Five more nights before departure on this gigantic trip, and so much still to do! We've checked off about 800 items on the to-do list, but not packing or house cleaning. And, a new cat wandered into our lives yesterday... as usual. This is the 3rd major trip where a homeless beast has arrived when we had zero time to deal with the situation.The newcomer is all white - a wonderful complement to our all black Ebony. So, of course, we've named her Ivory!
Meeka is delighted, but Eb is naturally out of sorts. But things work out. We'll see.Thurs, Sep 11
Ivory has a home, it turns out. The cat stayed with us overnight yesterday, and has nicely settled in, sleeping on the dining room table and in a bathroom basin. Lovely animal. A visit to the vet was squeezed in, and a scan there revealed a microchip with the information that he lived 2 blocks away. The (negligent?) owner didn’t even know the ravenous cat had been missing, but she came over and was reunited. Back to packing. One night left.

Have a wonderful time. :)
Is the bell on Ivory yours or did you steal a cat?
We Googled Ketchikan and Juneau at dinner tonight. For Ketchikan there was a nice little video touring the town. We plan to follow as possible each night. Hope all is as breathtaking as it promised to be.
We had a little excitement last night about 11:30. There was a sudden wind storm that took down one of the branches of the tree out front with a mighty crack. Following the crash came total darkness as the hydro lines came down for the two houses. It took 12 hours for Hydro to restore the power. Fortunately no damage to us but the neighbour's car was severely damaged.
Amazing how much for granted we take electricity.
Enjoy your trip.
