It is always so nice to hear from happy clients. Where is everyone traveling? Here is one who just returned from Alaska. Have you been there yet? What was your favorite attraction or excursion?
We had a wonderful time. Everything ran smoothly (except the plane ride home) but it all worked out fine....and i would never recommend where we parked our car in philly...but thats another story.
Trip out was seemless. we took the time in seattle to take the train downtown. Visited the fish market. Got to fairbanks that night and our bus driver pointed out the denali peak (said only 30% of the people get to see it - but my son questioned that bc we saw it 3 days in a row). Riverboat tour the next day was great....my boys took on a challenge from the bus driver to eat 12+ donuts (but they only got to 😎. We really enjoyed the hotel at our 2nd stop - kids had a huge room. Did some 4 wheeling there and boys went golfing. Did the tundra wilderness tour which was nice - but had i known we would see the peak at mt mckinley lodge i'm not sure i would have done that 5 hour trip....might have done some hiking instead. We tried the luggage split between the ship/land but we ended up w/all our bags at every stop - No biggie.
Everyone there is so knowledgeable and friendly.
Views from Mt. mckinley lodge were beautiful but not much to keep everyone busy there....
Went to talkeetna the next morning and walked around a bit. Then boarded the train to the ship.
Ship was great....kids enjoyed that part the most i think (at least the food). We did some excursions in each place and walked around in the shops. Grizzly falls zipling in Skagway. Kayaking in Ketchikan. and mendenhall glacier and mt roberts tram in juneau. Ship had lots of activities....Kids liked the pool outside and watching the big movie screen from the pool.
We really lucked out w/some fantastic weather the entire trip so that surely helped the whole way thru.
Thanks for all your help....i hope the kids made some lasting memories. The views in alaska are just breathtaking.
