South of France Adventure Part 3: The Luberon
We headed west of Moustiers to our next destination, the Luberon. We extended our drive further west so we could visit the iconic Pont du Gard which is a 2000 year old Roman aqueduct. Chris had never seen it and we just couldn;t be so close and not make the visit. We took the guided tour so we could visit the top level. The whole thing is quite a sight and the photos do not do it justice. From there we stopped at Lex Baux de Provence where we explored the town and the huge castle. We arrived in our home base destination of Roussillon which is the ochre town located right in the center of the Luberon area. It was the perfect base for exploring the surrounding towns of Gordes, Lacoste, Saint Saturnan-les-Apt, Lourmarin and more. A highlight of our time here was the privately guided E-bike tour with Eric of Electric Move. Our Airbnb was absolutely fabulous! Right in the center of Roussillon near the town tower clock. The views were incredible. DM me for details on the bike tour and the townhouse.

South of France Adventure (continued...)
Our second stop was the Gorges du Verdon, about 2h15min drive from Saint Paul de Vence. The area is known as France's Grand Canyon. We loved this place! The area has a ton to do: canoe, kayak, pontoon boat, swimming, hiking, paragliding, scenic drives, etc. We based in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie which is a CHARMING town perched against a dramatic cliff. We stayed at La Bouscatiere guesthouse right in the center of town. I would recommend this lovely, character property. We booked the large Amber Suite.
If you consider staying here, DM me and I will give you more information about the property.

Chris and I spent two weeks in the south of France in early September. We flew into Nice, rented a car (automatic) and drove 25 minutes to the iconic town of Saint Paul de Vence, the first of our four homebases for this trip. This was my first time visiting Saint Paul. I thought a stay here would offer a relaxing start to our vacation, and it certainly did! The drive from Nice airport was very easy. If not renting a car, you can take a taxi or Uber.

I arranged for us to stay at the 5 Star hotel Le Saint Paul which is nestled in the very heart of the walled village. I had booked us into the Elegance room (lead in category.) When we arrived we were treated to an upgrade to the Deluxe Duplex!!! We very much enjoyed that!!!

This extremely lovely and tiny town is well known as a tourist mecca. However, during the mornings and evenings we had the town all to ourselves. We ventured out of town during mid-day to explore the surrounding villages and to hike in the countryside.

Not far from Saint Paul is the lovely town of Tourettes-sur- Loup. We also drove to charming Gourdon and hiked out from there for spectacular views.

Saint Paul de Vence has several fine restauants. Le Tilleul was one of my favorites. The sunset view from the outdoor dining area is spectacular. The photo of Chris and I with the sunset behind us was taken here.

Sitka was a very nice port of call. I visited a bear conservatory, the raptor center and Tongass National Forest and Totem Park. Also available at this port are whale watching cruises. Those who did so were rewarded with sightings.

Dogs and trains in Skagway!!!
When you come to Alaska try do an activity that includes the sled dogs. I chose the visit to the Mushers Camp. You could also take a helicopter and experience dog sledding on a glacier ( a splurge!). During the afternoon I rode on the White Pass train. Stunning scenery, great fun!!!

Our second port of call was Juneau. I took the included excursion to Mendenhall Glacier. Very nice park with a lot of nice trails. (See the photo of the map)I wish I had more time to explore. The town was nice with shops and restaurants. Lovely! I got a great picture of the Viking ship all lit up as we were pulling out of port.

Klawok (pronounced kluhwok with emphasis on second syllable) is a new port of call for cruise ships. Ours was the second ship to visit! Excursion options include a town highlights tour, a highlights and tasting tour, kayaking and a whale sighting tour.

Incredible sunset sail away from Vancouver! The ship is gorgeous. Lots of crystal chandeliers, Versace dinnerware and, magnifient art. I had dinner in the main dining room Compass Rose. Check out the menu. I ordered the beef tenderloin Peruvian. Amazing! Very much enjoyed the show in the main theatre. Slept like a baby on the extremely comfortable bed!

Woke up to views of the Inside Passage. After a work out I had a massage at the Serenity Spa. Best massage of my life!
Lunch at Prime 7. Check out the menu.

This ship accommodates 750 guests. Nothing is crowded!!! No mad rush to anything! ❤️❤️❤️No port stops today. Sea day with scenic cruising.

It was a gorgeous day in Vancouver! As this is my first time to visit, I booked a city tour to take in the highlights. My favorite stops were Stanley Park with the lovely totem poles and great views of downtown, and Capilano suspension bridge park which is a top notch attraction. Just a bit outside of town, this park is in a rain forest and includes not only the bridge but also a cliff trail, raptor exhibit, and fantastic boardwalk “hikes” through the forest. The kids will love it! I am staying at the JW Marriott Parq…wonderful hotel with superior service. Highly recommend!
