My friend from heresent me a shield and I used it for the driving part of my trip. (thanks Three!) I was on the Rhapsody of the Seas for an entire week and just had one small leak! What a great time. I saw humpback whales, Edicott Glasier, Juneau, Skagway...went up on the tram 1,800 feet up on a cable. I highly reccomend the Skagway museum. My son and I are already talking about another AK cruise for next Aug. I hope no-one puts off a trip like this just because of having an ileostomy or whateverpouch issues they may have; It was a blast! gentle hugs from lex
