Oh if you only knew how much I'd love to just drop by for a coffee!!! I loooooooooove Alaska!!! Been three times on cruises! One was a Quilting Cruise! I have three awesome wind chimes outside my front door. One with black bears, the other with otters and the other with an Orca!!!!!! In each port I try to book a deep sea fishing trip. The first time I saw mountains I thought it was bad weather coming in the distance? As the could lifted I realized I was looking at MOUNTAINS!!!!! I live on an Island with hills only and never really experienced MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!! I call Alaska 'God's Front Yard!' Will be back in another couple of years!!!
