Fourteen years ago today after three years of planning, forty-four friends embarked on a two week adventure to the Land of the Midnight Sun, just in time for the Summer Solstice. From Fairbanks and Denali to Ketchican and the Inside Passage we had one fabulous adventure after another. The two of us chronicled it day by day on our blog which you can see by clicking here. From there you can see the video recap by clicking on the green button at the top of that first page or by clicking here.
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
I enjoyed going back and reliving your trip! The whale watching and bald eagle sighting was spectacular. What a great trip. Looks wonderful
WOW! That’s the experience of a lifetime. I wanted to sign up with your “travel agent” but I read that it was 3 years in the planning which I imagine you researched and planned yourselves. You folks packed in so much into that trip – amazing, simply amazing.
Actually the experience, including the tour of the interior was a two week Alaska tour booked through Celebrity Cruises and their rail cars on the Alaska Railroad were simply extraordinary!
