It's official; we're going to Alaska in August. A while back I read about a cruise along the Inside Passage (southeastern Alaskan coast) and it sounded fascinating. Dave and I did some research and we're going to take a small boat cruise. "The Discovery was originally designed and built as 'Holiday' for William Morris of the William Morris agency in 1931 in San Pedro, California" and it is a beauty! We don't take vacations often; we'd rather save up for a big 'un every so often. This is the big 'un! The boat holds 12 people, not including crew, and we'll whale watch, bear watch, eagle watch, fish for salmon, halibut, trout... OH MY! They even have sound equipment so we can hear the whales sing. OH MY! This is better than Christmas!
