I'mmmmmm Back !!!!!!

Well I didn't fall off the face of the earth like it may seem.  I did however go to one of the most beautiful spots on earth, Alaska !!  This was our third time and it was just as amazing as the first two.

We saw sooooooo many whales.  Our whale watching excursion started out rather slow. My thought was okay we were very blessed the first two times so whatever it is it is.  Then of course the humpbacks came into view. They are awesome to watch. The problem is they are not as visible and they tend to dive more often.  If you are lucky enough to see them dive you get that famous tail fluke and then off they go for 10- 15 minutes maybe. You can't get to close either so you better have some good binocs.

Then as a special blessing the orcas appeared.  We have seen them all three cruises. The guides tell us that only about 10% of the tourists get to see them.  Well we feel so blessed.  We found a pretty big pod and they were stretched out all over the channel we were in. People were yelling out "hey over there" " there's one over there" "look here is two right next to the boat".  It was amazing.

Well I could go on and on but I am still catching up on laundry and unpacking some stuff so I will go for now.  Hopefully I will not wait so long in between writings.

Glad to be home, well most of me is, not the part that likes the cool weather in Alaska. Love ya all.
