The next two days were spent entirely on the boat. I must say, for someone who’s out and about cramming in as much into her schedule as humanly possible, two days of ‘relaxation’ seemed almost unbearable. I don’t know how other people do it, but I was completely bored out of my mind on the ship. On the first day I experienced some seasickness after waking up. I wasn’t exactly sick, but the ship was rocking quite a bit and…
For our second day in Alaska, we started the morning by grabbing breakfast at the hotel. The Crow’s Nest restaurant is on one of the highest floors, so we had a great view of downtown Anchorage from where we were seated.

The cherry blossoms came a few weeks earlier this year after a much milder winter. Last week was my first time visiting High Park after many years of living in Canada. I still remember going to Kariya Park last year with my mom to see the cherry blossoms…
