Thank you, all! About 4 hours from embarkation.

Writing to you from the Amtrak Cascades en route to Vancouver. This afternoon we embark on HAL's MS Volendam to cruise Alaska.

 

I'm very prepared, in large part, because of the helpful advice and suggestions from my fellow cruisecritic.com posters.

 

Have a great week, everyone. Don't know whether I will purchase an Internet plan onboard , but will try to check in from Alaska.

 

Just saw the first bald eagle of the trip outside Everett, Wasington :).

 

Thanks, everyone :)!
