Chillin' in Alaska

Originally uploaded by itsjames2u. I'm in Alaska this week for work. How many people get to say they HAVE to go on a cruise for a business trip? Not many, I guess. This is one of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen, and the only thing that would make it better is if my beautiful bride were here with me.
I've never been homesick before. Not that I've ever been much of a traveler, but anytime I've been away from home, I haven't felt terribly depressed. This time it's different. I'm here in a gorgeous part of the world, yet I miss my girls terribly.
I'm jonesing for some good Internet access. Access on the ship is pretty spotty... and expensive. They charge 69 cents a minute for something that's maybe, MAYBE dial-up speed. Yuck. I'm posting this from a bar in Juneau with free wi-fi. By the way, the Alaska Amber they're selling up here is pretty good.
Anyway, I'm enjoying the sights and the company of the group we're with, but I still can't wait to get back home.
