  1. It looks like they have started service again. https://transbridgelines.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Newark-To-Newark-7_11_22.pdf
  2. I wanted to say thanks for the information. We did do the train and walked from City Centre station. We had one large suitcase and a couple carry-ons. It was an easy, mostly down hill walk to the Hampton Inn.
  3. July 6th we got our tests at the Shoppers Mart on West Pender. My phone wasn’t working to schedule an appointment so we walked over and one of the pharmacists ran our tests as walk ins. $100CAD for two but showed as $78 on my Chase VISA.
  4. Whale next to ship just leaving Icy Strait Point, and ( cheating a little ) Sea Lion Vancouver Aquarium.
  5. Will try to add more pictures when I can reduce size.
  6. Taken from our 8th floor balcony last week between Juneau and Skagway. Just dumb luck. DD had her camera out looking for spouts.
  7. I’ve taken the train at least five or six times. IMO, Gold Star is worth it. I just consider the extra cost as another excursion. Adventure Class is basically downstairs and you take turns with the other AC passengers using the upstairs. Gold Star does have the meal and beverages included. ( We don’t drink alcohol, but for sure Coke was included.) They also come around with some kind of snack. Unless it’s something new, the RR did not offer transfers from the hotels in Anchorage. We were always able to get a cab for the early morning ride to Seward. I remember someone comparing Gold Star and AC as first class and economy on a plane. I would agree.
  8. Why would you think my question was unreal? Arriving two days before the cruise and wanted to find a place for a rapid antigen test. The drugstores that offer that are few and far between in PA, but thanks for the info.
  9. Maybe because we were flying first class on Delta, but we checked in a little after 8:30 for a 1:30 flight. No questions asked.
  10. We were among the first ones off the Millennium last Friday at 7:45. We were in one of the first black top cabs ( and ripped off for $50CAD, but that’s another story) and arrived at YVR just before 8:30 for a 1:30 flight. I had global entry, but my daughter did not, and I checked our luggage while she went ahead to security. Since we were at the airport so early, we had no problems and were both at the gate by 9:15. Then it all fell apart as our 58 minute flight to Seattle didn’t take off until 5:46. Yes, 9 hours In the Vancouver airport waiting for them to fix a door and then waiting for a flight attendant. The best laid plans….
  11. Or when they divide ages by decades 10-20, 20-30, etc., and your age is now “Other.”😂
  12. Saw this in a shop in Vancouver (edited) You know you’re old anytime you’re entering your DOB with a smartphone you get to the year and you have to spin that thing like you’re on Wheel of Fortune.
  13. Where can we get tested in San Diego? Thanks.
  14. I have been to both locations of Tipsy Salon Bar at Dania Point and Los Olas. They did great work. https://tipsydaniabeach.com/ https://tipsyfortlauderdale.com
  15. We did get really close again this week, but unfortunately the day was so foggy that we only saw the bottom half of the glacier. Still impressive, though.😊
  16. We are doing a back to back on the Millennium, and yesterday the captain announced we were 1,500 feet from Hubbard Glacier. In his words , “Woo hoo”! It was amazing. Not a lot of calving, but I have never been that close. My iPhone picture doesn’t do it justice. At one point the entire window view at the Lido Cafe was completely ice top to bottom. We will be there again tomorrow so hoping to have the same luck.
  17. My daughter used them last year. Had a good time. https://www.ketchikankayakco.com/activities/e-bike-hike/
  18. I’m on a back to back Alaska cruise. Purser’s desk just said I would be tested on board the last sea day before docking in Seward. No charge.
  19. Posted the same problem, but just figured out how you canceled ( go to My Itinerary ). Thanks.
  20. Oceanraft Skagway is completely different from the rafting trip in Skagway. Oceanraft is a jetboat down the Lynn Canal https://www.oceanraftalaska.com I’ve done it maybe five times. Loved it. The Chilkoot Hike and Rafting is also nice, but a much slower pace. I’ve also done the Oceanraft in Sitka, ( called Volcano Coast rafting or similar). Sit on the last row next to the captain for a less bouncy ride.
  21. I’ve stayed at both the Marriott and AC by Marriott adjoining hotels near Dania Pointe shopping. Very new and nice. Loads of shopping and restaurants a couple blocks away from the hotels.
  22. It was $100 CAD ( for 2) and shows as $77.88 USD on my credit card.
  23. No. Just got ours done today. Used our US driver’s licenses for ID.
  24. Sorry. Our cruise is on Friday. We asked for CVM at the Convention Center Information Desk. The woman told us that CVM was closed, but there was testing for cruising “upstairs”. This is the piece of paper she gave us. We went to the ballroom and were told that they do test for Celebrity, but they would not test us until Friday, the day of our cruise. the name of the testing company was not displayed.
