Sunset near Juneau, Alaska
I just got back the other day, about midnight Sunday.
The cruise was GREAT!
It was my first cruise, and I'd love to do another, (if I only had the money, ha ha.)
I boarded in Seattle; Holland America's, MS Amsterdam.
It holds about 1300 passengers and 300 - 400 crew members.
The first thing we did was almost 48 hours at sea to Juneau.
We had a pretty rough day that first day.
Check out the pool video:

In Juneau I did the Mt. Roberts Tram, which goes straight up the mountain above the ship.
First however, I asked, "Where's a liquor store and a pot shop?"
Once I got me one joint, and a couple small bottles, I wandered back through town to the Tram and went up it.
On the way through town I saw the Red Dog Saloon.

Up on Mt. Roberts, looking down on my ship, (the middle one.)
Mt. Roberts, Juneau, Alaska:
100 ml liter bottles of rum instead of 50 ml and "Gold Creek Kush" from Norther Lights.
That was some really great tasting pot there, and quite stony.

Sitka, Alaska:
"Bio Jesus" pot was pretty good too, although not quite as good.
In Ketchikan, I got little bottles of Vodka because they didn't have Bacardi's, and I never got to the pot shop because we had to go to do my tour, and leave soon thereafter.
But, I did get a calendar for $1.99 PLUS a FREE Inside Passage coffee cup for buying the calendar, AND a one-shot "I survived Zip Lining," flask for a buck.
As far as wild life goes, I saw a pod of Humpbacks, saw some Orca's, and caught video of one of them breaching.
I saw Eagles, I watched a glacier calving, and I ate real good, too.
I wandered through the second-largest rainforest in the world, the Tongass, where I saw mating and dying Salmon so thick you could cross the river without getting wet.
I did the Totem Trail, where I loved the Trader Legend Pole, (which tells a tale of white traders lying,) and I even went Ziplining in Ketchikan.
I'll try to get all of this posted soon, but I wanted to get this much up.
