My parents are back from their trip! Here’s 10 insights from their Alaska trip – one that resulted in a newfound love for travel and adventure (for them, not me).
#1. We were by far the youngest, most adaptive, and pleasant couple on the tour.
This is not a lie.
#2. Our favorite traveling companions are New Zealanders!!
We will be visiting there as soon as we Google where that is.
(Editor’s Note: They’re in for a surprise.)
#3. A new goal is to experience every known form of transportation before this tour is over.
So far we have used a car, plane, train, taxi, ferry, van, monorail, water taxi, subway, trolley, helicopter (to get to the top of this glacier) and motorcoach.
#4. We will stop having dessert after every meal…
…in six more days.
#5. Cruises encourage you to try new and different things.
…can you say “Lotus Spa” Rick Randall?
#6. Poolside pizza and soft serve are not food groups.
They are lifestyle choices.
#7. No one ever wins at Bingo except Joan Randall!!!!!
All that lifelong practice finally paid off big time….thanks kids!!!!
#8. Laugh at our selfie-stick, you fools. We have the best pictures ever.
Thanks Boo-Boo!
(Editor’s Note: My sister Erica is Boo-Boo. I am not Boo-Boo.)
#9. Our lives have become ironic.
I’m thriving on daily naps……Rick is the Energizer Bunny.
#10. I so wish our room steward could come home with us.
(Editor’s Note: I didn’t ask why.)
