as it was already after 11 so went back to the room before the
others.
Got things sorted out and hung up and read for a moment. Diane came
in after midnight, but I fell asleep pretty quick and slept right
through.
