Alaska Live, July 17th - 27th. Just the tip of the iceberg.

The cream of tomato soup that comes with a grilled cheese sandwich is really good there. Chicken BLT with yam fries wasn't bad either. We ate there after our cruise last month.

Sharon is having the soup and grilled cheese. She’s already tipping them back and checking her Facebook.

A few scenery pics from the flight. This is only British Colombia. Imagine Alaska.

 

 

 

I think this is Hop, the home of Jamie Davis Towing.

Almost at YVR picks and at pics from there.

 

 

 

 

Cool retro plane.

 

 

Owen did a project on Canadian art which featured totem poles.

 

 

And soap stone carving.

And sweet Jesus, we almost lost Sharon here. She loves the Maple Syrup.

 

[A&L_Ont]

We would all get the same thing again.

 

Chicken stir fly.

 

 

Pasta for Owen.

 

 

Beef Dip

 

 

And lastly the soup and grilled cheese.

Found you on CC. Will be taking notes. After 60 cruises time to go and see Alaska first through your eyes and then book one for 2020.

 

See you in Juneau :) :)

Cannot get enough Lucy updates :D

How about this sighting from 6am today. She was doing the walk of shame from the night out. Thankfully she’s fixed.

LOL, we have had three meals so far already today with another two to go.

We can see our gate from above. No action yet and boarding is 4 minutes. The plane isn’t even here yet.

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

Is it good for a plane is towed in? Just asking for a friend.

 

[A&L_Ont]

On the plane. Hurry up everyone. Get to your seats already. Throw the luggage down below crew. We should have left 4 minutes ago.

 

All joking aside that we why we like the south bound sailing more, for a one way cruise. Travel at the beginning is fun. On embarkation day, you just want to get home.

 

I think Owen is the youngest on the plane so far. By the demographics embarking the plane I’m wondering if a HAL ship sails tomorrow. Lisa and I are port and Sharon and Owen are starboard.

 

[A&L_Ont]

We must be taking the scenic tour of the airport. Lots of taxi travel.

 

[CruisinMama2003]

Love this photo. Two totally innocent guys. ;)

 

 

Hmmm I only see 1 innocent guy.....in the back LOL I can see the mischief in the other ones' eyes :evilsmile:

Seriously though, I absolutely love your reviews (have read them all!). Safe travels to all :)

[A&L_Ont]

We are airborne again.

 

 

Breaking news! Sharon is now accepting drugs on the plane from the strangers behinds us, who are going on a Silver Seas Ship. The must know how to party on that ship, but she has only been stuck with me for just over 24 hours. The guy who gave it up is wearing a pineapple shirt. You gotta loose your mind before you can find it they say, but I’m not sure how that’s going to help her heart burn.

 

Oh, that was Zantax. I though she said she wanted something that would take her to Xanadu. Sorry folks, just a misunderstanding.

Hey A and fam! I noticed that your land tour has the Natural History Tour in Denali. My advice is to "upgrade" your tour to the "Wilderness" tour, which will take you deeper into the park for a better chance to see much more wildlife!! We saw moose, fox, caribou, armadillo, goats, sheep, bears, etc. Definitely worth the upgrade!;)

 

If you haven't already, when in Juneau, take the 5-glacier tour by small sea plane including lunch at the wilderness lodge only accessible by water, where they will serve fresh grilled salmon!! OMG says it all!:hearteyes: The views from the plane were incredible and the salmon was, as some say, "to die for!"

 

Tom and I are anxious to return to the gorgeous state of Alaska someday and hope to spend more time there! Have a great vacation! CHEERS!!:cool:

No but grandma did. Pancakes for me with some sort of fake maple syrup gravey. There was a strawberry chutney with either sun dried cranberries or the devils scorn. ;)

[A&L_Ont]

We have about an hour left to Anchorage. Weather looks to be great there today. Three of us are wearing shorts so it better be.

 

From what I understand a RC representative will greet us, free us of our literal luggage and direct us to our Alaskan Limo, also known as a highway coach. It will then chauffeur us to the luxurious 3 story Downtown Marriott, where we meet another representative who will give us further details.

 

Details will follow for the virtual followers.

Funny that you kicked this off with a mention of Northern Exposure. I was on a mission a few days ago to find it online somewhere and binge watch the whole thing again. Not available on Netflix, not on Amazon Prime, no where to be found. I read somewhere that there may be a dispute over rights to the music used in the series keeping it from being available. Love NE and would very much like to watch it again.

 

Have a great cruise. Alaska is on our list and I'm looking forward to seeing it through the eyes of your family.

[A&L_Ont]

We are here. The limo was waiting.

 

 

 

 

Cool kids in the back.
