I'm so glad you got to get away for a little bit and enjoy life! :) And we're thankful that Blaine (and your mother!) came through these past days/weeks with no problems. Yeah!

I am kind of sad that your trip stories are done, but hey, you have the memories and have even cemented our desire to go.<BR/><BR/>You do such a great job on your site, don't let one 'fun-sucker' ruin it for you (okay, US). As stated several times in the past, you have come a long way through Kendrie's illness and now what better way to keep an upbeat and hilarious lifestyle going? LOL<BR/><BR/>Anyway, don't 'bash' my writing "style", typos, etc. :)<BR/><BR/>Give our best to Blaine and the kids, as you are thought of often.Beth K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136019830844332026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-28183771922410959982007-08-27T13:20:00.000-05:002007-08-27T13:20:00.000-05:00I love the pictures from your last day of vacation...I love the pictures from your last day of vacation. I am booked on the Sapphire Princess Sept. 08 with some fellow retirees. I directed them to your blog to see your photos and read about your adventures. Now I don't know if I can wait a year to experience this adventure but you have to book early to get a good selection of cabins.<BR/>It's so nice to hear that you and Blaine are home and that he is on the mend. I can understand him being selfconcious about the dent, but honestly,he is a very good looking man and it's not that noticable. <BR/>Hopefully the kids are enjoying school and lager is "maintaining".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036374022323687122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-13257496359513285312007-08-27T10:22:00.000-05:002007-08-27T10:22:00.000-05:00Hi Kristie,Loved hearing all about your trip and s...Hi Kristie,<BR/><BR/>Loved hearing all about your trip and sad that it's now come to an end!<BR/><BR/>Just a quick question! Are you sure that is a porpoise in the first pic? I used to live on the west coast and from the markings I would swear that was a small killer whale! (Also looks like Killer Whale's fin sticking out of water couple of pics down)<BR/><BR/>Loved the money shot! You caught it just beautifully! You also have a way with words girl that makes me feel like I'm on the cruise with ya!<BR/><BR/>BlondieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-4500480075846846872007-08-27T10:07:00.000-05:002007-08-27T10:07:00.000-05:00Ahh, I am sad that is the last of your trip.

I can't wait.

And third ... THANK YOU for sharing SO much about your life and all that has happened to you and your family. It takes immense strength and courage to talk about such personal things and to help so many others who may be struggling with their problems ... we all need a way to vent and talk and scream and your blog helps you to do that ... I have started my own as well thanks to you! I am not nearly as good at it - yet - but hopefully I will get there! May God continue to bless you and your family and to hold you close!

I was so hoping that you would get a photo of a whale breaching since you are such a great photographer. :)<BR/><BR/>I have so enjoyed reading about your trip to Alaska. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I too am glad that you all were able to take this awesome trip before Blaine had to be on a liquid diet.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to Blaine(and all the Escoes!)Stephanie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13257297475376315303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-79167598122963853852007-08-27T08:53:00.000-05:002007-08-27T08:53:00.000-05:00I, for one, am sorry the trip reports are over!

See, WE know you rock and are special, but obviously someone else does, too...hehe! However, I know you have more pix than what you have shared. As I've already said, I am one of those freaks that LOVES other people's vacation pix--cause I never go anywhere myself. I'd be happy to see all of them...but, once more, I'll just say thanks so much for sharing. Obviously, all of the wonderful things I'd already heard about Alaska cruises are true.kim-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650811256788756378noreply@blogger.com
