Going....... going

On the move again!  Just booked my trip on the Alaska State Ferry system on the M/V Matanuska from Bellingham to Skagway and back again.  A whole week on the water!

Looking on the internet at the photos of others just makes me want to jump up and pack!  I am so ready to go and see all there is too see on this incredible Marine Highway.

I have booked a cabin with a window, even though camping on deck is available, I think I am just too old and creaky to do that... But I cannot wait to be able to talk to people who do the trip this way.  I can almost see the photos that will come home with me inside Gypsy, my camera.

After the ferry week, I will be spending two nights in Seattle with some wonderful friends and then head off to the Amtrak station for a coastal trip of two days to Los Angeles.

Just the thought of this, together with the planning and gathering of warm-enough clothes, makes me smile.

Watch this space for updates and photos as soon as I have them...  Tick tock - just weeks to go.....
