(Ew. WordPress updated. I hate the new editor. Why you change things for no good reason? D:)
I went on another cruise, this time with friends (and my mom) to Alaska.
It was the same ship as last time, which was fun because a lot of the crew recognized us from the last time. Also, it was fun to see the differences with the crew that had changed over, including the captain and cruise directors.
Overall, it was a great time. Alaska is gorgeous (especially Sitka), although not quite as pretty as New Zealand. Here’s the same over-the-back-of-the-ship shot as Picton, for comparison.
The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan was great.
Also the Alaskan congress wasn’t in session so we were able to walk around the building in Juneau.
The Dawes glacier was also a highlight.
Additionally, because the trip started and ended in Seattle, we got to see people there (and a Russell in Victoria), so it was a very nicely people-y trip on land, too.
But with this trip we have (finally) crossed another 25,000 photo threshhold so it’s time for more photo stats!

Photo count table (looks like I actually missed the 525,000 milestone last time and substituted the 550,000 milestone for it, so this is the corrected table):

Photos by month over time, log-y axis:
And linear y-axis:
Total photos over time:
And time between 1000 photos:
These stats are perhaps unsurprising given the number of trips I’ve taken this year (ski trip in February, cruise to Alaska and New Zealand in March, Alaska in May) in addition to Carnival in April.
Life is so full of people and travel and things right now, and it’s amazing. <3
