Our Alaska Video Our long anticipated adventure is finally winding to a close. We awakened Saturday morning to sunrise over Vancouver. We said goodbye to our home for the past week, and to Michael's Club - we'll miss them and they assure us they will miss us,...
Today was less hectic. It was a day at sea. We relaxed a bit. Some of us took a couples massage class. One of the things we learned as we took our turn at giving our spouse a massage, is that we are not so limber as we used to be! The scenery as we cruised...
Yet another wonderful day. Ketchican. It's a tiny village perched at the base on mountains right at water's edge. It's accessible only by water or air and is one of the obligatory ports of call for cruise ships. Since we did not have a shore excursion booked and...
We all dressed up for a second formal night and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. You should have seen the production of trying to get all of us to cooperate for a photo! Somehow during dinner the story spread that Steve & Karen and Ed had been booted out of Michael's...
It was a wonderfully exciting day in Hoonah, Alaska. Despite the rain, we saw lots of wildlife both marine and aerial from the whale watching boat. Loved the hospitality of the local people as they shared a little of their culture with us. At the Wild Alaska Cooking...
Another day of breathtaking scenery! We embarked on an excursion in the company of Ed and Anita and saw Glacier Gardens, some incredible gardens crafted in what had been a mudslide area. From flowers planted in the roots of upside down trees to...
Spent the day in Skagway. It was a wonderful adventure to ride the White Pass & Yukon train with John & Amy. We saw fabulous scenery and the some of the treacherous trail that the Klondike Gold Rushers faced. In town we visited some Klondike Gold Rush...
Glacier Watching from a Cruise Ship Day at Sea but with unbelievable scenery. We started the day with a talk by the naturalist on board. Later we joined him in the icy rain up on deck to view Hubbard Glacier, the largest tidewater glacier on the North American...
Enjoyed a morning hike in the woods near Alyeska Resort. Other Moosecruisers spotted the bear in the woods. Our bus ride to Seward was interrupted by a visit to Big Game Alaska Wildlife Center. In the afternoon we boarded Celebrity Summit in Seward for the beginning...
Started the day with a stop by a stream hoping to see salmon run but we were a little too early in the season. Enjoyed a visit to the Alaska Native Heritage Center then back aboard the luxury motorcoach for the trip to Alyeeska Resort. A stop at the jade shop yielded...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

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!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
