"DCL Klondike Kruisers" - August 23, 2011 PART 2

[jel0511]

I was wondering if someone who is already able to book excursions (I'm not till next week) could tell me what times are listed for the these excurisions

Ketchikan-Kart Expedition and Bear County and Wildlife

Skagway-Best of Skagway and Evening wildlife expedition.

thanks very much. Trying to plan before Tuesday night so I'm prepared.

Finally got in....

For Ketchikan, you won't be able to do both of the excursions as the times overlap a bit. The Kart expedition leaves at either 12:15 or 12:45 with the Bear one leaving at 12:45, 1:44 and 3:45. The first one lists a 3/12 hour window for the excursions so they can't be booked for the same day. In Skagway the Best of Skagway leaves at 8:45 and lasts 7 hours, the evening Wildlife one leaves at 12:45 and lasts 6 1/2 hours. Again, you'll have to choose one or the other....

Thank you so much. Now decisions, decisions, decisions.

Are you doing the whale watching with Harv & Marv? Our group loved them!

Remember to take your PASSPORTS on your Skagway drive since you will be crossing into Canada!

We are doing Harv & Marv, I can't wait. WE are also doing the White pass but taking bikes back down

Good morning Mary Esther

I think we have seen enough rain. It hasn't stopped since Saturday.
I want warm weather.
I started last week working my annual May to the end of June at the Fishway.

I'm pretty sure that's the same excursion we signed up for. I'm super excited to be biking - should be a blast!

Good morning! It is raining here too and it is depressing. We have not seen the sun in days. I would love to do the white pass with you but I have not ridden a bike in years. It would not be pretty. Tommy has been in indianapolis all week and should be home tonight. I am going to Churchill Downs tomorrow afternnon for lunch and horse racing. I will donate my $20 to the track like I alwasy do.

Jose will be a US citizen on Friday morning. We are so proud of him!

Good Morning!

Finally getting caught up with everything here and I have a day off, YEAH!! I'm getting excited too, can't believe we are in the double digits. Rick and I are still planning on visiting each of the stops and doing some Geocaching. Holler if you're on a budget and want to meet up to do a little caching and snacking around one of the stops.
Hope you have sun where you are...here it's still raining and cold 55, kinda like some parts of Alaska will be in August

Happy Wednesday!

Me too! We are planning to take the skytrain, although with my mom and dad though, I'm thinking that this may be to much for them, with luggage, I'd love to know about a car service...

We might be up for that! It's been awhile so my spotting skills are a little rusty, but we always enjoyed that hobby. We have nothing booked in Skagway, that might be a good place for us

Good for him!! Give him our best!! Do you want anything from the base for him?

I am hoping it's not too steep, I am a big chicken!!!!

We have beautiful weather, the humidity has not showed up yet!!! It's in the 50's at night and 70's in the day. This florida whimp wears a sweater to work in the morning!!!

Someone posted this over on the Vancouver FAQ thread. Thought I'd copy it here in case anyone was interested.



If you are interested in taking the Big Bus tour in Vancouver. There is a groupon for it that is good through tomorrow to purchase. It is good through the end of September.

If you see something that would be appropriate that would be great! I am having a hard time finding something for him. Tommy said we are giving him Megan and that should be enough.
