• Our Alaska Farewell

    We were busy in Fairbanks! We experienced history first-hand with trains, gold, sled dogs, a pipeline, a native village and a salmon bake!

  • Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge

    This post includes a great tour of Denali National Park with a view of Denali! We learned about the Iditarod and held a Husky puppy!

  • Mt. McKinley Wilderness Lodge

    With only one night at Mt. McKinley Wilderness Lodge, our time may have been better spent relaxing by the fireplace learning about Denali.

  • Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula

    The land portion of our CruiseTour is underway, and an eleven-mile float trip down the Kenai River was one of our favorite excursions so far.

  • Scenic Cruising: Grand Finales

    The last two days of our cruise were spent at sea, providing very different emotional responses to the icy waters of Alaska and its glaciers.

  • Gateway to the Klondike

    In Skagway we learned about the gold rush, had a dapper storyteller/tour guide on a streetcar, and the float down the Chilkat was fantastic.

  • Alaska’s Capital City

    In Juneau we saw the awe-inspiring Mendenhall Glacier and its falls, and breathed in the purist air on the planet near some old man’s beard.

  • Alaska’s First City

    This post covers an at-sea day, 17 bald eagles, squirrels in a canoe, a former red-light district, and awesome views of the Alaskan waters.

  • Best of Vancouver and Bridge

    Today we glimpsed Stanley Park, had a fabulous afternoon on Granville Island, and explored the rain forest at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

  • A Terrific Day in Victoria, BC

    We officially begin the cruise portion of our trip on Vancouver Island with an all-day excursion to Victoria and Butchart Gardens.

  • The Trip of Our Lives 2023

    A trip out west requires three hard (and boring) days of driving and a whole lot of distractions. We found some good ones in ND, SK, and AB.
