Alaska 2012 It's All About Ummm...Them: Ketchikan

Another early morning..we left the card for room service to bring our breakfast at 6:15 AM and for the second day in a row they knocked on the door at 5:30 AM! By the time we got up it was cold so Lindsay had her cereal and it was time to go. We had to meet the tour at 7:20AM ..I am wearing out with this early morning stuff! We got on the bus and headed out to George’s Inlet to do the Crab Exploration and Feast that Kay and I did two years ago. Lots more crab in the pots this time and besides the salmon jumping we spotted a black bear, black tailed deer and several eagles. The feast part of the trip is the best and the college kids that work the lodge make it fun. Lindsay loved it and eat her weight in crab and then got up and did a dance with them they called the “crab dance” which I got to video. It was very cute and she loved it. We were only here until 1 PM today and all aboard was at 12:30 so we didn’t have much time to do anything when we got back but take a few pictures of town. We were anxious to get back to see how Debbie liked her Zip Line experience. She came in a few minutes after we did and was excited that she had done it and loved it. I had to take a picture of the picture they took of her to get it on the blog. We will try to include her photos here with the others. We had the International Dinner tonight and it was very confusing ordering but Lindsay had ordered hers the day before and loved both the items she picked. She had tried to call Mom several times before we left Ketchikan but couldn’t get her so I think she is a bit down and homesick tonight. We went to the production show tonight and it was good and now we are having tea before turning in tonight. Tomorrow will be a busy day as we have to pack and dinner is early as we get to Victoria at 7 pm then Saturday morning it is over and we head back to Atlanta. This will probably be the last post until I get home and sum up the cruise. We turn our clocks forward tonight to get back on Pacific Time instead of the 4 hour Alaska Time zone. Debbie and I are looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow…hopefully.
