Vacay replay: Last stop on this cruise was Victoria, BC. We only had time for a walk down the Dallas Road Waterfront Trail to Holland Point Park. Naturally, it brought to mind my favorite Canadian band.

Vacay replay: The northernmost point of the Inner Passage is Skagway, Alaska. This historic gold rush town has an Old West feel with it's picturesque wooden building and boardwalks.

Vacay replay: On our way to the next port we were treated to a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Not so colorful to the naked eye and there was a beautiful crescent moon just about to set, still the phone captured something special.

Vacay replay: Up super early to enjoy the sail up Endicott Arm fjord to see Dawes Glacier. Afterwards we sailed to Juneau. Fellow cruisers were so shagged after this day I literally had the dance club to myself, with DJ and bar staff, of course.

Vacay replay: There's nothing quite like sailing through the night and waking up in a new town like beautiful Ketchikan, Alaska. This gateway to the Inner Passage is situated in a temperate rainforest and features a lovely waterfront and abundant cultural displays.

I'm very curious about the availability of bitters in Japan. I heard that it was very difficult to get unusual bitters in Hong Kong from a friend that worked as a restaurant beverages manager.

My extended family has been practicing natural burial (aka green burial or eco-burial) -- sadly, three in just a few years. This type of interment uses biodegradable materials for natural decomposition. FYI: cremation is shockingly energy intensive! I visited my Aunt's place of rest last weekend.

As much as I grouse about property taxes, I'm happy that a portion goes to my county's parks. Just a 5 min walk from my door and I'm here feeling spoiled and very grateful.
