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 !!

Singapore - Little India

By Pat Patick • August 11, 2026
Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

KOH CHANG, THAILAND

By Pat Patrick • July 26, 2026
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
