Alaska Tomorrow..the easy way!
We had planned a 9000 mile trip in detail from Wisconsin to Homer, AK, for several years now. Well, after our 6000 mile trip out West last year with all the driving, we are still going to Alaska but by plane, ship, train and motor-coach.
Flying to Vancouver tomorrow, catching the Celebrity Millennium up the Inside passage ending the cruise in Seward, then by train and bus all the way to Fairbanks and back to Minneapolis. Our RV trip would have been about 3 months, this will be 16 day and no driving this time.
************************************************** *****************
We made it up the Inside Passage the cruise was 7 days and we disembarked in Seward. Right now the wife and I are sitting in The Talkeetna Alaska Lodge looking toward Denali. We took the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Talkeetna, tomorrow back on the train to Denali for two nights. Then up to Fairbanks for two more nights. Alaska so far is a big rain forest with super thick clouds and rain, the locals say this is normal?!
Actually the wife and I are happy we cruised here rather than RV it. The campgrounds are not what we have in the lower 48, basically gravels and a place to park and most seem rather small.
Diesel ranges from 3.55 to 4.00 per gallon.
See ya later
See ya later!
