Skagway, Alaska

Had a good time driving up through mountain range to Canadian border. Lovely views.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

Beautiful city but beware of seedy areas near Chinatown, which is very nice. Had delicious lunch at Chill Winston (don't walk any further tho as area gets bad).

Seattle, Washington

Beautiful city. Had a space needle tour that with enjoyable tour driver but handled very poorly at the site by venue personnel. We only had 1 hour 15 minutes and after 45 minutes we were still in line to go up elevator to top of needle. Had no time to do anythine else.

Victoria, British Columbia

Empress Hotel and Butchart Gardens are two must-sees.

Sitka, Alaska

Too tourity. Didn't know the original Russian Orthodox church had burned down in the 60's.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Did a tour special not associated with Celebrity and this first part was awful (called "Best of Alaska). Booked through link from cruises.com.

Juneau, Alaska

Better tour. Had fun time with beer at Red Dog Saloon.

Lahaina, Maui

Went to beach and ate at place on beach but can't remember name. It was good but not better than average.

Honolulu, Oahu

Overnight at this port, which was very nice. Made dinner reservations at Orchids (absolutely fabulous food, staff, ambience right on the water). Outside entertainment at "house without a key" you have to make reservation; in past did not have to.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Warm but lots of VOG remaining because of earthquake couple of weeks earlier.
