That's what I'm picturing anyway. Did you get snow? We got a dusting. I think more is on the way, though.

Wainwright (Fairbanks). We'd been checking the weather and it was always above freezing, so we packed the heavy coats. We got off the plane, not dressed all that warmly, and it was 20 degrees below zero! Ice fog, too. Welcome to Alaska!

I did a January trip to the Virgin Islands once and I'd say that was the thing I hated most, was landing at JFK and realizing there was snow on the ground and I had no winter coat.

Well, except he seemed to take more naps, but then so did I and I wasn't wearing the patch. Maybe we're just getting OLD! :)Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-79812700583831136942013-11-25T13:13:14.403-05:002013-11-25T13:13:14.403-05:00The cruise was wonderful.

Our first one was, thus we keep returning. I like the fact I only have to unpack ONCE and then get to visit places (or do excursions).<br /><br />Luckily for us, smog isn't an issue in Dayton. Cold weather though... Hmmm, maybe I'd take the smog over that!! :)Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-60189280133573429342013-11-25T11:46:07.580-05:002013-11-25T11:46:07.580-05:00I can't wait to see the photos.

Brought back memories of my one and only cruise (won't be doing that again!).<br /><br />For me, what I hate most is coming back to the smog. I love LA, but when you travel some place smog free and you come back, you really notice it.Samantha MacDouglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898356848305102024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-56316142056266912172013-11-25T11:22:44.719-05:002013-11-25T11:22:44.719-05:00Jennette - Yeah, at least I didn't have to wor...Jennette - Yeah, at least I didn't have to worry about getting up for work the next day (like my hubby). I did have to get up and exercise, though. That wasn't pleasant - too cold out there - but I did it (pats self on back). <br />Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-7278665444098110032013-11-25T10:41:12.816-05:002013-11-25T10:41:12.816-05:00The vacation still sounds great!
