Pacific Coastal
Cruise
Los Angeles - Seattle - Victoria -
Vancouver (5 nights) |
 I usually like to stay aboard the Queen
Mary the night before a cruise out of Los Angeles. It is very convenient to the Port
of Los Angels and gets you in the ship mood! |

 I went on this cruise with
my friend Rosie from Houston. This was her first visit to Canada, and her first
cruise. It was an opportunity for us to go on a trip together and for her to get a
practice run for her 2 week British Isle cruise that she took later that summer.
Here we are in beautiful Victoria - the setting in "Butchart Gardens"My
mother-in-law lives in Victoria and graciously took Rosie and I around to the sites. |

| This was too much fun ! When we arrived at Canada Place in
Vancouver we checked into the Canadian Pacific Waterfront Hotel right across the street.
We had a great view of the ship and Rosie and I were endlessly entertained by the
seagulls that perched at our window as we fed them..cashews ! Stephen was working in
Washington State the week Rosie and I took this trip so he met up with us here and was
able to watch the Sun Princess sail away. |

We took a trip to the Whistler ski resort area. There is a gondola
ride up to the top of the mountain and we had this great view. It was Rosie's first
time to see this much snow and she had a real hard time walking on it. Stephen
and I pose by one of the many Canadian flags on the peak. |
