In May 2018, Eileen and I enjoyed a combined land tour/ocean cruise vacation to Alaska. In part 1, we described our land tour visit to a gold mining area, a riverboat excursion, an indigenous American native area, visiting Mount Denali National Park and lastly, a scenic train ride to our ship in Whittier. Once we were boarded and somewhat settled, it was time for the “muster” drill; what to do in case of an emergency. Then the first of many food courses.

In a fast-growing village, few things wear out faster than the water and waste water systems. The village has about the same water infrastructure that it had back in 1999. In the past 18-plus years, Huntley’s rates have increased very little. When Sun City opened in 1999, the village’s population was less than 3,000. Today, it is about 26,700.

Another Christmas has come and gone, with not a single lump of coal at the bottom of my Christmas stocking! To be honest, that may or may not be a testament to my good-boy status over the past year, because I don’t know where Santa would find a lump of coal these days, even if he felt my behavior warranted it. Does Amazon deliver coal to the North Pole?
