Today we were back on the ferry. This time it was sunny and warm and we got loungers on the solarium deck up top and watched the most amazing scenery go by. I have a ton of pics, i'll upload them at somepoint today. Glaciers, waterfalls, mountains, so much beauty on this ferry trip. Other than that, pretty uneventful, food was actually good on t...

Another cruise note: every night there is some show, comedian, hoe down, cabaret or other entertainment. We haven't really bothered with many of the ship board activities as it is all aimed at an older market, most people on the cruise are closer to the grave than me. I have talked with other cruisers (is that what I am?) and they said the shows...

Today's port: Skagway. We were off the ship by 7:40 AM and on our way to the Avis office. We picked up the rental car and we were off on our adventure to the Yukon. We used Murray's Guide as we drove along which is an excellent source of information mile-by-mile as you drive from Skagway to the Yukon.

It was a foggy rainy morning in dow...

Came down white pass that was 20 miles long to get into Skagway What a treat.Also had to go thought customs. The next day we went on a wildlife and whale watching cruise to Juneau. Had a tour of the city and went to menedenhall glacier then returned to Skagway that night the trip was 140 mile long. The next day we went on a train ride up white p...

This album contains photos from two great tours available in southeast Alaska: Musher's Camp and Sled Dog Experience (Alaska Excursions) and the Haines Eagle Preserve Float Adventure (Chilkat Guides). We sell these at the tour desk, so on our days off we are able to go on these tours when there are open seats since first-hand knowledge is helpfu...

Thursday, July 10 We have been camping in the woods nine miles from Skagway at the lovely NPS Dyea campground, and this morning we crossed the Taiya River to visit the historic Dyea town site and join another NPS walking tour. This town had a very short life. It began with the gold rush and attracted residents fleeing the lawlessness of Skagway,...

Wednesday, July 9 At almost exactly the midpoint of our two-month trip, we have arrived at our destination: Skagway, Alaska. From here we will begin our return home, slowly, sailing toward Seattle with the ferries of the Alaska Marine Highway in a direct reversal of the route that the Klondike gold rushers took in 1897-98. But we have been sayin...

We had all morning in Skagway before meeting up for the ride. Hans and I had two goals - pick up some better rain gear and get our tacky souvenir shopping done. We got lucky with the gear - Hans got some lobster gloves and we both got another layer of clothes in case of foul weather... so we split up for souvenirs. Hmmmm, what to get for Hans - ...

25th May 2008 I was still feeling dizzy and off balance, and really quite nauseous. Not sure if it was the just side effects of the drugs or probably more likely everything together. All my muscles were really aching and I was really tired. We were in port again at the town of Skagway. We'd had a shore excursion booked, but weren't able to make ...

At first I thought Skagway was a boring town because there's really nothing to do...several souvenir shops, nice and decent places to eat, but then my husband and I started taking tours and that's when Skagway's appeal came to me! We took the Yukon train ride upto the border of Canada! gone whale watching, travel back somewhere in time at Liarsv...
