Spent all day Thursday cruising up the inner passage - couldn't believe all the wilderness! It was really beautiful - the only disappointing thing was that we didn't see any wildlife. Dinner that night was formal and fancy - lobster and crab, cherries jubilee, etc. After dinner we had a surprise for Jane - all along the joke had been that since she was a single, she needed an inflatible companion. K & O ordered one, dressed him up in tuxedo boxer shorts and bow tie, set him up on the couch in one of the lounges, and called Jane to come down. The joke was on us, tho - she came in carrying a "Blow Up Bob" (Bub) of her own. Her reaction at seeing ours was priceless - we all laughed until we cried. Now Jane is famous all over the ship!
Woke up this morning and opened the curtain to find that we were parked nose to nose (or really butt to butt!) with another big cruise ship. We had docked in Ketchikan without even waking up! It was foggy and drizzly so we were keeping our fingers crossed that our sea plane trip to Misty Fjord wouldn't be cancelled.

After breakfast we gathered up our stuff and left the ship to explore Ketchikan a little as our plane trip wasn't until 10:30. It is a very cute little town - the most picturesque part of town is called Creek Street.

This is our float plane - held 10 people. It was quite a trip - gorgeous scenery and in such a small plane it was almost like being a bird. It was pretty misty and cloudy but that just seemed to add to the scenery - did make it hard to get good photos, tho.
Again, didn't see any wildlife, tho. K & O and Gary & I went on the plane trip - the others went on a boat trip to the same area and we had a great time comparing our photos.
Now we're on the move again and will dock in Juneau in the morning.
