Creator's Key Takeaways

I am in remission from leukemia.

This is my first cruise ever.

I have found it impossible to talk Michelle into going in a cruise for our entire marriage.

It was a mother and a little baby. It was so cute and they were so high up.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give yourself a good hour of buffer time when taking the train from Anchorage to Whittier.
Roll with the punches in Alaska because the weather doesn't cooperate.
