great addition for everyone's suitcase
You just don't know what the outlet config will be in your hotel room or cruise room, so plan ahead! I love this one and just keep it in my suitcase: https://www.amazon.com/Desktop-Outlet-Braided-Extension-Office/dp/B07HCVFH82/ref=asc_df_B07HCVFH82/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241935719665&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6562456887187082061&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007293&hvtargid=pla-583260891260&psc=1&fbclid=IwAR1jd39qjqy-0XXaAgoFjZ1rtFGaQ9dJ5c5k0tdENLiMzSETn_zleR5CqUI

Luggage tags?

Luggage tags can be confusing for cruises. I like these tags from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cruise-Luggage-Holders-Steel-Loops/dp/B017BVFA00/ref=asc_df_B017BVFA00/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198102652462&hvpos&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17240170720880682507&hvpone&hvptwo&hvqmt&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl&hvlocint&hvlocphy=9007293&hvtargid=pla-407616990194&psc=1&fbclid=IwAR2kAySxxM3e0ROW1F6-LM4UCyRenEVWZR7Zpma9Gn2pwScoL0PUMwfQRTM

They're so easy to put together while I'm still at home and then the morning of the cruise, I just attach one to each piece of luggage that I'll be leaving at embarkation for the purser to deliver to our rooms. Soooo simple!!😃

I told DH that we should eat in the room this morning so that we could get into Ketchikan early. Just in case anyone out there is thinking that maybe room service might be less than...how about the opposite? Delicious fruit smoothie, banana, and avocado toast with my coffee? This might be my perfect breakfast...and it was delicious.

living my best life at the Thermal Spa on the Bliss...so aptly named. Sitting on a heated spa bed, watching the world float by. Hmm.

05/08/2022

Oh my gosh, the clouds hanging on the glaciers and the mountains are beyond beautiful. I'm putting this image in my memory palace to retrieve when I'm stuck in traffic on 101...my happy place.

04/08/2022

I love the mix of cultures in Sitka: Inuit, Russian, gold rush, etc...

04/08/2022

The Norwegian Bliss love

04/08/2022

This salt spa is so unusual and absolutely lovely! It's part of the Thermal Spa suite of spas. Just warm, so that suits me and it just feels great inside!

04/08/2022

I resisted using packing cubes and now I cannot figure out why. Cruising is short term tiny house living, so it's more comfortable when planning ahead. What a nice gift I have myself by shifting off of my old attitude!

04/08/2022

Blissed out on the Bliss! The Thermal Spa is such a great travel addition for those sore airplane and hiking muscles. Plus...its the ultimate in pampering, which I kind of want on vacation.

04/08/2022

Here's the snow room in the Thermal Spa on the Norwegian Bliss. Sweetheart really loves me...he grew up in the desert and is so scared of the cold, but he was willing to go in with me-- well for a few seconds. I'll take it.

Inside the Sanarium of the Thermal Spa on the Bliss. This combines steam and dry. I admit I don't totally understand how it works, but it's supposed to have purifying effects.

04/08/2022

The stream room is Sweetheart's favorite, but not mine because... my hair.

04/08/2022

The thermal spa in the Bliss has been our favorite part of the ship! We purchased the weekly pass and Sweetheart and I are now regulars there! What an amazing way to see Alaska... suffice it to say we're relaxed and Blissed out.

No need to chase waterfalls if you're in Juneau... they are all over and just breathtaking. I love how they disappear into the fog.

04/08/2022

Yes, I am that tourist who likes to find that one store where I can find cute, affordable things for my loved ones at home. Found it!!

04/08/2022

Just soak it in. Wish you were here!

A sweet end to our romantic dinner at Le Bistro. We enjoy eating at Michelin starred restaurants for very special occasions, and believe me, Le Bistro is a good as!! We take that memory with us for our 35th anniversary.

04/08/2022

Sweetheart WAS in Bliss with the lamb chops at Le Bistro. My love apparently doesn't extend as far as learning to cook lamb so this is a treat for him.

04/08/2022

Dinner at Le Bistro on the Bliss. This was one of the most romantic dinners Sweetheart and I have ever had!

The mysterious land of glacier country. I wonder if any Hobbits live there...

04/08/2022

Just another sunset in glacier country. The sky is different here from anywhere else. Magical.

04/08/2022

I'm so excited to be back in Ketchikan! I just love the wildness and beauty of the land as well as the lovely people who remind me my NoDak roots. It's a sunny day here and I feel warm inside.

04/08/2022

Starfish love at Icy Strait Point...I mean, a picture is worth a thousand words and they seem to be enjoying themselves

04/08/2022

We are loving the Thermal Spa onboard the Norwegian Bliss. We enjoy these tiled beds that are warm and perfect for relaxing as one watches the glaciers go by! I love the salt room and the snow room. Sweetheart loves the steam room and the sauna. We both have spent many hours in the different zones of the whirlpool bath. What a perfect way to relax as we let go of the cares of daily life and work. BLISS

In lovely Juneau today. The mist hangs on the mountains surrounding the city and above is the Mendenhall glacier and 1000 miles of ice fields. It seems like a beautiful place, full of mystery and ancient secrets hidden in that fog.
