Coral Princess Southbound from Whittier to Vancouver. Since we have several families going, everyone has their own plans:
July 11th - Fly up to Anchorage, pick up the rental cars and drive down to Seward and spending the next 2 nights in the cabins.
July 12th - The girls are going on a Kenai Fjords nature cruise and the guys are going halibut fishing.
July 13th - We're going to the Seward Sealife Center and to explore the Kenai Peninsula then drive back up to Anchorage to turn in the rental car and spend the night. My parents are going fishing and will meet us in Anchorage.
July 14th - We're all taking the train down to Whittier and boarding the ship and probably having some lunch. Then it's likely that my dad will get back off and fish some more since we don't sail until evening.
July 15th - College Fjord (Maybe a couples massage for DH and I)
July 16th - Glacier Bay (Thinking about the Ultimate Balcony Dinner here)
July 17th - Skagway - Half of us are going with Chilkoot Charters on the White Pass Railroad and the other half are renting a car and following Murray's Guide up to Emerald Lake so my dad can fish along the way. Then hopefully we'll have some time in town to shop and explore.
July 18th - Juneau - Dad is going on a guided fly-fishing trip. Others are going with Harv and Marv to whale watch. DH and I are going glacier trekking and then taking the tram up to Mt. Roberts. (Both weather permitting.) I'm haven't figured out what to do if we get cancelled for weather. I'd like to jump on a whale watching trip but I know they are booked far in advance and getting one at the last minute isn't likely. I may print out some hiking trail maps and we can just explore the trails and the town instead.
July 19th - Ketchikan - Dad is going on another guided fishing trip. Mom is headed for a Totem Pole and wildlife sanctuary tour with the ship. The rest of us are going kayaking in Orca's Cove and from there we're jumping on a float plane to fly out to see the bears. Then hopefully we'll have some time to explore the town and do some shopping.
July 20th - Sea Day - Do nothing. I just want to relax and enjoy a day at sea and make the most of the last day of our vacation. Maybe we'll do a specialty restaurant for dinner.
July 21st - Vancouver - Feel sorry for myself as we head for the airport to fly home, but I'll be anxious to pick up my furry baby from doggy camp. My parents are spending a few days in Vancouver, where I'm sure my dad intends to find a place to fish. :D - SF
