Good morning from Skagway. The White Pass train stopped right in front of our ship. It was fun sitting on our balcony watching them load up with Mariner and Carnival Spirit passengers. I just saw Masaki, Amanda, Lauri, Karen & Mark leaving for their rock climbing excursion. Carla & Frank are going kayaking...not sure about what the others are doing. Tom is at the gym now and We have NOTHING planned today, perfect for us to just walk around leisurely. The weather is kind of grey but so far no rain.

Yesterday's whale watching was a real success and we had perfect weather and blue skies. We saw 4 orcas and about 5 humpbacks including a Momma and her baby born in 2006.

Last night we had Alaskan King Crab legs for dinner for our entire table (Karen, Mark, Joanna, Tony, Olivia, Suzanne, Tom and me)special ordered from the night before. It was a feast beyond words with the longest crab legs I've ever seen. They brought them out on a platter stacked so high and gave each of us about 7 legs (already cracked open thank goodness). I think Suzanne took pictures. As we were finishing, Carla, Frank and John (Mr.Kimmi) came over and pulled up chairs as the Grand Marinier souffles were brought to the table....we all really pigged out! Afterwards we just went into the Mariner Lounge for espressos, Sambuccas etc. We had originally planned to go see John Barron's show but dinner was so late because of getting back from various excursions we were still on dessert at 10pm. No casino, no STARS last night...just good times with good friends!! To no surprise as we were leaving there were only 5 tables left throughout Compass Rose, all MUSHers!

Tonight we're eating dinner with Masaki, Amanda, Olivia, Joanna & Tony, and Carla & Frank. I think tomorrow night we're with Marc & Arlene...need to check my calendar to keep up with all these dinners.

Tonight is also Martini Night in Horizon Lounge with John Barron singing, followed by another Kareoke night in STARS. Better rest up!!
