Live from Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska! [Aug. 29th, 2008|09:07 pm]

Hey.

I can't write much because I didn't think this through and write my post before I went onto the ship's really expensive internet. So. You are stuck with something brief and shitty.

Summary: Am having a great time. Alaska is beautiful. I wouldn't live here, but I would definitely vacation here again.

The passage from Vancouver up into Alaska was beautiful. Saw whales. First stop was Ketchikan, which sucked ass. Juneau was awesome (climbed a mountain, rode in a helicopter, went dogsledding on a glacier). Skagway was cool but sorta kinda derelict. Glacier Bay is breathtaking. Going out onto the open sea tonight, we'll see how I deal with the rougher waters there. Will be arriving back in Detroit at 5 am on Monday. Should be in KW Tuesday, or Wednesday if the jet lag is bad, though it's only a four hour time difference.

Food on the ship has been between nice and awesome, depending on the day and the dish. Mostly it's been great to hang out with my immediate and extended family. My brother closest in age to me, who I'm rooming with, has only gotten frustratingly annoying in the last day or so. Last night, mostly. We'll see if that continues.

It's mostly an older crowd on this particular cruise, but there has been some eye candy of both sexes. My brother (the annoying one) got drunk last night and made out with a cougar from New Jersey, which was both hilarious and horrifying. I just really don't want to walk in to my cabin to him dirtying his sheets with some drunk divorcée on rebound.

Must go. More when I get back.

I'm glad that all is going well (you know, except for the whole "brother hooking up with nasty cougar" bit).

What's a cougar? Is that like a MILF?

Cougar = older woman hitting on a younger man while acting younger than her age. Often divorcées on rebound, but not necessarily so.
