See Ya Later Vacouver!!



So today we left Vancouver headed for Alaska.  The day was very foggy and we only had a few clear hours midday.  As always, the views are stunning and so peaceful.

Our tablemates are (I am unsure about the spellings): Hi, Way, and Z (Way and Z are women, and we think Hi and Way are married); and Mike, Sue (they are married) and their adult daughter Sophie, who are from England.  It’s sort of a mixed group, but we manage to chat with each other.


Molly, Charity, and I have found our peeps – people that we saw on Embarkation Day and keep seeing around the ship.  Mine are a couple and the man did the Disneyland Half Marathon (as evidenced by the medals we carried the first day).  He always looks a little puzzled ….


Molly’s peeps are the family who took our picture for us while we all were waiting to board, and the young couple who are on their first Disney cruise and are super-excited to be on the cruise.  And they talk – a lot.


Charity’s peeps are the Dippy Dog and their momma Dizzy.  Here are their descriptions;  while waiting to board, Dippy kept a bottle close so he could spit his dip into it (seriously).  Unfortunately he was just two seats away from Charity.  He was also wearing a “Southern by the grace of God” t-shirt.  And when we saw him dressed up for dinner, he had on a suit – and his camo cap.  He is of adult age and so is his brother.  Mama Dizzy carries a cane and looks like she ain’t gonna take no mess off nobody.  So even though I think Molly and Charity should meet them, they won’t take me up on it.


Anyhow, it’s been a great start to the cruise.  We’ve dined at Palo for brunch, attended the DVC and Castaway Cay reception, taken a nap or two, and Charity saw some whales.  And no, it wasn’t me napping on the deck chair!

Today was a great day because:  We got laundry done; we had a great meal and server in Palo; we got surprises and passed our surprises for the FE exchange; we chatted with our table mates; Charity saw whales; we won the tv tunes trivia game!
