7 Days - 7 Time Changes

We are on our last sea day of the trip and we think that the 7 time changes that we have had in the last 7 days is finally getting to us. We managed to get up earlier today but it is hard to keep any routines with the "hour forward tonight" notice on the bed every evening. we are about 5000 miles from the port in China and have covered about 3000 since leaving Japan. The number of activities seems to have slowed as we approach Alaska. Tomorrow we are along side at 5 am. About 1100 people are staying on with only 700 or so leaving the ship. Another 1000 or so are boarding. We probably will see every street and house in Whittier since everybody lives in one condo building. All 200 of them. We hope that the snow is gone at least in the streets. We will be into the fiord the next day and the captain reported that there is a pod of whales in the area. Still having trouble eating the 15 meals a day.
