Alaska Tour V

So... let me tell you about the people on our Celebrity Cruisetour through the Alaskan interior.

I have already told you about the small group of eight with whom we tried to coordinate most activities. There were quite a few other people on the cruisetour with whom we got along famously.

The first couple we met were Brad and Janet. When we heard their names we thought... aha, the Rocky Horror Picture Show! We went to chat to them on our boat ride on the fjords from Seward. Nice people from Georgia. Janet wanted a picture of puffins in the wild. Happy to oblige. They were traveling with their friends David and Malissa from Boca Raton. We got on with the two of them very well. Right now we are sitting with Dave and Melissa in the Alaskan airlines lounge before flying on to Houston.

There were eight ladies traveling together; Maria, Grace, Hazel and Linda. Although we did not go anywhere with them, other than organized activities, when we chatted to them, we found them all to be very friendly and fun to be with.

Enid and Jesus from Puerto Rico were a nice quiet couple. They tended to stay quietly by themselves. Ingrid chatted to them and found them to be most pleasant.

Mark and Christine from Nova Scotia also tended to stay by themselves. We invited them to join us for dinner in Denali at the Salmon Bake. They spent most of the evening having a good conversation with Betty and Bob, who enjoyed the chat over dinner.

There was a four person family group from Fort Worth and Richmond Virginia. John and June, Sam and Suzie were a fun group, always with a smile and a "hello." It was nice having them with us. Sam and Suzie used to live in Houston, so we had something in common with them.

We had an older group with us from Missouri. The four of them, Barbara and Jack, Joyce and Bob were like having friendly grandparents with us on the tour. They made up an integral part of the tour.

So as you can read, we had a really nice group on our bus. It made for a fantastic tour. It was really sad to see our bus "family" go in their different directions.
