What other lousy thing can happen on this cruise? Well, yesterday we got an excursion for Juneau but not for Skagway. We thought that was kinda weird because they give the tickets to you the night before, not two nights before. I was in the shower when I heard a loud banging on the door or wall. Michael was in bed asleep when I got in the shower so I thought the steward was at the door. Well, there wasn’t anything I could do about it so I finished my shower. As I got out, Michael informed me that he was banging on the wall for me to answer the phone (which I did not hear) because he was asleep and it was a pain to get off the top bunk. He answered the phone and the person on the other end asked why we weren’t on the train excursion to White Pass. He told them we didn’t know about it and never received tickets; they told him that someone had forgotten to deliver them to our room the night before and that we shouldn’t have received the Juneau tickets until tonight. He was then told that we should call the excursion desk the night before to see if there is a tour for us – like it was our fault for not knowing. This really pissed me off. We could easily have made the excursion, which was the one thing I wanted to do on this trip. Urggggghhhhh
We waited until the rain stopped and walked into town and went to the internet café. There were four ships in port and the town was crawling with loads of people. It was so crowded, that we wound up walking in the street because there was no room on
the sidewalk. It started to rain again so we just went back to the ship for the rest of the day. We played board games and read. There was a storyteller/folksinger from Skagway who put on an excellent show about the history of Skagway in story and song, telling tales about the gold miners, whalers, White Pass railroad, Alaska statehood and the AlCan Highway. Had dinner, saw a movie, played Yachtzee (sp), and went to another show that we walked out of because the music was too loud and the singer was oh so old school and boring.
The highlight of the day for me was making phone calls to family and friends. Best one was when Isabelle asked if she could come to my house. Anytime, sweet child, anytime!!!! Grammy misses you so much.
Tomorrow is Juneau and we have tickets for an excursion!
