Yeah, yeah, I know Vancouver's not in Alaska. But it was the port from which we sailed. Check out the ship and some shots of Vancouver and the surrounding area.
Here's a short video of us passing under Lion's Gate Bridge.
And finally, the reason why long hair and wind don't mix.
Icy Strait Point
Our first port of call brings us to Hoonah and Icy Strait Point. We would see our first bear here. No, I'm not counting my wife.
Here are some shots of the wilderness that surrounds Hoonah.
This was also our first whale watching expedition on the trip.
Hubbard Glacier
Here are some shots of the majestic Hubbard Glacier.
Juneau
Juneau was home to a lot of different activities.
Mendenhall Glacier is quite a sight to see, ice and snow jammed between two huge mountains.
Our second whale watching adventure was quite a bit more exciting than the first!
We visited the Taku Glacier Lodge via sea plane for some local salmon.
Finally, we took a trip up and down the Mount Roberts Tramway in downtown Juneau.
Ketchikan
Our final stop was a short one in Ketchikan. We had a crab feast, and saw our second bear of the trip.
In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
