An Alaska trip story from Levy I go to this mystery man premiere in LA and party... stay up till 2 am then get up at 530am to catch this plane to Vancouver...spend nice day at Stanley Park then go to the boat and wait in line for hour to get on and then go to rooms and they are not connecting!!!! Well with 4 young kids that is a big problem so they say sorry but nothing they can do.... boat is sold out..so we have this argument like what you mean nothing you cam do thats why we took your boat!!....well eventually I solve my own problem after several hours sitting in my room waiting for people next door to come to their room who agree to switch...by now its time to do the life vest mock sinking routine with 4 kids who are real tired which was hell so after that its about 7 pm so I get everyone together to go up to the jacuzzi and when we get there they are closing it down for the night?.....I ask why ?? no good answer but they recommend we go to the indoor one so we do and we get in and as I begin to finally relax this lady comes up to one of my kids and in a very mean way tells them to get out not realizing the parents are right there ........well no one should ever yell at my kids for no reason and at that moment after the day I had there was little to hold me back...then she starts telling me there are these minerals in the water that would hurt my kids and giving me this aquaspa ballony...well that was it....of course you had to be there but lets just say they when I got through I was one step away from being put in cruise jail...I never put a string of curse words together in my life like then to her, the aquaspa boss and the security people to follow...Blue should have been there he would have loved it....these organized things I guess are not for me....so much garbage....anyway after that things went pretty well.....very pretty stuff...glaciers especially Hubbard, waterfalls everywhere but never saw much of any wildlife....a few seals....eagles...lots of salmon in the rivers jumping up the falls but no bears , whales or mouse.....everyone has a gun up there probably scaring them away...all the road signs had bullet holes thru them and some late model cars with road problems that were left unattended had their windows shot out....all the guys had beards....saw a 137 lb halibut get caught...coolest place we went was Homer...reminded me of a Alaskan version of Kona Hawaii...stayed in this cabin on a 80 acre place with farm and elk ranch...it overlooked a big bay with a national park on the other side with big mountains and glaciers.....they had a couple of kids so great chance for my kids to see how others live.....the fields everywhere were blooming with this purple firefly....to walk through these fields of purple with my kids playing nearby is probably my most lasting memory....Alaska is definitely a place to see...I am sure I'll be back
