Setting Sail...FINALLY!

Beware of flying pigs! Inhabitants of the underworld should watch for icicles forming in plain sight! Ol' Abner has been booked for a cruise.  Of course, I'm going along, too. That is not part of the miracle, I've been planning this trip in some variation for twenty years or more. Three good friends, two women and one man, with a history as playmates can be traced to Ol' Abners elementary school days.  One of the women graduated high school with him and the other man and woman graduated the following year.  All three of their spouses have been following the same script for years.  Finally, these stubborn Westerner's realize the time has come.

We gathered over the past weekend and set our plan.  Excitement has been burning the phone lines, social media, and internet. We'll enjoy a four day tour of Denali National Park in Alaska, followed by a seven day southbound cruise. Two couples have never cruised, and the other shares our experience, one has cruised, one not! With my limited (only one cruise) expertise, I relied on a wonderful travel agent.  Ol' Abner is looking forward to the beautiful scenery, but finds stories of giant mosquitos a bit forbidding.  I'll stock up on insect repellent before we go!
