Cruisin' to Alaska

Vacaaaaaaaation time!! 

First, don't fear my blog friends. I have not abandoned you. I have a few review posts lined up on things such as books and spas. And my very first ever guest blogger, Bedazzles After Dark, will be blogging fashion. Be sure to check in each day to see what exciting things are being blogged your way!

Now onto the more important stuff...

We flew to Vancouver early yesterday morning for some Canadian sites before we climb aboard the cruise ship to Alaska. I have never really been on a cruise **note to self, Miami to Bahamas isn't what most people imagine a cruise to be I reckon so I am in uncharted waters. Literally.

Our ship, Coral Princess, is luxuriously equipped with all the amenities a girl could ask for: spa (booked massage, check), cocktails (champagne on the menu, check), casino (win $$, check), pool (bikini in tow, check), & shuffleboard (Ryan will get dominated, check, check). Onboard activities don't even include the prime-Alaskan offshore excursions to boast.

I am stoked. Literally stoked. I have been dying to do an Alaskan since oh I don't know...birth?! Plus I get to check off another state that I have journeyed to. Double the excitement, double the fun ;)

We are signed up for 2 excursions. One in Ketchikan and one in Skagway. Nothing like a little nature adventure to really top off the vaca.


Rainforest Ropes Course & Zipline Park

KTN-400 | Ketchikan, Alaska
from $149.00

Outdoor Adventures 
Strenuous
Different from all other zip experiences, you can swing, scramble, climb and glide on suspended cables through a unique rainforest adventure park. This is a fun recreational outing for friends and family in a perfect setting - high in the lush green canopy of southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest.  |  Watch Video »
