Tuesday 9 September This morning we’d had to adjust our plans because we’d been advised we could switch our car over to one that dind’t need an oil change. So after breakfast we drive about 30 mins drive north towards lake Louise, but only as far as Johnstone Canyon. There…
Sunday 13 September When we arrived at the Dining Room we were advised there would be a wait for a table this morning so we decided to have a light breakfast from the small cafe – coffee and cinammon rolls, we were keen to get out and back on the…
Friday 15 September Easy breakfast in the room this morning , muffins fruit and coffee! We set off around 9am but not far down the road we lost an hour when we slipped over into the next time zone. We had quite a long drive today along BC Highway 3…
Thursday September 14 We breakfasted on our back deck, again enjoying the view over the bubbling river before checking out and hitting the road. The scenery for the next hour or so was very in keeping with the “Old West” feel of Winthrop. There were rolling grassy hills and some…
Tuesday 12 September Today was one of those rather tedious travel days that happen sometimes on a trip. We were booked on a 2pm flight to Seattle but needed to return our rental car to Anchorage Airport by 11am. We had a leisurely breakfast and checked out by 10.45. I…
Sunday 10 September We woke this morning to some wonderful news! Simon and Tracey have been travelling in Iceland and Simon had chosen a beautiful location there to propose to Tracey – and she said Yes! We are so happy and absolutely delighted, so once we’d woken up properly and…
Friday 8th September On the road again! And heading back down south from Fairbanks. The weather this morning was so much better than the day we drove north so our views for the drive back down were much better. We stopped at some overlooks that had been rained in on…
Not surprisingly we slept in this morning! We had slpet to late for the hotel breakfast so ate the last of our muffins and coffee to get the day started. We needed to sort out our tings which we’d just dumped on the floor before crawling into bed at 4…
Tuesday 5 September It was brighter this morning when we woke. We breakfasted on Muffins and berries that we’d bought yesterday in Seward and hit the road by 9am. We needed to backtrack along the Turnagain Arm road as far as Anchorage before winding up past the Knik Arm inlet…
Sunday It was bucketing down with rain when we woke VERY early this morning. Whittier port looked a little dreary! We had been allocated a disembarkation time of 6.40 am so we were up at 5.30 to have time for breakfast and to be ready to go when our group…
It was nice to have a slow start to the day today. The ship would be cruising north long the Gulf of Alaska and then into Prince William Sound around late morning. In the later afternoon we would enter College Fjord for the really scenic part of the day.We were…
We set our alarm early for the day we’d been looking forward to the most. Today we visited Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve. This was really the entire reason we had booked ourselves on a cruise as although it’s possible visit this National Park independently, it’s much easier to…
