Jeff and Jenn’s Alaska Cruise from Anchorage, AK to Vancouver, BC
Room service for breakfast today, followed by the hot tub and a trip to the spa for our free couples treatment. I found it very relaxing and it left my skin feeling smooth and exfoliated – Jeff’s too, although he was a bit too out of his element to be…
No real plans today – we were lucky to sleep in till about 9am. After breakfast we took a camera free walk along Front Street to all the touristy shops looking for a trinket that Jeff could buy. After going back on the ship for lunch, we headed back out…
EARLY rise this morning. Got in line for the tender to shore at 6:30 and we were on shore in the rain by 7:10. After a thorough soak, we got in the Misty Bay Lodge van and took a 10 minute ride to the house to check in for our…
Today was jam-packed for sure! We woke up early to be off the ship before 8am and to our first adventure, the White Pass Railway on a 3 hour long ride up to Canada and back. Seeing the mountain up close and the raging water from high above was something…
Water and Salmon and Bears, oh my! That’s right – we saw BEARS today! Soooo excited about that one. First one we saw was behind some brush but looked right at us. Second one was being boring and sleeping in as tree, but the third one ran right past me…
Woke up early this morning and I went to a massage and facial. That was supremely relaxing. Jeff wrote for the blog while I did that – though we have yet to get online (obviously if this is posted we will have been online). Following that was bingo. Jeff got…
After our long and relaxing morning Jenn and I left the Courtyard Marriott and went to the Anchorage Airport to meet our shuttle bus that would take us to Seward, where the cruise ship was docked. The scheduled time of the pickup was 1pm. Jenn and I were there at…
Woke up early this morning and ate breakfast at our hotel. We then had some lazy time in the room. Not much to blog about but we did go back to the lake from last night – Lake Hood – where we watched, and listened to, the sea planes taking…
Decided to stay at the hotel tonight for dinner. We are actually right outside in the courtyard enjoying the light that apparently never ends in the summer and Jeff is having an Alaskan beer while I sip on an appletini – complete with a lime? I had to throw that…
A 5am wakeup started our day. We then attempted to get the paperwork we need for our hotel and failed. Starbucks and then to Jen P’s for a ride by 630. We got to the airport a bit before 7 and stood in line to chek our bags. That seemed…
Our Alaska cruise is just over 3 weeks away and I am getting excited. We have made most of our plans with our friends Denise & Spank and Elise & Bruce for our excursions and outings while on the cruise. Our four friends will be doing a 4-5 day land tour…
