shadowmeboy Posted January 21, 2018 Author #451 Share Posted January 21, 2018 After crossing the Columbia, we climbed up into Grant County. The exit for George, Washington. Get it? George Washington... We got off I90 just east of George. We traveled to Ephrata and Soap Lake. Past Soap Lake, we traveled past the Sun Lakes towards Coulee City.

shadowmeboy Posted January 21, 2018 Author #453 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Home Sweet Home! When we got out of the car, Susan was cold. She said she wanted to go back to Mexico. I want to thank you all for following along on our Journey. I apologize for the length, but getting there and back is part of the experience. We had a blast and really enjoyed ourselves. I would do this itinerary again in a heartbeat. There are so many things to do in each of these ports. Join me this summer as we embark on our 4th trip to Alaska! Vancouver BC to Seward, AK aboard the beautiful Norwegian Jewel! Till then! Feel free to ask any questions or leave a comment! Thank you for reading.

kbklcamp Posted January 22, 2018 #461 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thank you so much for sharing your trip and pictures. Every one of your pictures could be a postcard. Will you make a book of your pictures or print and frame some? Did you also say you’re going on the Bliss out of NYC?

brookie848 Posted January 22, 2018 #462 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) We start getting into Oregon City. Yes, that Oregon City. The one you were trying to get to on Oregon Trail when you died of Dysentery. Thanks for the great review. I've really enjoyed reading it. I had to laugh at this and I wanted to share a video with you. It's the Pittsburgh Dad video about the Oregon (or in Pittsburgh-speak "Organ") Trail. You may not get some of the Pittsburgh-specific humor or character/football references, but it certainly brought back memories. I'm looking forward to reading about your next trip!

Thanks for reading and I am glad you enjoyed it. That video was funny. Susan and I watched it this morning. I put that dysentery comment as a little tongue in cheek humor. See who was still paying attention! I am glad you are looking forward to it. I am too. We are doing something new in each port. Vancouver - hop on/hop off bus tour Ketchikan - deadliest catch excursion Juneau - renting a car/Mendenhall Skagway - Dyea Dave tour to emerald lake Glacier bay for the first time Seward - Kenai Fjords boat tour I am so excited for this trip! It also means a ton of pictures!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good boss. Although we are much busier in the summer than in the winter. So it’s a little easier to get time off even in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means a ton of pictures!!! We did the Deadliest Catch Excursion in 2014 when we were in Alaska and I have to say that was one of our favorite excursions. They really get the people involved and they act like they really love their job. Truly enjoyed following along on this trip with your pictures and all the information you provided. We are on the Star in April from LA to Miami thru the Panama Canal and some of the info you gave is quite helpful for our trip. Safe travels in the future to you and your wife.

Thanks for the confirmation on the excursion, it’s always been one of the ones I had seen and did some research on. It’s always good to hear from others who have taken it. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your sailing on the Star! Glad that I could be of some help! Safe travels to you as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeahawkSiren Posted January 23, 2018 #472 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Matthew, Just wanted to thank you for another great review! You and Susan always look so happy and are such fun, positive people! And of course I love all your photos of our beautiful Washington state and your Seahawks gear and passion for the Hawks! Someday maybe our paths will cross on a cruise ship! It would be great fun watching a game together! One of our favorite cruise memories was on our Panama Canal cruise in 2016 with a bunch of Hawk fans we had never previously met watching the game together! I couldn’t believe it when I saw this photo you posted from Cabo! We are staying at a resort in this photo (the one on the far right with the palapa bar) coming up here soon in February. We are also going on the same Luxury Day Sailing tour that you and Susan did with Cabo Adventures! We too are hoping to see some whales. We fell in love with Cabo when we stopped there on our Panama Canal cruise and are looking forward to spending a week there soon. Thanks again for the great review. Glad you, Susan (and Theo!) are all back home safely. Wishing you and Susan safe and happy travels and cruises in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if we were on a ship at the same time! Especially on game day! Glad I could capture the resort for you! On the excursion, sit on the right side of the boat, so you can get pictures on the way out near the rocks. I wish you safe travels as well!
