Just arrived home from a wonderful trip!

[canadianbeaver]

Every year or so, Mr Beaver and I head out on a trip called President’s Club. We smoke cigars, drink and eat right.

This is our last trip as Matthew retired July 31. A cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. Wonderful!

First time ever on a cruise. Only seasick the last day. Boat was rocking up and down all day on the way to Anchorage. That’s where the airport was to take us back to Vancouver.

As for doing any shopping, on the whole 8 days, brought home 2 pounds of smooth homemade fudge. Nom nom.

Those Bloody Mary’s are drinks with snacks attached to keep you busy until lunch arrives!

I have heard from several people that an Alaskan Cruise ranked #1 out of all cruises they have taken. Who caught the nice looking Rainbow Trout or Steelhead?? Mr or Mrs. Beaver? 

[Hammer Smokin']

some of those dishes look mouthwatering!!!

speaking of mouth, that fish has a black mouth, which means likely a pacific salmon. likely a small jack king (chinook), or maybe a coho. 

I call it dinner

We all did but that one was mine. That hat I am wearing is from a rock band where we live. I always take a picture with it because they have this request to send a photo wearing it, anywhere in the world.

I would have smoked a cigar every day but I had this cold and cough. I sat in the cigar lounge and shared cigars from boxes I brought for folks from our company. I do that every time to thank the company for the trip. This is the last one but I have told you guys about Florence, Ireland, Scotland, Nevis, Hawaii, and Amalfi Coast, Italy.

@BoliDan you are so right. On the boat there was more choice like this. Only 750 passengers and 450 crew?  To be honest I like driving around on dry land more. I found it kind of barfy sometimes. But beautiful!

The President’s Club Members who go on these trips are top sellers in USA and Canada. They work so hard to go. Matthew is the boss for Canada. Everyone brings a guest. There are three CEO’s and one big boss CEO. They say to Matthew during the year, “Cannot wait to go on our trip and smoke cigars with your wife!”.
