* Reader Jen G. sent photos of her kitty enjoying her giveaway box. Not the "stuff" that came in the box but the actual box. I hear it's a cat thing...fitting your feline self into a container whether you fit or not.
Here are Jen's kitties. See the one on the bookshelf in the back? lolz I just remember one's name, Zima, the black and white cat. No photo of Darrell the dog however.
Here is Zima exploring the box.......
Success! Time for a snooze.......
I hope we don't have to throw anyone overboard but the possibility does exist..... ;-)
Anybody out there take one of these cruise ships to Alaska? Tell us about your experience-what you did or wish you had done(or hadn't done in hindsight). There will be no rock climbing/rappelling or snorkeling for this slug but otherwise we are wide open for suggestions as far as excursions. Should we partake of the cruise prompted shore excursions or just explore on our own?
Someone mentioned in Kim's blog comment they live up there, I think it was in Ketchikan, so let us know and maybe we can meet up with ya(as long as you have a Diet Coke and a Pastry for Kim-unless you enjoy Grizzly Bear behavior)!*snort*
Also anybody live in Southern Alaska want to chime in on what to pack to wear there in August? I hear it's a might cooler than PA and rainier as in 'rain forest wet" in August.
* Finished my $10 Ibotta Bonus today, rah. I doubt I'll be tempted to do any more grocery shopping this month as we are in "use up what's here" mode now until the trip. 8-)
After coupons and a free $25 gift card I paid $2.41 for all and earned back $30.29 from Ibotta.(That doesn't count the Fetch points-a few-or the 1,610 in Shop Kick points($6.44)earned.)making this trip a $27.88 Moneymaker and getting my August grocery spending off to a roaring start. ;-)
* The weather the last 5 days or so here has been just lovely for late July/early August. If you don't count the hail storm last Tuesday or the torrential rains we had for 2 days. The rains did manage to break the humidity so that's a plus but I am scared to look in the garden again for fear of finding more mammoth green Italian squash monsters!!!
Or better yet, did anyone see the Crankshaft" comic on Sunday?
Sluggy
Inappropriate but my first thought for Zima was “you made that bitch famous…” 😎

P.s. That’s Beavis the weirdo lurking in the background. He’s still a bit on the feral side but improving after 12 years. Dexter the hair tie thief was checking out the box but never had the courage to enter.

Such cute kitties!!
ReplyDeleteOh you are going to have sooo much fun on your cruise!
We went on an Alaskan cruise for our 25th anniversary a few years ago. Glacier bay was amazing!! I loved seeing the glaciers, and we went to Mendenhall glacier in Juneau. Beautiful waterfall there too. Tracy's King Crab shack has the biggest crab legs I ever saw and the best bisque.
My husband loved the train ride in Skagway, beautiful scenery and interesting info about the klondike gold rush. Be sure to see the eagles in Ketchican, they were my favorite part along with the totems. We walked around Victoria, but I think there are beautiful gardens and a fancy tea at the Empress, but we were only there for a few hours.
My only regrets are I wish we had timed our cruise better so we could have seen the salmon run and bears, and I wish we had done a whale watching excursion.
Have fun and post some pics!
