Grattan Weather

Not quite inside the 10-day window yet, but I'm
cautiously optomistic

I don't know the Global Warming™ is going to make it 98º so that cannot be accurate

80 and sunny during the day, and down to the low to mid 60's at night for great sleeping. Looks like the humidity will be low enough that Grattan's micro-level weather system might not be an issue either. Can't beat that.

It definitely beats the "threat of huricane" along the whale watching route.

I thought it was an Alaskan cruise? so that would make it a "threat of tsunami"

The only "threat" I have to worry about is if they run out of vodka on the ship...

Is that what it takes for you to go on a vacation with your wife? I'd wear your water wings in case she discovers your "true feelings" while out in the middle of the ocean. Or maybe she already knows ... "I don't know what happened. I went in to get him another drink and when I came back he was gone?"
