SenatorsFan Posted January 29, 2018 #101 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks for finishing this up! FYI, the drinking age in most of Canada is 19. In Alberta, Manitoba and Québec it's 18. Hope your son enjoyed his first legal drink. :D Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he downed it like a pro. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckersMidwest Posted January 30, 2018 #109 Share Posted January 30, 2018 My son graduated from Mizzou in 2015 and works for the Conservation Department. He worked a few years as a temp/seasonal worker for a couple of years for them then started full time. Yellowstone is a great opportunity ! I remember reading about Alaska & Montana jobs.....one of the job requirements was "Be able to run from predators." Definitely different than a desk job !

Matlily Posted February 27, 2018 #110 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thank you very much for your review, we are booked on the same cruise in August the last one of the season! were so excited having only done the Carribean and Mexico before. We are due to get to Seattle on Saturday from Texas is that too long in Seatlle? we are flying directly back after the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krc99080 Posted April 2, 2018 #111 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I never should have doubted Pete! We loved this tour! I was worried that the boys would be bored, but there was enough outdoor nature time for Nate and history and delicious food for Ben, beautiful scenery and interesting stories for Mark and photo-ops for me. The duration was perfect. We were ready to do some exploring on our own when we were dropped off. We arrived back in town with plenty of time to look around and even to sample some iconic Alaskan seafood. I’ll share those pictures in the next update. Next Up: Town of Skagway Thanks for such a thoughtful review of this tour. We’ve booked it for our May Alaskan Cruise! Makes me even more excited to go. I liked the idea we could stop at scenic points for pictures and not just drive by. Plus still have time for the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediterranean_Honeymooner Posted December 28, 2018 #114 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just stumbled across this review searching for Alaska Legend reviews since we just booked fir April/May. Then I got to looking at your pictures and I thought “hey, I know them!”. Love your reports over on the Disboards. I mostly lurk these days due to the chaos of a full time job and 2 small kids, but I have been following your reports for years! ❤️ (I am Disneyparklover over there.)

BeachClubDee Posted December 29, 2018 Author #115 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Oh my gosh! I can't believe I haven't visited this thread for almost a year and I have failed to reply to several of your comments. I am so sorry! I wish I could say it was because I spent the year travelling the world, but that was not the case. I didn't see any notifications until I got one this morning. Replies coming!

What did you do in the ports? That is great to hear about your son's job with the Conservation Dept. My son Nate spent the summer between his sophomore and junior year at UNH working for the Wyoming Conservation Corps. He loved it. He was on a team that had 6 10 day hitches. He spent time building fences, making trails, breaking trails, felling trees, uprooting invasive plants, painting. He didn't have to run from predators, but the highlight for him was seeing moose. He is studying abroad in New Zealand for the Spring 2019 semester. Not a bad gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to answer your question about Seattle. My husband has been a few times for work, but it was the first time for the rest of us. I really loved the city and I thought there was a lot to do. The Space Needle, Pop Culture Museum, Aquarium and Waterfront, Zoo, Harbor cruise, the ferris wheel and EATING! What did you think of the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagway was incredible! So many interesting, scenic and different things to see. We all enjoyed learning the history of the area. I would say it was the highlight of our tour, and it would have been if not for the bears. How was your tour of Skagway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your comments about my reports. Glad you have enjoyed them. I had a busy 2017 of travel- this cruise, my first Disney cruise with my pal Teena in early October and a trip to WDW with a few of my buddies at the end of October. No Disney trips in 2018 though. First time in 10 years I haven't been to the world. Thanks again for your post, especially since it got me back to replying to this report.
