Today is embarkation day. I spent last night at a friend’s house in Houston. Normally I would stay in Webster which is about a 30 minute drive to the port. Today we have a one hour drive.

Good morning! We’re on our way to Ketchikan this morning. This is the last port day of the cruise. I’m going on a bear watching excursion today. That was something I wanted to do last year but missed out on. It was early in the season so there weren’t…

One of the big items I wanted to check off of my list in Alaska was bear watching. When I came here last year I was able to see one bear briefly on my Tracy Arm Fjord Glacier Explorer tour. I tried to book a Whale and Bear watching…

Good morning! I headed downstairs to get a coffee from Starbucks as we make our way to Skagway. Skagway was replaced with Icy Strait Point on my Alaska cruise last year so this is a first time port for me.
Here is today’s schedule of events.
Since I’m pressed for time…
