Trip Notes

This trip was the realization of a lifetime dream for us.  Alaska is so vast, one trip is not enough.  Hopefully, this was only the first.......

I'm excited and we're not returning until 2012!!!
9/9/2010 4:58:28 PM - 001024320926
I talked to Randy and he definitely wants to do the cruise (I think it's because his Mom did one), I explained about the rooms, he says yeah but we won't be in there much. Ok, so I'm back to working on the trip, woohoo!

So when the chance comes around to travel I say Go For It!!!

I hope we get to go again!! Maybe in 2012.
8/18/2010 2:06:50 PM - 002029331419
This was such a great adventure for you all!! You were headed to Anchorage a year ago today.....wow....All of that planning, the trip...and now a year anniversary from when you went!
I loved Alaska.............I want to go back..........really I do!!
8/9/2010 8:55:44 PM - 002088910291
With all the heat you have been having, I really bet you do! It is just right here for us this summer, a lot on the cool side, which is fine with me! I know there are others who think it has been to cold, especially if you have a garden of vegetables, they hardly grew for a lot people I know of! Looking forward to meeting you all next year! Deb
8/9/2010 2:59:40 PM - 002067758981
Wish we were there now!!!!
8/8/2010 11:50:56 PM - 002088910291
Jamie, Great Orca shot! Yes, I would for sure be interested in going on an orca sightseeing boat trip! It is so close to home yet I have just not done it! I have been on two humpback whale trips out of Depoe Bay, Oregon, and saw whales, but never orcas, which we live so close to! I am in for the orca trip! It says you save $20.00 bucks when you order on line, at least only one week ahead of time! Deb

Jamie, Just stopping by your Alaska site because I just love visiting your Alaska adventure and you have so much to share. This site rocks and I still haven't seen it all. Here's to many more adventures for you.
4/30/2010 5:49:13 AM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh, I don't think I have been here....
How COOL is that header! I'll have to stop back soon!!
4/26/2010 10:47:04 PM - 002025703401
That was sooooo not nice!
3/22/2010 4:08:15 PM - 001024320926
Hey Alaska have you heard tomorrow Jamie will join the ranks of 'OLD LADY'!!
3/22/2010 11:19:29 AM - 001023411097
Hi Jamie, I want to see what is on your agenda for your next trip. Love to vist and enjoy your vacation pics. Hugs and hope you are doing great. Barbj
2/19/2010 4:39:25 PM - 001076975951
Just thought I'd stop by Jamie to have a mini Alaska getaway. And although we have lots of snow here in NYC, no way does it compare with the beauty of Alaska and the photos you have kindly shared with us. I visit every now and then to get my fix. Thanks again for the beauty of Alaska and your cruise adventure. have a great weekend.
1/4/2010 6:33:41 AM - 002065887734
I just had a small amount of time, so stayed in Kenai Fjord. That page is so beautiful. I loved seeing the seals, popins, porpoises (I thought they looked great!), Whales, and scenery are just gorgeous. I've been on your site before, but didn't get to this page. It's wonderful! They all are. Alaska Tourism Board should hire you guys! i don't have sound right now, so Will check out the video again...with sound. Thanks for my visit to the fjord.
1/4/2010 6:19:55 AM - 002065887734
Your Header says it all. I'd love to go! (had family who lived there. Family dog got lost. Little 6 year old got into her Barbie car in the dark & cold, and went to find her dog. They were organizing a search party for her, & here comes Cheyenne back "towing" her dog with a piece of yarn in her little Barbie car! Think that girl will be able to do anything she wants as she grows up. They were in service & lived in area with permanent dusk/dark & COLD for part of the year.) I want to see YOUR Alaska.
11/22/2009 4:33:35 AM - 002081530895
I was just thinking about your site.It appears you are interested in some of the same subject matter as I. I also like to travel and record my experiences. If you have the opportunityyou might have the opportunity to travel to the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia,Northern Minnesota and around Lake Superior,and an Island in The Carribbean Sea called Grenada where the people LOVEAmericans. It is not commercialized. The people know when the "One armed guy with the Cowboy hat" arrives at the airport and look for me on the beech the following day.Barb and I are considered residents.We truly love the Grenadian people. The Rum is good too. I have visited the 12 X 24 Mile island 4 times and have only seen a 1/3of it. I wish didgital cameras were available then. See ya!
11/18/2009 6:24:23 PM - 002081530895
I need to spend lots of time here. The photos are outstanding.
11/16/2009 1:17:42 AM - 001023411097
I just love to come by a visit like I'm on Vacation. Alaska is just beautiful and I know your trip was wonderful. Love you photos of your trip.
10/28/2009 5:25:19 PM - 002029331419
Gosh you guys had a great time!! Well...that's what vacations are for...Very Coo!!
10/15/2009 12:12:22 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, I too need to visit here at least once a week. You have done an amazing job on this site. LOVE IT!!

Thanks for all your hard work.
10/14/2009 3:12:51 PM - 002029331419
I needed to come over and gaze at a little Alaska beauty!! :0)
10/11/2009 12:18:34 AM - 000093706714
Jamie........I am missing our banter but wanted to make a quick stop by and convey my thanks for your good wishes. I also got to view a few of the shots of the girls trip to the balloon fest. Enjoyed all of your beautiful smiles and the great balloon shots.

I will check back in when time permits. Until then, we appreciate your prayers and good wishes.

Hugs
Cheri

9/22/2009 10:44:56 PM - 002025703401
Hi Marion! I'll send you an email tonight with the instructions.
9/22/2009 10:18:17 PM - 001033350820
One other question - your large photo of the Diamond Princess on the top of your Diamond Princess section - where can I get a copy of that photo?

Marion
9/22/2009 10:14:39 PM - 001033350820
I think your shutterfly page is fabulous. I am doing one too but I don't know how you got your music posted on the page. Can you share your secret - how can I do that too? Where did you get the music from?

Marion

9/22/2009 10:02:26 PM - 002067758981
Jean, step away from that stir stick!!!!!
9/22/2009 9:12:46 PM - 002025703401

9/22/2009 5:35:12 PM - 002067758981
Take Kay and I's word for it......WE SEE AS MUCH AS SHE CAN DRAG US TO!!!!
9/22/2009 4:40:19 PM - 002025703401

I have a stressful job and you would think my vacations would be all about R&R......

But it's not!  It's all about new experiences.  I love to travel to new places and want to see everything while I'm there.  I can sleep and relax at home...... :)

9/22/2009 3:15:15 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, Read your Vancouver Notes..and isn't it funny that one needs some R&R after returning from a vacation.  Oh

I always thought that was why we take vacations to relax and chill out.  The meaning of vacation is a period of rest from work, study, etc.  And yet we don't do chores or have to cook and still it tires us out.  Surprised

Go figure.   But still I LOVE VACATIONS!!!  And your latest cruise to Alaska is wonderful.   Thanks for sharing all these photos.  Kudos.
9/21/2009 11:06:39 PM - 001024320926
Storms are coming tonight, I'm headed home.
9/21/2009 10:06:14 PM - 002067758981
Jean, you know country bumkins can not count....meant FOUR!!!!
9/21/2009 8:56:03 PM - 002029331419
Yeah, Jamie, Kay and Lisa.......

he he!!! LOL!!
9/21/2009 8:15:19 PM - 002067758981
Sounds like the three of you do NOT have enough to do!!!! And on a Monday, too. NO Dr. Pepper ever for me. Water, please, or Diet Coke and have to have coffee in the morning. I am game for most kinds of food, no lamb or mystery meat!!! Chicken, beef, pork or seafood for us country folk.
9/21/2009 6:22:50 PM - 002025703401
Marcia returns tomorrow.... I was doing her banking stuff and chatting.....
9/21/2009 4:48:29 PM - 002029331419
I hope you guys are getting as much done for a Monday morning as I am!! LOL!!
9/21/2009 4:47:35 PM - 002029331419
I'll bring a roll of duct tape.....LOL!! I love Dr Pepper...and Tea...and water! ;0) You can keep your coffee....the smell makes me choke!
9/21/2009 4:45:12 PM - 002025703401
And I'm not gonna drink any for the next two weeks.... just so you guys get the full effect!!!! :)
Mom is gonna kill me!
9/21/2009 4:42:05 PM - 001024320926
Now the sody water ( as Granny would say ) doesn't wire me up, neither does coffee :) That's why I want to see Jamie hopped up ;)
9/21/2009 4:39:52 PM - 002025703401
Hey Jean..... Order me a Dr Pepper for lunch and you are gonna wish I would go back to Texas!!!!
9/21/2009 4:37:01 PM - 002029331419
LOL.....wait until I get back in my chair!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9/21/2009 4:31:29 PM - 002025703401
News flash.... I drink water about 90% of the time. Ask Kay and Mom about me drinking diet coke Saturday night. I was wired...... :)
9/21/2009 4:29:37 PM - 001024320926
I know how Kay feels. I don't like tea.....................just waiting for everyone to recovery. Ok, someone will say would like something to drink and I'll say water please, sure you don't want some tea? No thanks, I love water (and I do). What's wrong you don't like tea? I say no not really but I love water. Let me get you some of my tea, you'll love it. No really water is good. No you have to try some of my tea. So I end up with tea that I don't drink. I am always worried about hurting someones feelings like that.
9/21/2009 4:22:19 PM - 002029331419
- And we have a Landry's...if your looking for seafood while your here!
9/21/2009 4:01:53 PM - 002025703401
Ma is still trying to convert you from the grave..... :) If you would just try mine..... Can ya here her now???? :)
9/21/2009 3:50:29 PM - 002071401838
How many times did Maw try to get me to eat "her" recipe for corn?????
9/21/2009 3:26:00 PM - 002025703401

Corn, cherries, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, coconut

 

But chocolate, cookies, cupcakes, and chips are ok......

9/21/2009 3:24:44 PM - 002029331419
No cookies, cupcakes, chips? Those are C foods too!!
9/21/2009 3:21:21 PM - 002025703401
Not one around here, seen it on TV. I'm game.

Lisa, Mom has been trying to convert Kay since Junior High (won't eat C word foods except cheese). No luck yet.... :) And Gina loves veggies but hates lettuce.
9/21/2009 3:17:16 PM - 002029331419
Lisa!! No big deal....my daughter eats salad... the cucumbers go here, the carrots go there..etc... My Son, eats salad first, then when that's clean, he puts the next item on his plate, when that's clean..then the next! ha! He eats lots of stuff..just in some kind of order. I think at the most - he has 2 things on his plate!
Hey...Have you guys ever eaten at a Brazilian Resturant?...where they come around with the meat on a stick..hot off the grill???
9/21/2009 3:12:49 PM - 002025703401
Mom is for sure gonna work on you!!!

And I've told you about all the picky eaters in my office and my theory about hiring.... ;) I'm considered a picky eater by my family. :)

Do you realize we are always looking for something to use to give you a hard time??? :)
9/21/2009 3:01:51 PM - 001024320926
Another reason I don't tell people is because then they start hatching plans to convert me :)
9/21/2009 3:00:37 PM - 001024320926
I rarely reveal that I am a picky eater to people because it makes them shake their heads or stop wanting to tell me about the fun dinners they ate. I love to watch people eat salad, they make it look so good. But when I eat salad I eat it dry with no tomatoes :) I have food where ever I go and I never let the food get in the way, I don't complain.
9/21/2009 2:58:04 PM - 001024320926
It's true I am a picky eater :( but I do love crab, not sure where that came from. I love shrimp too!! I don't like foods mixed together :) I know you're shaking your heads but I can't help it. I have tried, really! I am not a fan of sauces or dressings! I prefer to eat my crab or shrimp by themselves with no dipping sauces. I have been known to eat crab dip, has to be hot off the stove though. I love veggies by themselves but not mixed up :)
9/21/2009 2:52:14 PM - 002029331419
WHAT?!?! A Texas girl that doesn't like veggies??? And has never tried crab? I thought she was a crab - aholic like the rest of us! Did you see my new clocks on my page What's going on page...there's one on there that I TOOK FOR US!! :0)
9/21/2009 2:02:35 PM - 002025703401
Missy Lisa is the problem eater..... I learned this weekend that she didn't know what Pei Wei is and she doesn't like vegetables! Mom & I thought about you when we were there Saturday for lunch. YUMMMMM!
9/21/2009 1:48:08 PM - 002029331419
Jamie....Who are you talking to?
Picky Eater???
9/21/2009 12:10:10 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, Your rock!! This site is fabulous and I'll have to savor it page by page. This is site is filled with tons of great photos and I LOVE it. Here's to many wonderful memories every time you visit here. And we can enjoy what you saw through your lens. Thanks for sharing.
9/21/2009 1:46:17 AM - 002025703401
Soooo are ya gonna try crab now... Miss Picky Eater???????
9/21/2009 1:40:50 AM - 001024320926
Just stopped back by for another look at Ketchikan.
9/20/2009 8:25:46 PM - 002029331419
Waaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our trip is over??? Nooo!! I'm so sorry Vancouver is the last page...BUT...It has been a wonderful ride Jamie!!...Nice and steady! :0) Wow!! You did an excellent job on your pics - and pages - ....does Shutterfly 'Feature' a site? If so.......This gets my vote! :0)
Thanks Jamie for your hard work...corpping....placement....and extra infor that made each page an adventure!
OK...You get an A+ on the site :0)
9/20/2009 8:10:19 PM - 001024320926
Love the Vancouver page and this place I can say 'hey that looks familiar'. Love the coffee break pictures and the arriving in Vancouver is great!! I saw one of the painted eagles too!! Granville Island was one of my favorites.
Well I'm sorry that the pages are complete but I love that I can revisit it as often as I want!! Great site Jamie!!!
9/20/2009 7:52:11 PM - 002067758981
You did awesome job on this site.....now looking forward to the balloons in NM!!!
9/20/2009 7:51:12 PM - 002067758981
I just love Vancouver, don't you? Beautiful flowers and city......sad that the vacation was over.....but looking forward to next one!!!
9/20/2009 3:50:37 PM - 002025703401

I've finished the Vancouver page!!!  Unfortunately that was the end of our trip. 

Had dinner with Mom, Kay, and Gina last night.  We are already discussing our next trip to Alaska in a couple of years.  Alaska is a beautiful and special place.  We can't wait to return someday.

9/20/2009 1:14:20 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, I truly love what you have done with this site....just beautiful. The sounds and music fit in and I feel as if i am back in Alaska. Thanks for creating this site. I know where to come when I feel like reliving my trip.. Are you planning on making a photo book too?  Imagine how beautiful that book would be.

Hope your weekend has been going well. Enjoy and see you soon.  I'm leaving this coming Thursday 9/24 so I may not be able to visit till when I return in Oct.   But I hope to have tons of photos to share with you and all my S/F friends.

Take care.
9/20/2009 3:51:43 AM - 002025703401
We spent this evening trying to convince our friend Gina that we get to pick out her shirt colors on vacation next year.... :)
9/19/2009 2:57:57 PM - 002029331419
We saw so many Eagles in Ketchikan...they would follow the incoming boats to see what fish they had caught! It is a great 'play' stop! I loved it...so much to do from walking the city to just bunch of extras! We did the Dealiest Catch boat here....I would love to go back to Ketchikan! ...and what a fantastic clock!! :0)
9/19/2009 1:30:12 PM - 002025703401
As a matter of fact, the three of us agree that our favorites were 1) Harv & Marv whale watching, 2) Ketchikan crab, 3) Kenai Fjord, and 4) Prince William Sound... in that order.
9/19/2009 1:26:45 PM - 001024320926
THe Ketchikan sign is awesome!!
9/19/2009 1:25:44 PM - 001024320926
Red is the side of brillance and happiness. It's a wonderful color, in all it's shades.
9/19/2009 1:23:56 PM - 001024320926
Inside Passage is awesome, very peaceful looking, love the pictures!! But Ketchikan has caught me!! I love the buildings and the interaction, the starfish would have pushed me over the edge of excitement!!! I would have loved every second of that. I loved all the pictures, bear sighting was hilarious and the stairs was very funny. That and the whales are my favorite :)
9/19/2009 12:42:27 PM - 002025703401
Added the Inside Passage page. One more page to go for Vancouver.
9/19/2009 3:53:15 AM - 002025703401
Nerd red ;)
9/19/2009 3:49:31 AM - 002029331419
You both are in a lovely shaed of red! :0)
9/19/2009 3:41:33 AM - 002025703401
Working on finishing it..... Go rewrite it for me! :) Trying to keep it simple.
9/19/2009 3:39:38 AM - 002071401838
I took a sneak peek at the Inside Passage page....It's looking good. Sadly, the trip was almost over at that point.
9/19/2009 3:30:07 AM - 002025703401
Yup! Look at us now.... both in red!
9/19/2009 3:28:14 AM - 002071401838
Raspberry / red - we still dressed alike. You're just in denial.
9/19/2009 3:27:14 AM - 002025703401
Kay.... Goober...... I thought I wasn't suppose to repeat that! And Mom had on raspberry not red..... :)
9/19/2009 3:23:41 AM - 002071401838
Jamie - I did not want to kiss the starfish - just hold it.  And I did not want to put the crab in my backpack - I wanted to put it in my belly!!!!
9/19/2009 3:23:07 AM - 002071401838
Did y'all notice that we all wore red in Ketchikan?
9/19/2009 2:45:32 AM - 002025703401

Devil

9/19/2009 2:39:58 AM - 002029331419
Ok....
Lisa says you keep her Travel Fever Fires stirred up ... which you do...to a number of people!! ha!
It' kinda reads...y'all are talking about 2 different things... sorta....LOL!

Hey Jamie!! Wow...Your Juneau...looked a lot like our day there too...the drizzly kind of day! I really liked Juneau...and would have liked more time there! Your Whales Breaching is so Great!! Wow..to see two of them! When we would see the spray...especially against those green trees...I almost had to remind myself to keep breathing!! I just didn't want to miss...what ever was going to happen after that spray!! LOL!!
Nice Job!...Good Shots on a Good Day! :0)
9/17/2009 12:55:15 PM - 002025703401

9/16/2009 8:58:07 PM - 002025703401
Mrs Cleaver is watching......
9/16/2009 8:53:14 PM - 001024320926
I'll sign :) I have no intentions of betraying you like that. I don't want Big Momma mad at me. Jamie put a good word in for me :)
9/16/2009 8:34:08 PM - 002025703401
We have a verbal agreement... now MOM is wanting me to get it in writing. Someone is in trouble with Mom!!!!
9/16/2009 8:32:45 PM - 001024320926
I did feel better :) Lots better!!
Harsh, Jamie, harsh!! I'm on my own....how come I feel like NM is gonna be a mission to snap and video me in inopportune moments :) Just not bathroom shots and we'll be fine :)
9/16/2009 8:27:51 PM - 002029331419

But...did you feel better getting the pics, Lisa?

See!!!! I knew it was pictures of Jamie!! LOL!!! :0)

9/16/2009 8:25:53 PM - 002025703401
You are on your own. Don't call me..... :)
9/16/2009 8:17:12 PM - 001024320926
I bet she doesn't try to cheer me up anymore :(
9/16/2009 7:48:18 PM - 002025703401
Lisa was feeling a little poorly Saturday night so Dr Jamie sent her some humor picts..... :)
9/16/2009 7:35:29 PM - 002025703401
iPhone magic!!!!
9/16/2009 7:34:17 PM - 002029331419
How did Lisa get nonexistent pictures???? Abra ca dabra.....Nothing up my Sleeve!! LOL!!
9/16/2009 7:22:24 PM - 002025703401
Lisa Di...anne
I had to explain to my mother which nonexistent pictures..... You are in so much trouble!
9/16/2009 6:48:41 PM - 002067758981
OK JAMIE LEIGH, what has Lisa have on you?
9/16/2009 5:23:53 PM - 001024320926
Yes mame.
9/16/2009 4:59:49 PM - 002029331419
In other words "That's a nice dress you have on Mrs. Cleaver".....he he
9/16/2009 4:59:14 PM - 002029331419
LOL!!!
9/16/2009 4:59:08 PM - 001024320926
Sigh.........
9/16/2009 4:53:54 PM - 002025703401
Very good answer...... :)
9/16/2009 4:36:56 PM - 001024320926
I have been nonsensical.
9/16/2009 4:36:04 PM - 001024320926
Therefore and whereas....
9/16/2009 4:35:46 PM - 001024320926
I am left with only a modicum of humor.
9/16/2009 4:34:44 PM - 001024320926
I'm sorry but the party of the first part reported about the circumstantial evidences that in preparation for posting to this site has discovered the evidence is merely a figment of a deranged mind looking for a few laughs. Therefore the party of the first part divests of any knowledge of such circumstantial things.
9/16/2009 4:16:20 PM - 002029331419
Liiisssa.......??
9/16/2009 4:12:28 PM - 002025703401
No pictures exist... therefore they are not on the internet ANYWHERE.....
9/16/2009 4:04:55 PM - 002029331419
Ok.....the Pictures are totally of Jamie!! Lisa...are they on your cell goodie site?...I'm going to look!
9/16/2009 3:58:06 PM - 002025703401
Sleep with one eye open.......
9/16/2009 3:56:00 PM - 001024320926
I've been told I'm smarter than the average dummy.
9/16/2009 3:45:22 PM - 002025703401
And a very good answer considering you have to room with me in Albuquerque......
9/16/2009 3:37:48 PM - 001024320926
What pictures?? I don't know nothin about no pictures :)
(that was a mouth full of double negatives:)
9/16/2009 3:32:17 PM - 002025703401
There are NO pictures..... right Lisa Di...anne
9/16/2009 3:31:28 PM - 002029331419

Beautiful photos Jamie..and Alaska is a wonderful place to visit. Your photos would make even the stay at home person want to travel. Thanks for creating this site and sharing the beauty that Alaska has to offer.

Hope you had a great weekend. Take care.
9/12/2009 6:37:15 PM - 002067758981
hehehehe
9/12/2009 6:35:39 PM - 002025703401
NO Mom!!! Please don't drag anything out!!!
9/12/2009 6:32:03 PM - 002067758981
OK, you two......I'll see what I can drag out.
9/12/2009 6:31:02 PM - 001024320926
Flannel, I love flannel and I have a pair of blue ones with cows and moons that I wear all the time.....in the house :)
9/12/2009 6:30:23 PM - 001024320926
In Linda's defense, the mother in us never turns off :)
I have some green capris that would qualify for the ballooning event :)
9/12/2009 6:26:35 PM - 002025703401
May I remind you that as my mother.... you kept saying "Put your hat on, you're going to get an ear ache". This is all your fault!!!
9/12/2009 6:18:27 PM - 002067758981
Gonna get new pants like in Jeans picture?
9/12/2009 6:12:59 PM - 002025703401
I can't handle all the pressure Lisa.... they made me tell!!!! :)
9/12/2009 6:12:20 PM - 002067758981
Thank you, Jamie.......I did something right when I got you!!
9/12/2009 6:11:15 PM - 002025703401
Gonna find you a chair Big Momma... :)
9/12/2009 6:10:18 PM - 001024320926
Hats!! Oh I love the whole idea of that!! I may start working on that!!
Well I revealed that we are deranged in confidence Jamie...............a little pressure from Jean and you cave like a house of cards!!
9/12/2009 6:09:03 PM - 002067758981
Yeah, right!! Just looked at Jeans balloon pictures. Awesome......I'm a little worried that I will not be able to stand all day!
9/12/2009 6:07:12 PM - 002025703401
Dang, knew I should have gotten that crab hat, the one with the legs!
9/12/2009 6:05:38 PM - 002025703401
Hey!!! No wonder you stayed inside... didn't want your picture taken too!!!!
9/12/2009 6:01:56 PM - 002067758981
Please Jean, I do not know if NM is really ready for the influx of Texans.
9/12/2009 6:00:53 PM - 002067758981
Love ya but the cap pulled up into cone and Kay's pulled down just makes me laugh (like Lisa, falling out of my chair funny)
9/12/2009 5:58:11 PM - 002029331419
Fiesta is the place for funny hats, caps, clothes (see the new header for Balloons) so be sure to bring your cap Jamie...It'll keep your ears warm at least! :0)
9/12/2009 5:53:01 PM - 002025703401
OK.... I almost fell out of my chair.... again!!! Thanks MOM!!! Love you too!!!
9/12/2009 5:51:04 PM - 002067758981
That cap is not the best looking cap!! Kay's either
9/12/2009 5:49:17 PM - 002067758981
You bumped me three times......conehead.
9/12/2009 5:48:40 PM - 002067758981
Jamie, ya'll bumped me twice!!
9/12/2009 5:48:26 PM - 002025703401
Hey! I like flannel sleep pants and a tshirt.... Mine had penquins on them!!! :)
9/12/2009 5:47:07 PM - 002025703401
Mom's afraid you'll find out how deranged we are.... little does she know that your deranged too..... I'm just saying.... telling the truth!!!! :)
9/12/2009 5:46:12 PM - 002029331419

Hey...!I have a new vote for the picture that you need to have on your Christmas Card this year...you and KAY in your Jammies!! LOL!

Your pictures are pretty good....not my favorite page..only because  - to much grey!...but the colorful jammie pics help make up for the lack of color in the water, mountains and skies.. :0)

9/12/2009 5:45:23 PM - 002025703401
Those jammers are for Winter, so you don't get to see them in Albuquerque :)
9/12/2009 5:44:34 PM - 001024320926
Linda is worried Jamie is going to scare me......................now I'm scared :)
9/12/2009 5:43:37 PM - 001024320926
Snoring?? Who told??
Love the new page Jamie. Are those your jammers?? Love the stocking caps, I have one that is multi color and has the braids on each side, love that thing. That will be in the suitcase for Alaska :)
Love the Entering College Fjord and the Harvard Glacier pictures, just beautiful!!
9/12/2009 3:26:24 AM - 002029331419
OI!! Linda!! LOL!
9/12/2009 3:03:28 AM - 002067758981
Carp, as Joel says. You better find me some ear plugs.
9/12/2009 2:16:54 AM - 002025703401
Why? Kay is not going to Albuquerque.... :) and I understand Lisa snores like a bear too!!! :)
9/12/2009 1:55:49 AM - 002067758981
JAMIE, you are going to scare Lisa!!!!
9/12/2009 12:51:47 AM - 002025703401
Kay snores LOUD, like a bear...... sorry Kay but it's true!!!
9/12/2009 12:48:03 AM - 002029331419
If Jamie Snores, and Linda talks in her sleep....is Kay the Sleepwalker of your Trio? :0)
9/11/2009 7:14:14 PM - 002025703401

I don't snore........ :) just like you don't talk in your sleep..... :) :)

She was talking about a bracelet one night. :)

9/11/2009 7:13:36 PM - 002067758981
Oh yeah, we were in line, in line to catch Jamie with her mouth open and snoring!!!
9/11/2009 4:27:47 PM - 001024320926
Yeahhhhh, riiiiiiight, you kept them in line, ahum, me thinks not!!!
9/11/2009 3:06:41 PM - 002025703401
Hey.... It's exhausting work keeping those two in line!!!!
9/11/2009 2:34:23 PM - 001024320926
LOL!! I love the exhaustion pictures!! Those look alot like my Xanax Coma on the Vancouver flight :) LOL!!
Love all the pictures, looks like your view on the ship was incredible, love the room too.
9/11/2009 2:05:16 PM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie!! What a fun page! Your cabin is really nice! And the ship pics are good too!
I thought your dress up pics is VERY Good of both, you and Linda!l
And...I can relate to your exhausted pics too....but what a great way to get exhausted!! LOL!
9/11/2009 12:16:32 PM - 002067758981
Lisa should have a falling down laughing spell after looking at the latest pictures on Diamond Princess page.....lol
9/11/2009 2:11:00 AM - 002025703401
Added the Diamond Princess page and it has Lisa's favorite type of pictures... Goobers!
9/10/2009 7:31:16 PM - 002029331419
I'm glad you've added some of the flowers from up there!! For a short growing season...they were beautiful...and so many different kinds!
I loved the Forget-me-nots...did you get pics of those? Where are they?
9/10/2009 4:10:38 PM - 001024320926
Prince William Sound page is awesome. Love all the beautiful scenery, sea lions, sea otters and coffee drinkers :)
That truly looks like an amazing place to see :)
9/10/2009 3:10:50 PM - 002025703401
Jean, my favorites are the ones with some clouds and sky..... Sky, Mountains, glaciers, and ocean together.... Simply Breathtaking for me!!! :)

PS. Still got my eye on Cheri....... sassy Cajun girls are not to be trusted around food..... just saying!!!
9/10/2009 2:01:44 PM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie!! On the New Page: Review Comments made on the last 6 pages!! :0)

Really though...this is a beautiful page, and only because I've been up there - to know the depts of some of the mountains scenes and how majestic they look, and then with a Glacier coming through - - Great Pictures!! I think my favorites are the ones where the sky clears up, waters are clam and the reflections just fill up the whole picture frame!! And the Water Falls....I thought they were so amazing...and Everywhere!! It's great!
9/10/2009 12:56:49 PM - 002025703401
Cheri there were actually 5 or 6 crabs in the tank. So I'll give you one but ya can't have MINE!!!! :)
9/10/2009 12:34:58 PM - 000093706714
Jamie: I am soooooo enjoying viewing Alaska thru your lense! SO beautiful.

And Re: Jamie's crab comment....POUT! I am gonna have to talk to your momma about that!

9/10/2009 11:20:50 AM - 001024320926
Jamie, I do have a little Canon with video......
9/9/2009 7:54:34 PM - 001076975951
Jamie,
 You have made an amazing travel site...WOW. I love the layout and all the photos you have shared.
I revamped my travel site just a bit. First of all because I was bored and need to clean up. Second because I will add several pages from my upcoming cruise. I already have the 2 sites and making a third one would be way to much for me.
 For me I will just dedicate a page for each city/port of call. Plus I want to be able to visit my S/F friends and having 3 sites is just way too much. Kudos on the amazing work you are doing here. Plus your other sites rocks as well.  Yes

Keep up the great job and have a good day.
9/9/2009 7:39:51 PM - 002025703401
There are 9 pages..... but I'm not sure on the videos. Can't remember my pictures let alone the videos...... I'm looking at one day at a time.
Goobers R Us Road Show - hope Jean is ready for it?!?!?
9/9/2009 5:44:21 PM - 001024320926
Love all the pictures on here. How many more pages can we expect and how many more make me laugh til I pass out videos are there?
9/9/2009 4:54:13 PM - 002029331419
Kinda quiet in the office...I could use a laugh...came to watch the video again...he he...
There, I'm better now!!
But I think you are wise above your years....keeeping your day job!! :0)
9/9/2009 2:55:20 PM - 001024320926
I knew!! Well it wasn't hard because you told me ya'll were goobers :)
I love the new page!! The video had me on the floor!! You're killing me :)
9/9/2009 1:58:28 PM - 002025703401
News Flash: I think everyone knew we were goobers a long, long time ago!!! LOL!!!
9/9/2009 1:22:51 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, Your Alaska site is fabulous and I love all the photos you have been sharing. You said it BREATHTAKING!! Looking forward to Prince William Sound. Jamie are you going to make a photo book next? What a keepsake that would be. Enjoy you day and I'll be by tomorrow.
9/9/2009 12:49:35 PM - 002067758981
Now everyone knows 'goobers are us'....I don't think they knew before, Jamie!!!!  hehehehe
9/9/2009 2:51:59 AM - 002025703401

9/8/2009 7:24:06 PM - 002029331419
Sealife Center Note: That Crab would look all dressed up and pretty, in a lovely shade of butter yellow! he he

9/8/2009 2:11:30 PM - 002029331419
LOL!!! That's funny Linda!! I think she does!! :0)
9/8/2009 11:43:15 AM - 002067758981
Jean, Jamie needs to take something for that cough, huh?
9/8/2009 11:37:53 AM - 002067758981
I'll settle this one....I'm the oldest.....and I did not and do not want to kiss a stingray or a puffin!!! I didn't much want to touch the stingray or the starfish but I did!!!
9/8/2009 3:14:22 AM - 002029331419
That's so very pro-active of you....he he :0)
9/8/2009 3:05:33 AM - 002025703401
Just making sure Cheri knows ALL the facts..... :)
9/8/2009 2:51:44 AM - 002029331419
Hey now!!
9/8/2009 2:19:14 AM - 002025703401
Cheri.... I think Jean is the oldest (and wisest..... {cough} {cough})...... :)
9/8/2009 2:11:54 AM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie!
Nice new Page!! You know those starfish that look like a big sun!?...Those were in Ketchikan...right by the Deadliest Catch boat ... I loved looking at them! They are so Big and so many colors!! I'm so glad you got their picture! :0)
Kay...I don't think you wanted to kiss a Puffin....hold one ..yeah...kiss one...uhuh!
Cheri...the oldest??...bahahahah!!
...And I'm ready for you guys to come!!...Are you ready for ME?...
9/8/2009 1:47:49 AM - 002071401838
I did - I was the only one who did. You others chickened out. But, that has nothing to do with the puffin.
9/8/2009 1:36:21 AM - 000093706714
Jamie...I am OFFICIALLY letting you off of the trip report detail. (I think I am the oldest so I can pull rank! hehehehe) You are doing a FAB job putting up the pics and I hate to see you get distracted on other duties!
9/7/2009 11:35:18 PM - 002025703401
Hey! Who kissed a stingray?????
9/7/2009 10:48:44 PM - 002071401838
Jamie - What are you talking about on the SeaLife Center page? I did not want to kiss a puffin, I wanted to hold a puffin.
9/7/2009 8:05:11 PM - 002025703401
Thanks Big Momma!
9/7/2009 8:01:11 PM - 002067758981

9/7/2009 2:31:24 PM - 002067758981
Are you working on sealife center pictures today?
9/7/2009 2:30:11 PM - 002067758981
Well, its not like we take the whole month of June and September!!
9/7/2009 2:25:56 PM - 002025703401
Especially if it involves Big Momma...... :)
9/7/2009 2:12:59 PM - 002067758981
Jamie, haven't I taught you to share? Oh wait, that doesn't pertain to vacations, does it? hehehe
9/7/2009 1:33:47 PM - 002025703401
Jean, the Alaskan Trip Report that Lisa mentions is the pictures I sent her on my iPhone...... :)
Marcia, Kim, and Darla - Who has seniority...... Oh, that's right...... It's JAMIE!!!!! 23 years and I get first choice....
9/7/2009 4:06:21 AM - 002071551455
Hey the three of you better leave some room for me to travel too. Too bad we can't all be gone at the same time. We could really have a great time.
9/7/2009 3:52:31 AM - 002029331419
And....I thought Lisa mentioned a Alaskan Trip Report!?!
Well...in your spare time, could you get a jump on that? LOL!
9/7/2009 3:51:39 AM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie!! Nice Job with the Glacier!! I've seen beautiful pics of the 'Blue' that is in the Glaciers...but it's really hard to describe!!! Your pics are really nice!! Good Job on the hike too!!
Yeah....it's an amazing place!!
9/7/2009 3:09:34 AM - 002025703401
Thanks Lisa!
And Kim, you have May, July, and August to choose from.......
9/7/2009 2:52:14 AM - 001024320926
I get 4 weeks vacation every year and it doesn't seem like I go any where, maybe because it pales in comparasion to this awesome trip.
Love the new pictures Jamie!! Beautiful pictures!!
9/7/2009 2:32:19 AM - 002049843840
Darla looks like our June Alaskan cruise is off.........Crying Sad
9/7/2009 2:11:45 AM - 000093706714
Oh my goodness..........these images are INCREDIBLE Jamie! Alaska has really moved up on my 'places I must go' list. WOW, WOW, WOW.........BEAUTIFUL JOB!
9/7/2009 1:41:56 AM - 002025703401

Both of you get three weeks, the same amount of time I get...... So don't expect me to feel sorry for you!!! :)
Mom and I discussed trips for next year today.... :)

9/7/2009 1:32:10 AM - 002067758981

Hey Jamie! Just checked out your newest page...fantastic...of course! And Linda your picture is really good too! I have a P/S Nikon...and I've gotten some really good shots with it!

The Puffins are cool! Great Job!!....Can't wait for the next page! :0)
9/6/2009 3:06:06 PM - 002025703401
You know it does.... I think you told me to go back out on deck after I finished..... :)
9/6/2009 2:54:03 PM - 002067758981
Does hot chocolate effect you the same way as coffee?......look at your eyes in that picture!!!!!!
9/6/2009 2:29:57 PM - 002025703401
Thanks Mom!  That was a hard decision....  We have so many beautiful shots from that day.  It took me hours to decide!!!
And Lisa, glad I could help... anything for the cause.... The cause of "Take Lisa to Alaska Campaign"..... LOL!!!
9/6/2009 2:26:54 PM - 002067758981
Header picture is so beautiful on the Kenai Fjord page....
9/6/2009 2:13:16 PM - 001024320926
Jamie I loved the new page!!! I made Randy come in here and look at the whale video. He loved it and I am that much closer to getting to go!!!!!!
9/6/2009 1:55:21 PM - 002067758981
Great!!!!
9/6/2009 1:12:05 PM - 002025703401

9/5/2009 3:18:21 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, This site is FABULOUS!!!! I love all the pages you have been adding. I think I'm going to relieve my Alaska adventure through your photos. Thanks for sharing Jamie. This site get the 5 star rating. *****

Some of my personal favorites are the header on the Seward page it looks like a postcard.  Beautiful.  The photo of St. Peter's church, Resurrection Bay, Six Mile River and of course all the flowers & waterfalls.  Just breathtaking....  Are you sure you are'nt  a Pro? 

have a wonderful weekend and just have fun..
9/5/2009 1:41:29 AM - 001024320926
Linda it looks like ya'll have fun wherever you go and I think that's awesome, even just being hopped up on coffee makes me laugh :)
9/4/2009 8:41:00 PM - 002067758981
Lisa, I know you will probably see Jamie with too much coffee in NM.....to tell you the truth...I do not know what set us off but all three of us could not stop laughing...too excited to sleep and besides Jamie had us on a tight schedule!!!
9/4/2009 8:39:09 PM - 002067758981
What is with this site today...none of my comments are showing up?
9/4/2009 7:09:27 PM - 002071551455
Love the sea otter pictures. He is really cute
9/4/2009 3:21:34 PM - 002025703401
It's your bus Lisa dear!!!! :)
9/4/2009 2:52:08 PM - 001024320926
Did I just get thrown under the bus again? Linda I merely stated that I wanted to see Jamie hopped up on coffee while we are in NM.
Seward Page is awesome!! Love it all especially the End of the day catch. Looks like an absolutely beautiful place.
I love the header picture, it's gorgeous!!
9/4/2009 12:41:48 PM - 002029331419
OHHHH!!! Very cool Seward Page!! I love the videos too - I don't know how to do that just yet...but I like it!
Isn't that such a beautiful Header pic too...one of my favorites so far! I loved when we pulled into Seward - and I wanted to stay...next trip...we will!
Wow...crazy Fishermen...look at all that they caught!!
I'm gonna look some more.....
9/4/2009 11:44:51 AM - 002025703401

That was Lisa!!!! (Not me Momma......)

 

Seward page is up..... :)

9/4/2009 11:22:31 AM - 002067758981
JAMIE LEIGH, no more comments about the coffee break.
9/3/2009 11:06:57 PM - 002025703401
I think it was you..... :)
9/3/2009 9:41:31 PM - 002029331419
I Must agree with Cheri!!

Jamie...Did I say that??? LOL!!!
9/3/2009 8:07:18 PM - 002025703401
Jean said it best on her site....
Goobers and Shutterfly just seem to go together..... :)
9/3/2009 8:04:06 PM - 000093706714
Can there really ever be too many 'goober' pictures? I mean....from the viewing audience perspective, these are called 'Highlights!' I am just saying....
9/3/2009 4:40:33 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, Your photos are fabulous and WOW what an adventure you have had. How are you, Kay & your mom feeling? Still rocking? I think I'll have a look around...I know there will be new additions since i was last here. Enjoy your labor day weekend Jamie and have fun.
9/3/2009 2:06:39 PM - 002025703401
A little better.... just really tired..... :)
9/3/2009 1:24:13 PM - 002067758981

9/3/2009 3:45:41 AM - 002025703401
For all you people who are sucking up (trying to rush me), I've added the Seward Highway page. This is one afternoon of pictures.
9/3/2009 1:54:07 AM - 002067758981
She's got to be tough, working and answering to all of us and not having time to sort thur all those wonderful pictures that I know they took...plus not feeling well.
9/3/2009 1:49:46 AM - 001024320926
Jamie, ditto what Jean said :)
9/3/2009 12:55:38 AM - 002029331419
Jamie!! You Rock....and you know it!! You take the heat from all of us here, and at work and your still willing to get your pictures up on the right pages so we get to share in your trip!! I'm just saying...... :0)
9/2/2009 9:35:54 PM - 002025703401
Yes to both questions...... :)
9/2/2009 9:27:27 PM - 002067758981
Jamie, are you doing the pictures for each day or excursion on different page?
9/2/2009 8:33:09 PM - 002067758981
Jamie kept telling them their check would be in the mail.
9/2/2009 8:32:15 PM - 002067758981
lol Lisa........think they all needed glasses very badly!!!
9/2/2009 8:26:48 PM - 001024320926
LOL!! So who's whose sister?? Is that even grammatically correct?? I think I sprained my tongue.
9/2/2009 8:22:52 PM - 002025703401
I have to pay them to say it.........
9/2/2009 8:18:14 PM - 002049843840
Do people think that you and Jamie are sisters???? uummmmm
9/2/2009 8:16:28 PM - 002067758981
Had to pay a lot of people off, huh sis?
9/2/2009 8:10:24 PM - 002067758981
Oh yeah, more days.......huh sister?
9/2/2009 8:00:06 PM - 002025703401
No comment.......
9/2/2009 7:58:51 PM - 002029331419

What about the 'sister' thing?

Will there be more days when there is a color theme through out the pictures?   just wondering!

9/2/2009 7:56:21 PM - 002067758981
Ask her about the 'sister' thing!!!
9/2/2009 7:43:16 PM - 002025703401
OH PLEASE...... It is getting DEEP now!!!!!!
9/2/2009 7:38:34 PM - 002029331419
Ms Linda...I gave her a possible out...I asked her if this was your Power Travel color and she coulda said "Yes!"...but I think secretly...she knew you and Kay looked 'Hot' in Red...and she wanted that look!!
:0)
9/2/2009 6:36:53 PM - 001024320926
LOL!! So it was Jamie's idea!!
9/2/2009 6:29:52 PM - 002025703401
Yes.... and Kim is being mean to me on the other site too!!!
9/2/2009 6:21:02 PM - 002067758981
Was that a whine?
9/2/2009 6:09:50 PM - 002025703401
But you made me wear the same color......
9/2/2009 5:49:50 PM - 002067758981
Jean, you know better than to believe her saying that we made her do anything!!! Started off as a joke......at one of the hotels, someone asked if we planned the colors we wore...I worried more abut them two wearing the same shirt as I had on.....not the color.
9/2/2009 2:57:07 PM - 002025703401
OK.... I'm 46 years old and my Mom tells me what to wear....... :) We have clothes check every morning on vacation.......
Working on another page tonight. Gotta work work today. :(
And some people just naturally ask for the bus to hit them....... LOL!!!!
9/2/2009 2:50:51 PM - 002029331419
Your Mom dressed you in Alaska???
9/2/2009 2:35:52 PM - 001024320926
I love red!! Jean did you throw me under a bus?? :):):) So will day 2 make the pages today?? Just wondering, trying to plan my day............whistle, humm, no pressure!
Love that I made the Anchorage page, woohoo!! I almost feel like I went to Alaska :)
9/2/2009 3:25:41 AM - 002025703401
They made me wear red like them!!!!
9/2/2009 3:13:40 AM - 002029331419
ya think? ha!!
9/2/2009 3:09:31 AM - 002049843840
did i bump you???
9/2/2009 3:08:46 AM - 002029331419

Kim...........

 

Hey Jamie!! GREAT FIRST DAY!!! Wasn't it kinda freaky that it was daylight all but 4-5 hours!?  I see that you all chose a lovely shade of red to wear your fist day...is that so you wouldn't lose each other?...or your Power travel color...It actually looks really good on all 3 of you! :0)

Well...now that you have at least got a start on posting your pictures I won't hassel you about getting more up like Lisa would   ..............Just Kidding!!!...LOL!!  When's the next batch coming up??!! ah ha ha ha!!

9/2/2009 3:08:32 AM - 002049843840
Cool Anchorage photos....that train depot looked familiar........

9/2/2009 2:03:45 AM - 002025703401
Lisa, did ya notice you were along for the ride in Anchorage? :)
9/2/2009 1:59:12 AM - 001024320926
Oh, I was swaying side to side when I wrote that!!! Did it help any?
9/2/2009 1:58:44 AM - 001024320926
Love the Anchorage page!! Love the pictures!! Too fun!!
9/2/2009 1:33:15 AM - 002025703401
Not to bad..... but I'm in my rocking recliner..... :)
9/2/2009 1:32:35 AM - 002067758981
Still rocking here, are you?
9/2/2009 1:31:49 AM - 002067758981
Good start on Anchorage!!!
You surfer girl you....lol
9/1/2009 7:35:33 PM - 002025703401
Mom and Kay hand me their camera's and I have all the memory cards downloaded together.......
Together, we have about 5600 pictures!!! I'm working on it!!!
9/1/2009 7:28:48 PM - 002029331419
In 31 days to be exact..........he he...sorry Lisa!
But I seriously wonder what's taking sooo long too?
.......But Linda.....didn't you take your camera too? And don't forget to push a little on Kay....She took her camera too!
9/1/2009 7:03:02 PM - 002067758981
Joanne, she has thousands of pictures to sort!!!!!
9/1/2009 6:43:14 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, thanks for the postcard...Love it!!! Looking forward to the photos you'll be sharing. Now, now ladies patience is needed. I'm sure Jamie has hundreds of photos to sort through. Have a good day and sway to the flow...
9/1/2009 6:34:20 PM - 002025703401
Reminder to Lisa: I will be seeing you in person in about a month..... and I have a longgggg memory.........
9/1/2009 5:24:15 PM - 002067758981
I'm with Lisa, where are the pictures......????? Will you be working on them tonight? Or today? Or tomorrow? You having to 'work' today?
9/1/2009 5:16:57 PM - 001024320926
I know you're sorting pictures, working, catching up with the gang and battling motion sickness but honestly..........what's taking so long :):)

I can say that because I'm all the way up in North Texas and you can't get here quick enough to slap me :)
9/1/2009 4:54:57 PM - 000093706714

Jamie, Well I hope you had some R&R yesterday and are back at work. Afterall you have to save up for your 2010 cruise to New England. You'll need a new countdown clock as well. I love the 3 crabs page..it is fabulous. Welcome home. I bet your still reliving the days in your mind. Will you be making a photo book? Are you going to share some photos on CC too? I catch later Jamie. have good day.

9/1/2009 12:40:15 PM - 002067758981
You have to go back for a second trip...can't see everything in one trip.
9/1/2009 3:18:46 AM - 002029331419
Well Lookey Here....I went to get our mail tonight and there is a card...a Postcard from some really awesome place callllllled... Alaska!!
Love it Jamie, Kay and Linda!! Thanks!

I think I hear Alaska calling me back there next year!!...I can dream...can't I???
9/1/2009 1:34:18 AM - 002029331419
LOL!!!
9/1/2009 1:14:26 AM - 002025703401
Mother!!!!
9/1/2009 12:23:33 AM - 002029331419
LOL!! Linda!! Your feeling better...because That Was really Funny!! :0) I sure missed you guys!! he he
8/31/2009 10:40:54 PM - 002067758981
Me too, Jean. My Jamie is not good on roller skates, she has a hard time in tennis shoes.......hehehehe
8/31/2009 9:01:05 PM - 002029331419
Oooo but if you do get on roller skates...I want to see a picture of THAT!! :0)
8/31/2009 6:18:43 PM - 002025703401
Me on roller skates is an accident waiting to happen...... The washer is a good idea, but I just finished unpacking.... Dang!
8/31/2009 5:50:05 PM - 001024320926
For sure, no more unpacking for you. Start the dryer and the washer, then put your suitcase on top of them, unpack while they are spinning and adjating......hey it's just an idea. Add roller skates if that doesn't help.
Linda I'm sorry you're spinning, feel better!!
8/31/2009 5:17:24 PM - 002025703401
Everytime I sit on the floor pulling things out of the suitcases I get dizzy........ Maybe I should not unpack????
8/31/2009 5:13:07 PM - 002029331419
Awww Linda!! So sorry Lady!!..But it will pass...just takes time --or more medication!!
8/31/2009 4:47:12 PM - 002067758981
This is just not right............don't like it one bit. Hard to move my head with the room moving on me..... Talk to you people later.
8/31/2009 4:40:12 PM - 002025703401
And you point is.......
8/31/2009 4:33:49 PM - 002049843840
You know we did have a tornado while you were gone......
8/31/2009 4:17:47 PM - 002025703401
A windy road in Southeast Texas???????
8/31/2009 3:41:06 PM - 002029331419
OOOooo.... yeah.... my desk seems to sway back and forth for a couple of days...I guess that's because I'm sitting still!!...Maybe if she could go for a ride in the truck...on a windy road?
8/31/2009 2:51:13 PM - 002025703401
Will you at least let me drink my morning coffee??????
Just talked to Mom, she is having trouble with motion sickness now......

Beautiful weather today in Vancouver. We did an overview city tour so Kay could see Vancouver. Were going out to dinner for our final seafood dinner, but we were toooo tired! Oh well..... :)
Flight home tomorrow. See you guys soon!!! :)

8/29/2009 7:02:27 PM - 001024320926
Love that you've read about the spirit stick and the Christmas card, lol!!
I think Jean is right that you miss us so much that you got sea sick. I'm doing this on my phone, that's how much I miss being on line!!! International is wildly expensive!!
8/29/2009 6:56:42 PM - 002025703401

Kay says Jamie was green...... She was a true friend and did not take a picture!
Very strong winds had the ship rocking and rolling until the inside passage by Vancouver Island.
And sure I was home sick...... :)
P.S. I have read about the big stick and my Christmas card photo!!!!

Just got exit row seats for tomorrow's flight home!!! :) :)

8/29/2009 6:43:41 PM - 002029331419
The last day on the ship...and you got sea sick? Was there a storm?
And you sure it was sea sick.....not Home Sick...because I think your missing us a lot these days!! LOL!... JK!!
8/29/2009 6:36:40 PM - 002025703401
Guess who was seasick most of Friday????? Feeling better now that we are on land! :)
8/29/2009 4:46:45 AM - 001024320926
Can not wait to see all the pictures!!
8/28/2009 2:22:18 PM - 002066891012
Hey you, I know ya'll ate some of the crabs thinking of me. Hurry home I want to see all of the pics.
8/28/2009 12:25:50 AM - 002025703401

Hi Guys!!!! What a crab feast!!!! I may not want crab for a couple of days.... Maybe not.... :)  The three crabs maybe safe until we get home!!! 

After reviewing our Juneau pictures last night, Kay and I both got pictures of the breaching whales!!!  AWESOME!!!!

8/27/2009 6:06:37 PM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie, Kay and Linda!! We miss you guys...but this is where I look a couple of times a day to see what's new!
Ketchikan is a cool little town! Have fun! And the Whales...Ya just never get tired of seeing them! :0)
8/27/2009 5:50:55 PM - 001024320926
Man those crabs have been busy!! Love the update pictures on the 3 Crabs!!
Whales.........does it get better than that!!
8/27/2009 2:32:48 PM - 002025703401
Saw two whales breaching yesterday!!! AWESOME!!!!
Don't worry, crab is on the schedule today, so Drucella, Big Momma, and Taco are safe!
8/27/2009 2:26:25 PM - 001076975951
Jamie,
You are so creative, I love your 3 crabs page. It is fantastic! So much fun. I wish I could come up with a cute and clever idea like that.
Keep thinking of you everyday and wondering what  is Jamie  doing right now?   Enjoy your time in Ketchikan. More crabs and shopping, sounds perfect.   Be safe. 
8/26/2009 3:13:35 PM - 002029331419
How can I be in trouble with Linda? Look at all of the liquid fun she is having! -see 3 Crab page!-
Today is Juneau - Have a Wonderful Day!! We Miss All ya All!!
8/26/2009 2:49:39 PM - 002071551455
The thought of being on a ship miles from civilization with no crabs to eat could push Jamie over the edge. Be careful and watch for warning signs.
A tendancy to walk sideways
An orange to red glow around the gills (excuse me, the ears)
and making a clicking noise with claws, oops I mean her finger nails.
8/26/2009 1:55:30 PM - 002049843840
If Jamie has to many days without crabs, Taco, Drucilla and Big Momma(aka the 3 crabs) better watch out Jamie may search the ship for a crab pot........
8/26/2009 1:29:48 PM - 002071551455
I have already talked to AA about the crabs. Seems like they have never had this situation come up before. I threatened a discrimination suit and they agreed to take them in if they agree to lose the hats.
The pictures are beautiful
Miss ya
8/26/2009 1:24:29 PM - 002071887921
glad you guys are having fun...miss you here!!! all this talk and pics, make me want to plan the next trip there!
8/26/2009 1:18:10 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, This is so much fun viewing all your photos from day to day and reliving my cruise to Alaska back in 2006. The lakes & mountains are truly beautiful. Glad that you are having a wonderful time and I think the adventures of the 3 crabs is LOL fun. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
8/26/2009 12:14:16 PM - 002085806539
I can see you all are having a wonderful time and I am too!! Every morning when I get to work the first thin I do is check your page and enjoy looking at the pictures while drinking a cup of coffee. It is great. Thanks for sharing!!!!! Hope we can see you all at the beach for Labor Day.
Maria
8/26/2009 3:35:44 AM - 002025703401
News Flash..... No crab today!!!!
I will survive.... I think..... :)
Skagway was rainy but we found some sunshine in the Yukon. Another great day! The mountains and lakes were beautiful.
Jean..... You are in trouble with my Mom..... better you than me..... :)
8/25/2009 2:12:17 PM - 002084887912
I am so jealous, sounds like ya'll are having a great time. Kaya we miss you!
Becky
8/25/2009 6:05:18 AM - 002025703401
I'm worried we may not find any crab tomorrow!!!  Sad
Glacier Bay was soooo beautiful today! It was rainy and foggy for most of the trip in. Suddenly right before we arrived at the glaciers, the rain let up and the fog lifted. AWESOME!!! It was snowing on some of the peaks. Man-o-man are we missing the Texas heat.... NOT!
Skagway tomorrow, we are taking the cell phones out of the safe and will try to call.......
It's 10pm, I just stepped out on the balcony and there is not a light in sight. Weird.....
8/25/2009 3:47:42 AM - 002029331419
Jamie!! Skagway was one of my favorite stops!! yea!! You've seen and done so much!! Fantastic!! We had Crab in SF - so good! Why does your lily white skin have a pinkish tint to it?? ....and your eyes look smaller too....??? he he ;0)
8/24/2009 10:45:59 PM - 002072715472
They are going to have to ration out the crabs on ship just so Jamie can get her fix for the day!!!!
8/24/2009 10:44:51 PM - 002072715472
You bumped me Lisa!!! Paybacks LOL
8/24/2009 10:44:31 PM - 001024320926
Love the adventures of the 3 Crabs :)
8/24/2009 10:42:54 PM - 001024320926
Jamie you are altering the amount of crab being shipped out to the rest of the states.
8/24/2009 10:42:19 PM - 001024320926
Kim you bumped me!! I've never seen anyone swing their hips to bump someone like that before :) :)
8/24/2009 10:41:25 PM - 002072715472
Marcia figured the cake thing out. Glad ya'll are having a great time....try to stay warm. I have responded to your email, but getting nothing from you.....you miss us don't you!!!!!!
This is Kim by the way...LOL
8/24/2009 9:44:59 PM - 002071551455
Hey which cake am I supposed to bake for Louise tonight?
8/24/2009 9:44:27 PM - 002071551455
She better not be crabby when she gets back.
8/24/2009 9:34:28 PM - 002071401838
Hey, all. We are having an awesome time. We are cruising Glacier Bay today. It's overcast but we're still having a good time. Jamie has eaten so much crab that Linda and I think she is going to turn in to one. Talk to y'all later.
8/24/2009 9:29:09 PM - 002025703401
Just had crab salad for lunch.......
8/24/2009 6:45:42 PM - 002025703401

This morning we are entering Glacier Bay. So far, we have seen about 6 whales, a sea otter, and an eagle. The temp is about 54, but it is damp and windy. So we have a lot of layers on.
Update: Kay just spotted another whale. :)

We had crab quiche last night.....  That makes another day of crab..... :) :) :)

8/23/2009 9:50:51 PM - 002071551455
You be sure and come back now. We need you and it sounds like it wouldn't take much for you stay! What is the temperature up there during the day?
8/23/2009 9:47:58 PM - 002049843840
Sounds like ya'll are having a blast....hope the weather continues to be good. Keep your arms and legs inside the railings at all times (Jamie).....LOL!! You know you may turn into a crab if you keep eating so much of it...LOL..
8/23/2009 8:09:48 PM - 002025703401
Hi Everyone!!!
Yesterday, we drove from Seward to Whittier. First, we took a 6 hour tour of Prince William Sound and then boarded the Diamond Prince. Had crab cakes for lunch...... :) We again had beautiful weather and saw lots of glaciers and sea otters.
This morning, the Diamond Prince sailed to Harvard Glacier. It was huge! Currently, we have a misty sea fog. Tomorrow is all day Glacier Bay!
8/22/2009 4:45:29 PM - 001024320926
Love the new pictures Jamie, looks like you are getting you quota of crab :) Have a great time!!
8/22/2009 2:03:45 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, I am so glad that you are having a wonderful time up north. Love the header on this page. Beautiful. I love the crabs photos...too cute. Hope the remaining days are filled with adventure and non stop fun. Take care.
8/22/2009 5:43:55 AM - 002025703401
We had another nice day today! :) The weather was beautiful!!! Saw a sea otter from our hotel window this morning.
Started the day with a drive on Bear Creek road looking for bear. No luck yet.... But it was fun watching the salmon trying to swim up steam. Mom felt sorry for them.....
After that we hiked at Exit Glacier. Kay and I hiked the handicap trail with Mom to the glacier view point. From there, Kay and I hiked the trail to the edge of the glacier. It was awesome!
For lunch, we ate at a dive Kim told us about call Thorn's Showcase. Really good fried halibut, "bucket of buts".
Next on the agenda was the Alaska Sealife Center. Saw fish, puffins, other birds, and a sea lion up close.
Later on we took a drive to Lowell Point. Saw a sea otter in the water. They are soooo cute.
Made a quick stop for supplies at Safeway. Had to have a Starbucks coffee to give us a jump start. (Yes..... I was wired.)
Had dinner at Chinooks again. Coconut crab cakes and king crab legs. Yummmm!!!
Finishing the day doing laundry.... YUCK!! :)
8/21/2009 8:46:50 PM - 001024320926
Love the header!!! I have 32 pictures on your sildeshow now, love them. Thanks for giving me a peek into your Alaskan dream :)
Hope ya'll are having a wonderous time!!
8/21/2009 7:17:06 PM - 002071551455
I am glad you are having fun. It was especially nice that you didn't get sick on the boat. Love the pictures and the music
Miss ya
8/21/2009 3:55:09 PM - 001076975951
Sounds like you are having a blast and making precious memories. Wish i were there. Jamie thanks for the updates and all the pictures too. I love it!!! Love the sounds on the page too. Have a wondeful day.
8/21/2009 3:18:35 PM - 002067758981
Hey everyone! Great time yesterday.....all I can say everyone needs to visit this state!!!!!
8/21/2009 2:55:06 PM - 002025703401

Yesterday, we did the Northwestern Fjord cruise (9 hours) with Kenai Fjord Tours. We all agree it was outstanding! We were worried about being seasick, but had no problems. Saw humpback whales, orca whales, sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, starfish, horn puffins, tufted puffins, glaciers, waterfalls, and so much more. It was truly an AWESOME day!!!

We finished the exhausted but had a nice seafood dinner at Ray's on the waterfront.

Mom's knees are killing her, so we are going to try taking it easy on her today......

8/20/2009 2:43:07 PM - 002071401838
Good morning. Jamie's right - we are having a great time. Here's a tip for anyone on vacation with Jamia - DON'T LET HER HAVE COFFEE!! She was so hyped up yesterday that I thought I was going to have to make her run along side the car as Linda and I drove down the highway!!!
8/20/2009 12:30:58 PM - 001076975951
Jamie, Hope you all have a blast up north. Enjoy and I love the photos you are sharing through Lisa's site. FABULOUS!!!! Happy sailing and be safe.
8/20/2009 4:17:37 AM - 002025703401
Well, here's the story......
Mom and Kay think I'm ignoring them if I play or work on the iphone. I'm allowed to send pictures but not constantly check email or text..... Have to sneak in email or text time.
We had the best time today. Spent the morning in Anchorage doing a little shopping. Then for the remainder of the day, we took our time driving the Seward Highway. BEAUTIFUL!!!! We have laughed and laughed at each other.
What a great day! :)
8/19/2009 10:10:02 PM - 002071551455
Kim and I have sent you several e-mails today. Is there a connection problem or are you ignoring us? We are getting the pictures fine but when we reply you don't respond.
8/19/2009 4:49:25 PM - 000093706714
Sorry no sleep.......BUT glad to hear you are already buying us presents! YEAH! (That is what you meant, right???) hehehehehehe
8/19/2009 2:07:54 PM - 002025703401
Never really slept on the fight. YUCK!!! I hate to fly!!!
8/19/2009 1:28:15 PM - 002029331419
Hey Jamie! I'm not surprised your not asleep...didn't you take about a 7 hour nap on the plane? :0) We'll take off here in a couple of hours...I'll check back in on Sunday...keep snapping and have tons of fun! :0)
8/19/2009 11:52:06 AM - 002025703401
We are here! It's 6:50am at home, but 3:50am here. I'm awake but Mom and Kay are still sleeping. Kay and I made a Walmart run last night and hit the jackpot on souvenirs..... :)
8/19/2009 10:44:08 AM - 002083491910
Good morning! Ya'll made it! I can't wait to see pictures. I'll get Mom over to see them as soon as Jamie gets them online. Time to get the boys up for school. Ya'll have a great time.
8/19/2009 3:16:52 AM - 002049843840
They just landed in Alaska.....YEAH!!!!!
I am so excited for them......I guess because I know what they are going to experience.....beautiful, beautiful place.
8/18/2009 8:39:03 PM - 000093706714
53 minutes until takeoff! Glad you got the roomie seating. We do the same and it does make things more comfortable!

8/18/2009 11:32:08 AM - 002025703401
Talked to Gina this morning, she is kicking herself..... She could be on vacation starting today. :(
8/18/2009 10:38:32 AM - 002067758981
I am laughing as I'm reading.....so glad someone else besides family sees the goober side of her..hehehehehe
8/18/2009 2:55:46 AM - 002049843840
That is so true!!!!! LOL!!
8/18/2009 2:55:24 AM - 002025703401
I don't freak out very often..... just over vacation stuff :)
8/18/2009 2:53:37 AM - 002049843840
She had me on speaker and still talking to me as she ran down the hall bringing me her credit card.....so she didn't scare me like that.....just the freaking out part to hurry hurry hurry before they lost the exit row seats!!!!!
8/18/2009 2:51:43 AM - 002025703401
Dang
8/18/2009 2:51:35 AM - 002049843840

8/18/2009 2:48:33 AM - 002025703401
Hey!!! I'm 60 pounds lighter....
8/18/2009 2:47:27 AM - 002049843840
Jamie had me on speaker phone so I knew she was a coming and I also could hear her stomping down the hall.....everybody had better get outta her way we don't want any workers comp claims!!!!!
8/18/2009 2:43:58 AM - 001024320926
Gosh I feel like I'm going on vaca with ya'll :) (of course I am via iPhone right Jamie??)
8/18/2009 2:42:49 AM - 001024320926
I was just saying the same thing!! I can picture her running down the hall scaring Kim!!! But that's way cool about the extra leg room and the three seats together!! Of course for me just more room to be unconscious :):)
8/18/2009 2:41:31 AM - 001024320926
Well we just did the bump now lets do the hussle Jean!
