For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to go on an Alaskan Cruise. I don’t know when it started, but I can’t think of a time when it wasn’t one of my dreams.

Last year, my DH turned 65. We’ve always joked about how old we are chronologically compared to how young we are mentally. He calls me a young whipper-snapper. I, on the other hand, always refer to him as being an Old F*rt……..closer to 80 than 50, or that no matter how hard I try, I will never catch up to him. You catch the drift. But he takes it all in and just laughs.

Anyhoo, for his Milestone Birthday, I took him on a Disney vacation…… a few days at POP, then a 7 day Disney Magic cruise, followed by a couple of days at POFQ. And, as the name promised, it was just that………Magic. :thumbsup:

This year, well, I turn 60. And for my milestone birthday, he’s taking my on my dream cruise -- Alaska!!
It has been an emotional roller coaster, planning this trip. We originally had booked a 16 day land/sea tour of the Yukon and Alaska, but the touring company cancelled the trip due to not enough interest. I was not able to duplicate that itinerary on my own. So, nose to the keyboard, I pored over itineraries that suited us best and just tonight, I put the finishing touches on our plans. I cannot tell you how excited I am. I got every single thing that I wished for !!

The players in this dream:

Me -- Cathy, 59, (60 in November), retired since Jan '07

DH (sorta) Lorne, 66, retired since 1997 (lucky dog)


Next up....let the planning begin!
