A Trip To Alaska
Circus Circus – Chapter 15
You guessed it, I made it aboard the Kennicott on November 18th. I was finally going home. This is a serious crossing, across the Gulf of Alaska, open sea most of the way.
Rolling waves and a rough sea, a bit of sea sickness, I slept most of the way. A quick stop in Yakatat, a small village at the foot of the Mt. St. Alias Range.
The Kennicott is a very large ship, built for this crossing. I recommend a cabin, the sleeping arrangements are not quite the same as other ships I have been on. If you are camping there are only two area on the ships where you are allowed to sleep, they are not that comfortable. The seas are huge, so for comfort a cabin is the best bet. This is a two night trip to Whittier.
The Purser’s Deck, located in the center of the ship. A great crew aboard to help with all your questions and needs.
Arrival in Whittier, unloading cars.
Through the tunnel on my way to Anchorage.
My sweet sister was surprised to see me,
after waiting 5 weeks for me to arrive, she just
wasn’t sure when I would show up.
Just in time for Christmas!
Santa Claus Mountain our view out our window!
If you do not believe in Santa Claus, you should,
because we know where he lives!
BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas in my usual form 
with a bit of humor and news of the past year!
It has been quite a ride 
with lots of changes in the world 
and in my life……
Do You Believe in Santa Claus?
You should!
Because I took the picture of where he lives, 
outside my window.
I told him where you all live, 
so you should make a list
and check it twice,
So if you have been good 
or bad, 
naughty or nice,
you will be sure to get what you deserve! 
Last year we knew that Bush 
was on his way out!
Hurrah ! 
Only now we have a bigger mess,
but, lets not pout! 
I could tell you a few good stories of where I have been, 
that would make you laugh! 
So look at the bright side, 
as we start a New Year!
I have done a lot of writing this year, 
along with a bit of travel, 
up and down the California Coast,
working in SO CAL as a script writer for Discovery Channel,
up to Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, you know where potatoes grow!
I took the ferry to Juneau, Alaska, 
and then across the Bering Sea,
writing all the way, Ho Ho Ho! 
to be where I am right now, Santa Claus Mountain! 
So even through the up’s and down’s,
I know that things only work out for the best!
Some people say I have on Rose Colored Glasses,
they are right, I do ! 
So put on pair, 
see the world,
life,
and today,
with a little color 
to brighten your day!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
Love, Wendy, Mom, Mema, Auntie, Sister and friend……..
