Alaska

Paula and I haven't been idle since returning from Antarctica. We are off to Alaska in about a week. Not a big trip but we are looking forward to a week at sea again. We leave out of Vancouver and finish in Anchorage. This is a different sort of trip for us. An actual cruise instead of an expedition. I will have to wear a jacket to dinner as opposed to my insulated rubber boots. Goodness, will we survive?

Apologies

I have been remiss in concluding the last trip. The sail from the Falklands to Patagonia was accompanied by endless flocks of Albatross and Giant Southern Petrels. Their numbers were incredible and we spent hours trying for the perfect photograph or just admiring these amazing birds. We landed in Ushuaia in a cold light drizzle. We visited a few highlights and enjoyed a nice tea before boarding our flight to Buenos Aires. Later that night, we were on our way home. Reading back through the blogs, I realize the are very incomplete. I have failed to capture the beauty and the absolute wonder of our southern continent. How I wish I possessed the skills to describe our fabulous experience on the Southern Sea. I feel fortunate to have had this experience and hope that you enjoyed following along.
