NolaAlive--Thanks for the photos, they are great. We'll be doing this trip southbound the last of july. Your photos have given me activity ideas and things to watch for.

 

I know many other posters have asked about your camera, it is great!

 

Thanks again,

Through Carnival. While it turned out good, next time, I'd go for a smaller boat with fewer people.

[nolaAlive]

Wow, that show the humpback put on for you guys was awesome!

 

It was a momma and a calf. The calf did most of the showing off (they usually do). Kids! They think they know it all.

[nolaAlive]

p.s.

 

To all. You're welcome. Enjoy!

 

Going to run out of Internet time before the cruise ends (probably), but we are supposed to have free Internet in Anchorage and at least one post-cruise trip.

Wonderful pictures! We did the Eagle Preserve tour in Skagway also, and it was by far the best thing we did in Alaska! You had much better weather than we did, though. I'm jealous of some of your pictures!!!

 

Thanks for taking us back with you....

[nolaAlive]

Another beautiful day here in sitka. Think it might get close to 70...

 

Going to be looking for more critters today. Will have to remember sunscreen.

[lovestwocruise]

Sitka is such a pretty place...I am so upset that Carnival is dropping this port next year....Can't wait to see your pics !

Simply Amazing! The Sitka pictures were wonderful. I loved reading about the birds as well as looking at the pictures. The shot of the airplane and the snowy mountain was beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us!
