It will review what to bring and other fun and important information to help you prepare for the trip.&amp;nbsp; You DO need to have waterproof boots that come just below the knee for wet landings on shore.&amp;nbsp; I suggest Muck boots, but you can find other less expensive alternatives as well.&amp;nbsp; Just make sure they can be rinsed off easily and&amp;nbsp;are comfortable to hike in as you will be trekking through mud on shore.&amp;nbsp; Also, for wet landings, you need them high enough (just below the knee) so that your feet do not get wet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While on the ship, I like having a pair of Uggs to quickly put on when we hear the Expedition leader tell us there are whales on the port side! :-). They keep your feet toasty warm, and are pretty light to wear or to pack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More tips to come in the materials!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jill&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Amsterdam to Switzerland Riverboat Cruise FOR SALE!!!</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193759.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:24:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:193759</guid><dc:creator>Tajenn</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/193759.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=169136&amp;PostID=193759</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Ladies...we have an amazing trip here for sale...can't go as we are now happily pregnant....so this is for sale for less than the advertised price AND you will get the earlybird discount...so you will save Thousands $$$$......contact us if interested in more details at (905) 713-1885 OR &lt;a href="mailto:jenniferannesmith@sympatico.ca"&gt;jenniferannesmith@sympatico.ca&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; OR on our Olivia profile....thanks and have a great day!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Olivia's Alaska Adventure Cruise Facebook Group</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191837.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:19:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:191837</guid><dc:creator>sleddog</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191837.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=169136&amp;PostID=191837</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;If you haven't already joined the group...come join us…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
