We all arrived back home Monday after a little travel hiccup on the way back from our Alaska cruise. We disembarked our ship early Sunday morning then went to the Vancouver Aquarium. Had about 6 hours to kill and decided not to spend any more time in the airport than we had to. Very nice place and a great opportunity to see sharks, sea lions, otters, and whales up close and personal. We had seen all of those on our cruise but none this close. Anyway, we arrived at the Vancouver, Canada airport and were informed our flight was delayed for almost 4 hours. I asked the lady how that would affect our connection in Denver. She pretty much said we had two options—stay the night in Vancouver or stay the night in Denver. After polling the group, we thought it best to at least make it to Denver, allowing for a short flight the next day to Kansas City for us and Tulsa for my parents. So after a long delay and a late arrival to our hotel in Denver, we went to bed around midnight and flew out mid-morning on Monday.
The cruise with our parents was awesome. All six of us had a great time. The ship was beautiful, the scenery was gorgeous, and the food was unbelievable. I highly recommend taking an Alaskan cruise.
In order to prevent being that person who forces folks to endure too many vacation stories and photos, I’ll skip that part but will answer any questions there may be on cruising, Alaska, flying, or traveling with parents and in-laws. But I will relay a couple of very interesting things that happened in a blog entry a little later today.
The pictures above are of Shelly's parents on one of the back decks, showing the typical scenery we saw each day during the cruise and the other is our dinner table on one of the formal nights. The curtains were pulled in the pic due to sunlight coming in but we had an awesome view out our window each night off the back of the ship.
More in a bit.
