It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.<br /><br />For several years , I make money with the help of these programs. <br />I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks. <br />Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.<br /><br />http://theinvestblog.com [url=http://theinvestblog.com]Online Investment Blog[/url]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-87937085946317201852007-08-23T12:47:00.000-05:002007-08-23T12:47:00.000-05:00And Hon, I myself have never hankered to go on a c...And Hon, I myself have never hankered to go on a cruise.

So glad you made it back alright - what a terrible tragedy - and so many other sad occurences, too. I'm glad you and Raf made it back safe and sound. I've always thought that I probably wouldn't be cut out for cruises or guided tours, and I think you just confirmed that. Free spirits need freedom of choice!

Needless to say the bars were begging for business.<BR/>A lot of Shriners don't drink or drink very much--my good friend and Baptist deacon is a Shriner who doesn't any.<BR/>Our tour was lead by several Southwestern Theological Seminary professors who led our Holy Land tour. The professors were our group leaders, ours was Jack Terry.<BR/>The Shriners left us at the boat.<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-676121352133220942007-08-20T21:09:00.000-05:002007-08-20T21:09:00.000-05:00High Neighbor!

Too bad there were some troubles.<BR/>Mrs. Jim and I did that two years ago this September. We did Princess and it was soooooo nice. We did the land part also.<BR/>I think we did the nice things you did except in Juno we had a helicopter drop us, three others, and a guide off on that Mendenhall Glacier. We stayed there all morning.<BR/><BR/>We had perogies in Poland, they weren't homemade but they sure were good!<BR/><BR/>We haven't had a bad 'tour.' I should add them up, I think it is at least ten we have been on. <BR/><BR/>A year ago we did a Sicily two week tour followed by an Amalfi week-long extension.<BR/>That was Grand Circle, I would recommend them to you. In fact, if you want I can have them put you on their mailing list. We have done three with them.<BR/><BR/>There were 16 of us in the Alaska group, our travel agent lives in our subdivision and is semi-retired. She goes with all her 'tours.'<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-25292230416808512222007-08-20T15:52:00.000-05:002007-08-20T15:52:00.000-05:00I love the animal towels..lolPeace, Kai xxI love the animal towels..lol<BR/>Peace, Kai xxKaiBlue https://www.blogger.com/profile/09820083757874351493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-12246084861679565682007-08-20T14:54:00.000-05:002007-08-20T14:54:00.000-05:00I am so sorry that there was such tragedy and unpl...I am so sorry that there was such tragedy and unpleasantness on what should have been a beautiful trip for you and your husband. How much more horrible for the families who lost loved ones. I am glad you are home safe and sound. <BR/><BR/>My husband and I had contemplated that cruise a couple of years ago and never did it. My Grandfather lived in the Yukon during the goldrush and I have wonderful photos that he took of Skagway at that time. I think I may dig them up and scan them perhaps to post on my blog one day.Kahshe Cottagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977004509298019122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-85534062161150685022007-08-20T14:32:00.000-05:002007-08-20T14:32:00.000-05:00Sue & Ralph(first post to your blog)Glad ya'll are...Sue & Ralph<BR/><BR/>(first post to your blog)<BR/><BR/>Glad ya'll are on your way back.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful pics, can't wait to see Ralph's contribution. Have been wanting to see Alaska since found out my dad and his brothers ran around up there during WWII, but haven't made it up there yet. His brother, my uncle, "Tex" was killed in a Alaskan bush plane crash in the late 60's. <BR/><BR/>Your description of the tour package is one reason I have avoided them. Usually when in a strange place, I will take a quick tour that doesn't stop anywhere, so can go back later to those things that looked interesting. LOL - tour groups can't stand independent thinkers.<BR/><BR/>That is really neat you met up with some of your blogging buddies. That always makes a trip that much more fun.<BR/><BR/>Very sad about the family almost being wiped out in the plane crash :).Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698026984687791072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-66376768698796761212007-08-20T13:14:00.000-05:002007-08-20T13:14:00.000-05:00Wow Sioux!

I'm so sorry about the terrible things that happened on the trip. My heart goes out to the families of the plane crash victims.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Lisa.....cruises have never been on my list because like you i too am a free spirit so might have felt a bit stiffled by having to follow an agenda. Your pics are awesome though and i'm sure the stunning scenery will be embedded in your mind forever!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the photos and story with us.<BR/><BR/>Rest up!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Violetteviolettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745676873427240278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-400058182840988942007-08-20T13:01:00.000-05:002007-08-20T13:01:00.000-05:00Its always so great to meet fellow bloggers!

I am exhausted just reading about it. I've never been one who has longed to go on one...as you said...preferring a more free spirited approach to travel is so much better.<BR/>I'm just glad you both made it home safe and sound. what a tragedy that plane crash was.
