Fabulous reporting, Betty, Donna and Lee! It's great to catch up on your trip. We're signed up for this one next year - Seward to Beijing - on Navigator. The bar tender on Navigator did look at me like I was nuts. He said "Do you know about this crossing? the fog? the waves?"

Thanks to you all, I know more than I did. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing pix after the fact. Safe journey home, all, and thanks for taking us along with you.

Cheers, Anne
