Ken and I are leaving tomorrow to join the new Silver Discoverer. This is an older ship that has been completely refurbished. The ship will do a lot of cruises in the South Pacific to the smaller islands that big ships cannot go. Lot of zodiacs rides to land on shore. I love these expeditions ships so I wanted to see how this ship stacked up to the Silver Explorer that I love so much.

Our trip starts in Seward and heads over the Pacific towards the Aleutian Islands. We will be visiting remote Alaskan Islands and then heading over to remote Russian Islands. Lots of wildlife. The cruise ends in Nome Alaska. I have all my "gear" packed ready to go.

Not sure about internet on this trip we will be pretty remote so it just depends on whether we get service or not. I may go through withdrawal symptoms not being in touch with my office.

Never been to Nome so we will be there on July 31st and then again at the end of the Northwest Passage (Narwhal) cruise on September 1st. Becoming a regular visitor to Nome.

If it is possible I will post but do not expect this will be happening.
