I have no travel sunrise for July 30.  This was taken one year ago at the basketball court of the middle school across the street from me.

Keith,  thanks for the prompt reply.  I will check with our TA when we need/want info about future cruise hotels.  OC had info on the website;  I thought maybe NC had posted it somewhere that I couldn't find.  (We already have a hotel booked for upcoming NYC-QC-NYC BTB.)   Bob S.

Today's sunrise is from my 2010 Blount cruise New England to Quebec.  On July 31 Grande Caribe arrived in Quebec:

Today's sunrise is is from the start of my 2016 Crystal Serenity Northwest Passage trip.  On August 1 I was on Amtrak's Cardinal approaching Chicago as the sun came up.

Hey Roy, could you email me at kkope01@gmail.com?  I'd like to mine your immense knowledge of HAL.  OLoPP and I have something very specific in mind and your experienced perspective would be invaluable.  I appreciate your consideration.

I always like the clock tower and the colors of the exterior buildings.

Today's sunrise is from my 2016 Crystal Serenity Northwest Passage cruise.  On August 3 I was on Amtrak's Empire Builder crossing North Dakota.

I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise.  It's from my 2018 Grand Alaska.Panama trip and was taken from MS Westerdam in the Inland passage the final night before arriving in Vancouver.

For August 6 I have a sunset, rather than a sunrise.  It is from August 6, 2016, taken from the Alaska Ferry Kennicott out of Bellingham Washington headed to Anchorage to meet Crystal Serenity for her Northwest Passage cruise.

tracie,

the review of serenity by the british journalist was interesting but she did get a free cruise and beautiful cabin so i take it with a grain of salt.  i would rather read reviews by actual paying passengers.

Today's sunrise is from land rather than a trip with a cruise.  It was taken at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico August 7, 2009:
