Wednesday, June 15, 2011.

Today we arrived in Skagway, Alaska where the gold rush produced a town. the man in control was Soapy Smith who was very crooked, but most of the gold diggers didn't realize it until it was too late. He pretended to be their very best friend and would offer them money to go back home after he had robbed them.
We have stayed here last summer for almost a week and thoroughly enjoyed the town.Today we decided to just walk the town and I hit the jewelry stores for the Alaskan charms that the ship provides to the stores to prompt a visit from it's passengers. I have all of the charms except for 2. Maybe I can order them online. I'll have to try when we return home late thus summer.
The sun is shining for the first time on this cruise, but it is still cool outside. I have picked up a cold from someone on the ship with a cough that wakes me up at night. Been buying mucinex to take each night, but it hasn't helped. Went to the ship's doctor and $160.00 later have a prescription for 350mg aspirin to gargle with and arithromiacin, 2 tablets every 12 hours. hope it works because I don't want to give it to Julie. John and Julie offered me her spires inhaler which seems to work somewhat. Therefore, the cold has brought my asthma on. Thrills!!!!
