An Eclectic Vacation

• Thursday, July 5th we will drive to Debbie's in Mount Vernon. 
• Friday, July 6th we will drive to Bellingham to get the ferry to Juneau. 
• Monday, July 9th very early in the morning we arrive in Juneau.  We are doing this vacation with Nathan,  Dorothy (George's sister), Ed (Dorothy's husband) and Madeline (their daughter).  We will spend the week in Juneau.  Nathan will show us around.  When we first came up with this plan, Nathan was living in Juneau.  We were going  to go visit him.  But now he has moved to Portland. All the weather reports say that it will be cold and rainy our entire time in Juneau.  Maybe this is why Nathan left.
• Friday, July 13th we head back to Seattle and then we will go to my 50th high school class reunion.  It will be at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, WA. 
• Tuesday, July 17th we head home. 

I am saying this all now because there may be some times that I will not be able to blog. We are not likely to have internet connections on the ferry and it will be spotty in Port Townsend.  I will try to not be too frustrated.

NOT!!

I guess this was not meant to be. Today we got a message from the ferry saying that the ferry had mechanical problems and so this trip to Juneau was canceled.  Argh.  What to do??? Fly to Juneau in stead? cancel Juneau?  Do something in Seattle instead? something in Portland?  We have had a flurry of emails.  Trying to see if we could get any refunds for the Airbnb, flights, ferry, ... etc.  So, new plan.

• We are still going up to see Debbie and Joe on Thursday the 5th until Saturday.
• Back to Portland.  Dorothy, Ed & Madeline will come to Portland part of the week.  Those plans are still undecided.
• Friday the 13th we will drive to the high school reunion.
