* This cruise has a heavy Asian and Indian influence. Vancouver was surprisingly that way also.
* Asians love to take pictures. Boarding on the gang plank, every turn found us waiting for four Asian ladies giggling and laughing and taking every picture imaginable at every turn.
* Even though there is no smoking on the ship except designated areas outside, the casino always smells like smoke.
* Traffic in Juneau was very kind. Stopped to allow us to cross the street all the time.
* I’ve met two quilt shop ladies and our wood working operation may expand into Vancouver and Alaska. Speaking quilt is universal.
* Musicians are rock stars. They impress me. Here they have an amazing rock band, BB King band and dueling pianos. All are coordinated for when one stops the other starts. So talented.
* Alaska is number one for homelessness. If you come here without a plan you may end up without a plan.
* Muesli a cold form of oatmeal type cereal served cold. Great for fiber. I like it and will have to figure out how to make it like they do here.
* In Juneau they boycotted the Walmart. The low prices according to residents would have put the locals out of business. Wow! Small people win over big box retailers. Walmart left.
* Juneau has the world’s smallest CostCo.
