11 Free (or nearly free) Things We Did in Ketchikan, Alaska

In August we took a Celebrity Millennium Alaskan cruise - Our first stop: Ketchikan, Alaska. In this video we did 11 things that totaled less than $100 per person...wayyy less expensive than the prices the cruise ship offered.

    It is crazy expensive, indeed! I justify it by realizing if I bought a boat, a fishing license, gas, harbor fees, it would cost a lot more! :) My favorite is to mix a can of sockeye with an equal amount of chopped walnuts. Add some craisins, liquid smoke and a little mayonnaise. Wonderful dip or sandwich material!
