A very rainy morning greeted us as we readied ourselves for embarking on an item on a bucket list.....wasn't on either Paul's or mine to hop on a ship and cruise up to Alaska. Paul's bucket list is usually a visit to Bunnings as he is there for hours! We had so many recommendations from friends who have done the "Inside Passage" (I just think it sounds too darn rude for me) and all said it was a once in a lifetime trip......so here we are laying in a king size bed drinking champers 'inside' a room off a 'passage' way!
To get inside this room on the ship we did our last trip on the Highlands bus #246, last ferry ride on the seabus (brilliant transport), last trip to the Waterfront station and the final trip past the young people living in the sidewalk tent outside the station who gave us the last passing waft of pre legalised marijuana.
As my blog doesn't include advertising I won't mention the name of the cruise line...far too long to type it each time. They were very organised as in 4 easy steps, baggaged dropped, checked in and given boarding passes, border security USA style with finger prints taken (now in a database as in a Jack Reacher novel) with the last step a photo taken with someone dressed in a bald eagle suit.....surely a sign for West Coast supporters!
Lots of room to move about on the deck.
Leaving Vancouver
Built up area on the outskirts of the city
We did an extra lap to make it an even 2k's
Next time Darla and Molly. I have seen 1 dog here wearing a
medic alert vest. He is assisting a boy who is autistic.
