Alaska. Serene. Snow topped mountains. Glaciers. Abundance of trees. Clouds. Drizzle. The perfect spot for a serene, peaceful and relaxing cruise.
The bad side of cruising now is unlimited wifi. The worse part of wifi is being connected to the world. When I first cruised, 36 years ago, there was no phone service; no television. My husband and I still do not watch television when cruising.
But the Internet, emails, Facebook, and the world can now reach out and fracture the serenity.
I am an advocate for gun control. I say all automatic and semi automatic weapons must be banned. I say the NRA and its lobby are killing us by allowing the mentally ill and terrorists get guns.
The NRA members are not acting like patriots, as they support a way for terrorists to get guns. Especially loopholes for Internet and gun show sales.
I say vote out all legislators who receive money from the NRA. There are many more of us then them. Support legislators who take a stand against gun violence!
I am tired of my vacations being destroyed by reports of mass murders, this time senseless killings in Orlando. And week after week after week. Do not tell me guns don’t kill.
You would think after Sandy Hook people would understand. But no. Instead across the country schools have become little fortresses. Children learn by drills what to do if a killer enters their building. A sad reflection on our world.
I am, like many others, praying for a return to serenity of a peaceful world. A world where a vacation cannot be destroyed by reports of mass murders.
Petitions.whitehouse.gov. Go to Ban the AR-15 From Civilian Ownership.

I agree with you 100%. If so many of us feel this way, why can’t we change the system? How do we dismantle the power the NRA has over Congress? Try and enjoy the rest of your trip. The world and all its sadness will be here when you return.
Will enjoy trip. But feel for all those who lost loved ones. Happening way too often.
