After that, the novelty wears off and I start planning my exit from the parking lot at the end of the show.

My mom's brother used to live in Ketchikan, and we stayed at his house when we went many years ago. I imagine things have changed a lot since then.

If you caught a salmon, was it catch and release or did the ship offer the opportunity for its chefs to cook it up for you for dinner?<br /><br />Reminds me of going to the Grand Canyon years ago when the kids were young. An approximate 8 year old girl was there who I overheard say "Grand Canyon this, Grand Canyon that, I'm sure sick of the Grand Canyon."
