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.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
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!
