Hey Crew news, got one more ? for you. The Ballard tour doesn't end til 1, and the crown doesn't leave til 5. Would I have time to hit the most popular sites there, usin the visitor's map, startin with the eagle park, there on the docks of 1 & 2, run down the st to see where all the places are, then over to creek st, wander around there, up the funicular an out the front door of the hotel, an wander where the paths will lead. Don't plan on seein the sights that are the city park, the totem center, & etc. Had also been thinkin, that whatever time the ship allows one to get off that morning, say 7:30 or so, can run over to see some sights there, before the tour starts, believe the tour starts at 9:45, but I could be wrong, an have been known to be wrong before. Then still make it back to the ship before it leaves. Oh have been on the Nieuw Amsterdam, to Alaska, the cruise was great, but didn't care for the ship or food. As you can see I'm a rcl or princess member. Gonna start practicin with the camera, got squirrels & birds around the bird feeder, so could start with them.
