2011 Alaskan Cruise

[BillyJoe]

Just returned from our Alaskan cruise this year. The weather was much better this year (warmer and sunnier) than last year (cloudy and damp). A couple of small handpays in the casino on board the NCL Pearl, but nothing huge. I did place 3rd in my first-ever Texas Hold-Em Tournament. Here are a couple of photos from the trip.
 
The card backs even said VideoPoker.Com. No wonder I couldn't win. 

 
 
 
Guess what I am thinking....
 
  
 
My thanks to Farmer1 for the warm outer garment  - it came in handy

Do you know how to make a "Duck Fart" ? No, you don't pull it's little beak. . It is the famous drink in the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau, which is a little drinking town with a fishing problem. Of course, old BillyJoe had to have at least one..

What fun pix, Billy! Glad you had a good trip and thanks for sharing! Someone who never played VP probably said "Winning isn't everything!"

You are right, Mama. Maybe that was my problem.  But actually, the only time that I felt comfortable taking pictures in the casino was when it was 'closed', like when we were in port.

THANKS FOR THE FREE ADVERTISING BILLY, GLAD YOU HAD A NICE TRIP.

I know it is not VP related, but I had to share at least a couple of scenery shots from the trip. I hope you enjoy. If you have never been, it is worth the trip.
