Juneau, Alaska

Me deep in thought :D

At the top of the Mount Roberts Tramway, Juneau. Give me any kind of funicular, tramway, subway, cablecar, monorail, or train, and I'm there! :)

Eric and I in downtown Juneau, Alaska. 

Skagway, Alaska

In front of my ship in the Skagway port.

Another of me having fun! You can see my cruise ship in the background. 

Me playing on the train after the trip ended. 

Another cool one taken along the train route. 

A cool photo as we came around the bend, heading into a tunnel!  

Another inside the traincar. 

On taken inside the railway car. Bet you can't find me in the crowd... 

Yet another from on the train, with the mountains in the distance. 

Another from onboard the Whitepass Railway. For more into go to www.whitepassrailroad.com 

This photo was taken in Skagway, Alaska. My boyfriend Eric and I took the Whitepass Railroad up into the mountains into British Columbia, Canada along the old Yukon Gold Rush route. It was amazing!

Purchased from Russia in 1867, Alaska became the 49th U.S. state in January, 1959. By area, it is the largest state, but also one of the least populated. It is also one of the wealthiest and most racially diverse states. It contains some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery on the continent.

Me aboard my ship the ms Zuiderdam. I'm on deck 10 in the Crow's Nest. 

I'm getting ready for an event where I giveaway prizes! 

I'm on deck 10 (Observation Deck) overlooking the Lido Deck pool. 

Stay Tuned... I am now an Assistant Cruise Director, and I'm leaving on Saturday, August 26th to work on the ms Zuiderdam for four and a half months. For the first leg of my contract (the first six weeks), I will be making weekly runs through Alaska's Inside Passage leaving out of Vancouver, BC, Canada. That itinerary is... Vancouver -- Juneau, Alaska -- Skagway, Alaska -- Scenic cruising through Glacier Bay Nat'l Park -- Ketchikan, Alaska. I will post photos and text from my upcoming travels...

Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

Another shot in Cesky Krumlov.

This is Cesky Krumlov, in Southern Bohemia, not too far from the Austrian border. This medieval town dates back to the 1200's. Today it is a popular cultural center, and an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is the famous (and really touristy) Astronomical Clock (Orloj) in Old Town Square. It's been there since in 1400's.

The view from the apartment I rented while I was there. That's the Vltava River with Nove Mesto (New Town) on the other side.

A view from Charles Bridge taken from atop the Old Town Bridge Tower.

Kutna Hora, Czech Republic

Me in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic, an old silver-mining city that dates back to the 1200's. It used to be the seat of many Czech kings, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Prague, Czech Republic

Metro Underground

This is a view onto the square from the museum window.

This is inside the National Museum in Prague right on Welceslas Square. If it looks familar to you (and you haven't been there), it's probably because it's been featured in movies like Mission: Impossible, and Chasing Liberty.
















Prague is the capital, and largest city, of the Czech Republic. Often called the "City of a Hundred Spires," it is situated on the Vltava river in central Bohemia, and is home to about 1.2 million people.
