Destination Alaska: Day 4

(Due to a lack of internet access, these are slightly delayed.) Day four was, so far, the busiest day of our trip. The day began with a quick breakfast of bagels, bacon, and instant eggs at the concierge’s lounge at the hotel. With full bellies, we headed out to visit the Pike Place Market., which was only about a block or two from our hotel. The Pike Place Market is probably most famous for “the guys who throw fish,” and we saw them do that, but there’s a ton of other things to see, do, and buy down there. There’s… (read more)

Destination Alaska: Day 3

If day two was long, day three seemed infinitely longer. We left Twin Falls, Idaho early, heading.northwest. We had lunch on Memorial Day in Ontario, Oregon, right across the border. The Italian place we stopped at was fancier inside than it looked from the outside. Lunch for the four of us was just over $30. After lunch we had dessert at Dairy Queen and then stopped at a Dollar Tree to pick up a few things … at which point Susan realized she had lost her debit card. A quick call confirmed that it was still at the restaurant, so… (read more)

Destination Alaska: Day 2

I could probably sum up today’s post with “we drove all day,” but I’ll try to write more than that. We left Denver this morning a little after 9am. The weather was absolutely gorgeous there. Both kids suggested that sometime we should just take a vacation to Denver. From Denver we drove north — and drove, and drove. We drove north to Wyoming, west to Utah, and finally north to Idaho. It was amazing to watch the landscape change. Most of Kansas and Colorado yesterday were flat. We started out today by seeing the Rocky Mountains, and then continued to… (read more)

Destination Alaska: Day 1

We hit the road yesterday morning, en route for Alaska. (We’re not driving to Alaska; we’re driving to Seattle and taking a cruise from there to Alaska.) We had planned to hit the road by 6am, but by the time we were fully packed and ready to go, it was 9am. Then we had breakfast. 10 minutes after we hit the road, we had a snafu involving me locking the wrong lock which would have kept our house sitter locked out and our cat unfed, so we had to head back. We really didn’t hit the road until 10am. We… (read more)

There Are No Rules in Mexico, Only Suggestions: Cozumel Cruise, 2019

Last week during spring break, Susan, the kids, and I took a Carnival cruise to Cozumel. This was our fourth cruise together as a family, and our second time to visit Cozumel. Previously we cruised to Hawaii in 2015, Alaska in 2012, and Cozumel (the first time) ten years ago in 2009. We spent Sunday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day), driving from Oklahoma City down to Galveston, Texas (about 500 miles). Our cruise ship, the Carnival Valor, departed from Galveston the following morning. On Wednesday, March 20, we arrived in Cozumel, Mexico, and on the following day, we arrived in… (read more)
