Homecoming
This has absolutely nothing to do with Disney. I want to get that out of the way up front. Also, some of what I write here may offend some people. If it does, I’m sorry. But after watching the video below, I felt strongly and I need to vent. And, since I have this particular…

Alaskan Wonders – Part 8
Our final day of the cruise is a sea day as we sail back down the ‘inside passage’ towards Vancouver. I hate the last day of a cruise, and I hate the last day of an Adventures By Disney trip, so today I shall be known as “Hatey McHaterson” (which is normally Walter’s name as…

Alaskan Wonders – Part 3
This cruise is unusual in that the first two days of the trip are technically sea days. Tomorrow is listed on the itinerary as Tracy Arm Fjord, but it’s something we drive through, not someplace where we dock and leave the ship. I’m very used to sea days being about the spa, lounging about on…
