&lt;P&gt;Meridith and i are now officially booked on this cruise.&amp;nbsp; It's our first&amp;nbsp;cruise, our first Olivia&amp;nbsp;trip and our first trip to Alaska.&amp;nbsp; We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary right in the middle of the cruise -- we couldn't think of a more fun way to celebrate than on a cruise to Alaska on a ship full of dykes.&amp;nbsp; And I'll have had my 60th birthday a few months earlier, so this is a two-way celebration for us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We are&amp;nbsp;wicked excited (to use a favorite Boston expression)!&amp;nbsp; To continue the questions (out of order of course):&amp;nbsp; we are both from Cambridge MA; Judith works as a consultant/trainer in a university HR department.&amp;nbsp; Meridith is a clinical pharmacist in a community hospital in Cambridge.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We've started looking at excursions.&amp;nbsp; We'll have to see which things we can do given our limited mobility.&amp;nbsp; We're sure we'll find plenty!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;By the way,&amp;nbsp;Meridith is on the left and Judith&amp;nbsp;(Zisseh) is on the right.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is the picture we published in the Boston Globe newspaper to announce our 25th anniversary celebration.&amp;nbsp; We may have been the 1st dyke couple to do this; we hoped we would start a trend... &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Looking forward to a great trip!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Judith and Meridith&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I signed up for this one, while on the Mexican Riviera cruise, too!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1) I'm from Bowie, Maryland.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2) By day, I'm an environmental engineer with the MD Transportation Authority.&amp;nbsp; By night, a standup comedian.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3) I've been to the Eastern Carribean (2009), Western Carribean (2010), Sun Cruise (St, Maarten, St. Thomas, 2010), and Mexican Riviera.&amp;nbsp; (With this Alaska Cruise, I'm finally a WOW!)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4) I haven't had a chance to look at the excursions, but I'm told the helicopter ride is amazing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can't wait!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;-Joyce&lt;/P&gt;

I've wanted to take this cruise since a friend of mine went in about 94 or so..... the timing was finally right! Traveling with 3 freinds &amp;amp; looking forward to making even more!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1. Where am I from?&amp;nbsp; Tucson, AZ&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2. What do I do?&amp;nbsp; I used to be a Respiatory Care Practitioner&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3. What excursions am I considering? kayaking sounds fun.... plus...... who knows......&lt;/P&gt;
