Vacation planning woes

Because I took on this wonderful project that keeps slipping, I won’t have time to go to China as I had planned. And, because China is now off the list, my partner and I have been talking about taking a cruise to Alaska. I asked my Aunt Debbie about her experience when she who took a cruise there a couple of years ago. She and my uncle LOVED it. I got excited, as it is supposed to be beautiful during the summer.

We found out the other day that all of the cruises to Alaska that leave in Sept. are sold out. Now, I’m not sure what we will do.

We could just take a backpacking trip for a couple of weeks. I think getting away anywhere for a week or so would be a lot of fun. I’m going to check into staying at a cabin somewhere on the ocean or hiking to a mountain lake. Have any suggestions?
