COMING HOME!



We disembarked our ship the Zaandam this morning at 7:45am and took a taxi ride to the airport to sit and wait for our flight. We made it through customs ok except Jim kept making the buzzer go off until he unbuckled his belt. It seems they thought he ate too much on the ship also! LOL Or maybe it was just his suspicous look he has!
Our flight isn't until 12:20pm which at home would be 3:20pm and we will arrive in Detroit at 7:48pm providing there are no delays. Thus far there are none!! Keep your fingers crossed! Our flight from Detroit to Saginaw leaves at 10:31pm and by the time we get up in the air and level off it will be landing at 11:18pm. Hopefully Rod will be there to pick us up!
Here are a couple more pictures of the beautiful scenery we have enjoyed and will miss. The one with the bridge is the place we did some panning for GOLD in Juneau and the other is from the Kenai Fjords National Park in Seward. Yesterday we went to the Great Alaska Lumberjack show in Ketchikan and Jim really got homesick after hearing the sound of a Stihl chainsaw again! It was very entertaining.
Our ship was in very calm waters last night so we did manage to get some rest. Of course I was awake some of the night making sure we didn't miss our flight LOL!
We'll be home before you know it and things will get back to normal again! OMG do I really have to go to work again?? I seriously have not thought about work for 2 weeks but now that we are getting closer to home I can see the mail stacked up at the post office!!
Our trip has gone very smoothly even with all of the different stops and tours we took. Thanks go out to Alana Diamond our travel agent who works for "Alaska Bound" through Passageways Travels. She is an expert on traveling to and around Alaska and we highly recommend her to you all! Of course I am going to add my photography services to any of you that might be thinking of a trip up here too!
Thanks to you all for taking the time to share some of our trip with us. It really has been a nice way to keep in touch with you. I will probably add some more pictures once we get back home and I can do it a little easier. Talk to you all soon! Wish us a safe trip home!
