My sister and her husband won four free cruise tickets on a recent trip, and they decided it would be fun to take the Family on a cruise together. For Castor and I this will be our first-ever cruise and our first time to Alaska. Besides having the family with us, what makes this trip unique is that we never thought we would visit this part of the USA, and now we get the opportunity.

The trip is booked for next summer, but we are already watching video’s about the ship, the ports and all the do’s and don’ts of traveling. We’ve learned a lot and will continue to explore and learn the area until we hit the open seas.

I have already made a logo for a shirt for us to wear on the first day and ordered some custom lanyards for the trip. It’s going to be a great time.
