Okay. So. If somebody ever asks you to take a cruise to Alaska, the answer is yes. No matter when it is—the answer is Yes.
No. Stop. I don’t care if Barack Obama is rocking out with Bruce Springsteen, giving out gold-plated Wiis, and all of this is a fundraiser for a Back to the Future musical. Alaska is better.
I’m too manically-happy to have a long, detailed synopsis, so you’ll have to settle for a list of awesome things I did. No, I don’t care if this is arrogant at all. In chronological order, as best as I can remember it:
Saturday: Boarded a Cruise Ship the size of Idaho.
Sunday: Mulled around all day. With style.
Monday: Walked around Ketchikan, the most gorgeous town I’ve ever seen.
Tuesday: Saw a Glacier, hiked around a bit, did some semi-rock climbing to manage to stand underneath a waterfall, and get a billion times closer to the glacier.
Wednesday: Biked down a mountain at about twenty miles an hour.
Thursday: Walked around in a Rainforest.
Friday: Took lots of naps.
Saturday: Went home.
And then, after coming home, I learned that there’s going to be a DS Remake of Chrono Trigger.
Hell Yes.

I'll actually post a more detailed synopsis later. There's a lot of really nifty stuff I left out-- a long pipeline, poisonous tea, and napkins!
