ALASKA CRUISE 2006
Alaskan Explorer via Glacier Bay: 7 day
Roundtrip Seattle, Washington

SAILING DATE: May 5, 2006

Come join me on this really fun cruise!
Maybe we can get a singalong going in the piano bar or find a place for a bit of dancing!
If there's enough interest in " things Celtic "
maybe we can include some Celtic song and/or dance.
