Skagway, Alaska May 24th, 2009

This town has 700 people.

Our ship has 700 people.

This town has no doctor.

Our ship has a doctor and two nurses.

This town has 4 restaurants.

Our ship has 4 restaurants, a pool grill and 24 hour room service!

This town has charm and lazy-appeal like really no other town we have been to. No "chains" except Starbucks!! Most of the stores are run by local people. The Gunsmoke look applies here too except the vivid color is better.

The day we had here was crazy good weather. Short sleeves and shorts were the uniform of the day for plenty of the travellers...Nicky included. We had a great time just meeting the folks around the town and trying their local pizza!!

Picked up a few fun souvenirs fromAlaska and visited yet another quilt shop!! If you love quilting like my sister Kathy does...Alaska is the place for you!!!!

We had a great day in Skagway. Would love to come again.
