3-8 May 2004
Seattle, WA; Vancouver, BC; Ketchikan, AK
Our family friend Alice is a travel agent and gets all sorts of deals, so
as a gift to us she and her husband took my parents and I on a short cruise
to Alaska, onboard the new Diamond Princess!
If I had finished my dissertation by May, it would have been a nice
graduation present, and I could come back to NC the day after for my
commencement. Unfortunately, I'm not done yet.

But it was a nice
break anyway.
I was running low on batteries, so about half of the photos were shot with my
backup film camera; I'll update when I've scanned those photos. This is also
just a quick-and-dirty upload; more processing and captioning to come.
