SKAGWAY, ALASKA, USA
Skagway, Alaska is a Port prime for tourist! There were 5 other cruise ships the same day as us. We had an early start on them as we were docked by 7am, but downtown was packed by 11 a.m. The downtown resembles the days of the gold rush era. Full of shops and restaurants all vying for your tourist dollars.

Got to love a place that sells shirts saying " Where the heck is Yap? " Colonia ( population 3,100 ) is the Capital and Harbor town of Yap State ( population 11,600 ) one of four states in the Federated States of Micronesia. We are in the Pacific Ocean or Philippine Sea just north of the equator, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
