We did SE Alaska. Ketchikan to Juneau which was really modern AK. It was everything I expected and then some. Way big and disgusting Disney and Norwegian ships in port, next to our little cruiser servicing 56.
We didn't see any other boats for at least five out of seven days. The company of salmon, otters, seals, bears, eagles, moose and humpback whales was so worth it. We counted 21 blow holes spouting at one sitting and that was the highlight. Whales as sunset and tails flipping everywhere; a truly amazing sight. The glacier calving was cool, too, but expected and cold. I also learned to paddle board and I'd like to do that some more.
I came back with a cold, which I suspect is an ongoing sinus infection. My nose is constantly stuffed, I'm coughing green (I know, isn't that a lovely thought?) and my face hurts. Not that my face doesn't always hurt, but it does.
I believe one of the continuing side effects of Lyrica is memory loss, as evidenced by neglecting to fill the RX prior to leaving. I thought that I could get by until refill, missing about two doses. Boy, was that ever stupid. Freezing burning face is almost as bad as burning pee face, which is code for a bad bladder infection. Not that I've had those in a long time, knock on woodage, but every woman I know can relate.
So anyway...super happy to have seen wildlife in the wild and enjoyed the company of the Mister, but as usual, way too short.
I shall swallow some Mucinex and hope for the best.
