Since I watched all of these movies on the big screen this summer, let’s do this for a change of pace while I’m traveling back from New York. If a movie isn’t listed, I didn’t see it. Regrettably Paws of Fury is one I missed. If you haven’t seen…

I enjoyed cruising out of Seattle. There is a lot to do there pre-cruise. In two days I didn’t get everything I wanted to do done. That was with a boundary I set for myself between the stadiums and the Space Needle. I can expand that and come up…

I decided to do Mendenhall Glacier on my own. Most of the glacier excursions I read about had people complaining that they didn’t have enough time in the Glacier Center or they didn’t have enough time to walk down to the waterfall. I even read about some who got…

Good morning! Today we’re going to be in Icy Strait Point. This port was originally scheduled to be Skagway. A couple months ago they changed the port to Icy Strait Point. I had a Whale and Bear combo tour booked for this port. That excursion was canceled on the…

I originally booked the Whales, Wildlife and Bear Search excursion in Icy Strait Point. That excursion was canceled on the first day of the cruise.
Since I booked a tour that guaranteed a Whale sighting in Icy Strait Point, that freed up my Juneau day for Mendenhall Glacier.
The cancellation put…
