A Cruise and a FarewellIn the middle of May, we will board a cruise ship in Seattle and head North to Alaska. For six plus days we will travel the Inland Passage, stopping here and there for sightseeing. This has been a goal of mine for many years. For one reason or another, I never get around to it before.
