Talk about near misses, I just saw on Facebook that my neighbors were in Skagway the day after I was. Of course, they took the boat there.

And, when we were at the Welcome to Alaska sign for a picture, a bus from Skagway pulled up and a family got out that lived just 20 miles from me. They took the picture of us at the sign. Yeah, they rode the boat too.
