[zubee23]

Interesting article about escaping the cruise ship docks in under 10 minutes and seeing the state at its "unspoiled best." It starts on page 82 of AARP's May/June issue.

How did you get this already?

Mine came yesterday but I hadn't gotten that far into it yet. Good to know they've covered AK in this edition.

Could someone post a scan of the article or a link to it if its available online?

[Jo-Bob]

I don't know what AARP stands for. Can someone tell me what it is, and somewhere I can obtain a copy, on-line or otherwise? Big thanks.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, isn't that cute? I only wish I didn't know what it means.

 

American Association of Retired Persons used to be their formal name. Now they are hip and just like AARP (kind of like taking the fried out of KFC, huh?) I bought a membership for my DH 50th B day . . . guess paybacks are hell. I can look forward to that in a few years.

 

I tried to get to the article online - no such luck. I could see it exists - I guess I should check on my DH's membership, huh? Here is the online blurb
