On my trip I saw unbelievable calving glaciers, bears, humpback whales, killer whales, beautiful waterfalls and much more. I definitely recommend going to Tracy Arm. In fact, there is a movie on Tracy Arm called &quot;Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience&quot;. The film captures the beauty of this incredible place. You can buy the film here from Film Baby:http://www.filmbaby.com/films/4148I highly recommend Tracy Arm. If you get a chance, experience it yourself. And don&#039;t forget to buy the film too!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tracy Arm is by far the most scenic trip there is.

When asking where the german pupil T. Kretschmar -the kid that went mad, killing 15 innocent people- got a gun from, he was the son of a deer-hunter, who owns guns legally. The actual news are that Mr Kretschmar- the father is sued for negligent homicide, because he was not keeping the Beretta at a safe place. In Germany, gun laws are very strict. Just like you, I had no clue where to get a weapon from and neither do the people I know.  And thats good.
If I lived in the U.S. and I had to walk to work e.g., I&#039;d think twice about walking across peoples property, when there&#039;s no sidewalk. They could shoot me for a reason, because everybody wears guns. If you counted homicides, caused by firearms in the US and compare them to those in Europe you&#039;ll see that the mentioned massacre in Germany is an exception shocking the entire country. It&#039;s no rule.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey John.<br

isPermaLink="false">http://johnhealdsblog.com/?p=8498#comment-31966</guid> <description>Dear John,
I have kept quiet over the last few days regarding the &quot;Royal Champions&quot; but since you asked, I would like to express my &quot;opinion&quot;.
I am loyal to CRUISING.  I am not loyal to 1 brand.  As you have stated numerous times on your blog, cruising is  a vacation package worth every penny. Room, food, entertainment and travel all wrapped into one fantastic package.And I have been fortunate to have found fun and find value on Carnival as well as other cruise lines.
My thinking is this:  Is it possible that ALL the cruise lines have something of a &quot;Royal Champions&quot; program, but RCCL was the only one to be, for lack of a better word, &#039;caught&#039;?  Something to think about.
No, I don&#039;t particularly like rock climbing.  But that doesn&#039;t keep me from sailing on RCCL.  As well, giant slides don&#039;t do much for me either.  But that doesn&#039;t keep me from cruising with CCL.  My point is, does it really matter in the end?  We all like to cruise and whether ANY of the cruise lines try to reach out and grab guests, it&#039;s not going to make a big difference.
Whew!  I feel much better now.
Love to you, Heidi and the Thingy.
