I think I can rotate the originals on my computer. I know I can do it to view them. I may try and do it here and reload them on ofoto. My big problem, which I spent a few hrs on last night, or so it seems, is trying to get 2 pictures from the ship posted. I bought a few of the professional ones, and a friend scanned them for me B4 I framed them. I've got them in my computer, and even in the Alaska album, but I can't transfer them to ofoto. Something about jPeg not copying, or blah blah. It may be the way Joyce scanned them. It may because I didn't upload it with all the others in the album. I've got to figure it out. Fuzzette is amazing me by blossoming into full foxdom. Bad news; she turns 16 a week from tomorrow.

The helicopter is fun, and well worth it. There were trips from all the stops, including rides around Denali. Out to some of the islands. Some may have included meal stops; I can't remember.They might have had trips to fishing spots, too. If you go off on your own, I'm sure there are many flights operating that will go just about wherever you want up there. The state bird is the float plane. Mom told me she and Dad really enjoyed a chopper trip in Hawaii.
As for the rest of the cruise part, it was days and days of "just like the Charlottes" with free food and entertainment, and not so free drink and gambling, which is ok. Except, it is soooooooooo much bigger than the Charlottes. Alaska becomes an experience in which you are in the middle of this gigantic hemisphere out to the horizon. Maybe because of the small population which leaves large pieces of land semi-intact, but the world goes on forever, and up, because the weather is so dynamic. The sky and the lighting were constantly changing.
