We awakened to a rainy morning. Since we hadn't gone into Talkeetna Wednesday evening we felt it imperative that we go in for breakfast. So we grabbed umbrellas and set out. The shuttle took us only so far then we traveled afoot on in to the little town. We joined...

Alaska
Land of the Midnight Sun
See Park Video We awakened at Denali Lodge and had a simple breakfast before meeting Susan & Caroline to take the shuttle into the park and walk the Horseshoe Lake Trail in Denali National Park. Back at the train station we heard tales from the hearty souls who...
Denali
We departed Fairbanks aboard the Alaska Railroad in the Royal Celebrity dome car. The views were phenomenal. Breakfasted with John & Amy. The food was superb. The staff was fun. And the drinks were extraordinary. We lunched at a restaurant in Denali National...
We Found Gold!
Literally! And figuratively. It's been a fun day. We're in the Land of the Midnight Sun and we just had to get up in the middle of the night just to see the daylight out of our hotel window. We rode on the Binkley Family's Discovery III on the Chena River....
The Longest Day
It was a wonderful but incredibly long day. It started well before dawn. It was still dark when we arrived at Tampa Airport. We rode in a shuttle van with the Hamiltons and Eanes so the party started early. At Tampa Airport we saw the sun rise. We haven't seen it set...

OUR VERY
LATEST
Jives Aces in Tunbridge Wells AND Portsmouth
From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
Underground at Charing Cross
Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
Simply Stonehenge
A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.
