Takes one to know one? Most won't know that this is typical Frick & Frack banter.

I just noticed that my countdown timer is different from the others... can't figure out what I did wrong. I entered the date and departure time (5:00 pm from the West Coast).

Thank you for the link to the guides, J.E. M.!

 

[audrey]

:thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:Jim.

Who will volunteer to paint the ship duck yellow? Too bad Captain Charly retired...that chore would have been done for us!:whistle:

 

[JacquieP]

Could you email him and ask him to come out of retirement just for this cruise?????? I'm sure he would come running - paint in hand! What a deal, to be terrorized by ducks just when he's finally had a chance to relax! I wonder if former masters of vessels ever decide to return as passengers?

 

[ShipMaven]

Oh, don't I wish, Jacquie. Captain Charly used to fly our ducks from the mast!

 

[JacquieP]

Wonder what it would take to persuade him? He sounds like a super person! I just realized this morning that we'll be on the ship for our anniversary - in Kodiak. We haven't been there before, so it will be another new experience. QUACK

 

[J.E. M.]

To order the Offical State of Alaska Vacation and Travel Guide go to - Travel Alaska - Request Your Free Official Alaska Vacation Planner, to order the Official Guide to Adventure on Alaska's Emerald Isle go to - Kodiak Island, Alaska - Official Visitors Guide, and to order the Tourism Victoria's Official Vacation Guide go to - Tourism Victoria. I have received guides for all the sites that have been listed in my three posts, all were recived in less than a month. The Victoria guide really had a lot of good information, but all the guides were fun to read. One note of warning, you will receive some e-mails from various merchants.

 

[ShipMaven]

Thanks again for the info, Jim.

Darn. I looked at next year's cruise schedule, I was hoping to see the Amsterdam on my Sapphire Princess Cruise (photo op) but, no such luck.

 

[J.E. M.]

Icy Strait Point and Sitka do not offer any visitor's guide pubilcations, but you can access their home pages by going to - Icy Strait Point & Sitka, Alaska, the most beautiful and historic city in Alaska!.

 

[ShipMaven]

Thanks again, Jim. You wouldn't be looking forward to this cruise by any chance, would you?:whistle:
