JUNEAU, ALASKA, USA - part 2

We found this spot before heading to the Glacier Park. We all tried different ethnics treats and it was yummy!

On the way into Mendenhall Glacier Park we saw some tourist plunging in the icy waters and ran into several other ship people who had traveled up here, it's about 12 miles up from Port.

Sadly, we had to head back towards town for me to get back on the Ship, but first we did a drive by of the famous Govenor's Mansion in Juneau to see if " you can see Russia from my front door". A line made famous by Tina Fey on SNL imitating then Governor Sarah Palin during her vice presidency run, with John McCain. You cannot see Russia! Area surrounded by mountain ranges.


I had to say a quick farewell to the Miller's and Juneau but hope to see them again soon! Perhaps Christmas break!!

Thanks for tons of FUN !!

KUCHING, MALAYSIA - BORNEO ISLAND

By Pat Patrick • May 22, 2026
BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
