Seattle and Environs

We only had a day and a half in Seattle, but we made the most of it enjoying the Seattle Center including the Space Needle, Monorail and the Chihuly Garden and Glass; the Public Market with all of its fresh produce, fish and flowers; the Future of Flight Museum and the Boeing Plant in Everett; and ending the day driving about 2,000 feet up Mt. Rainer. All in the most beautiful weather imaginable.

Enjoy.

What Else to Bring?

This list includes items you may not think about but might be helpful on a cruise. The list will grow as items are thought of.

1. Three-way plug - to charge phones, cameras, laptops, etc.
2. Night light - for bathroom so overhead lights don't need to be turned on in the middle of the night.
3. Seasick medication
4. Sunscreen - it is cool in Alaska, but there are many hours of sunlight.
5. Binoculars - to view the wildlife from the ship
6. Alarm clock, battery operated - it is nice to have a clock you are familiar with and if there are any power issues, you have a clock with the correct time.
7. Small Flashlight - when it gets dark in the room, it gets very dark.
8. Insect Repellant - those Alaskan mosquitoes are big and very hungry.
9. Small Journal - it is nice to write down places you have seen and interesting things encountered as well as to record places where photos have been taken.
10. Games - we are going to be At Sea for nearly 3 days, might be fun to play cards, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc.
11. Reading Material - a good book, a few magazines which can be tossed and/or crossword/puzzle books - nice to have for relaxing during Cruising Days.
