North To Alaska--May 3, 2011 on the Disney Wonder

[bonzie1]

Wondering if DCL will make an arrangements for anyone wishing to purchase an ulu.

I got ours several years back.

I bought some when I visited Anchorage 30 years ago (gulp... 30 years!!!). I had several for gifts and didn't want to lose them so... I put them in my carryon! What was I thinking!!! Of course I was stopped by security!!!

Fortunately my hosts were still waiting at the gate so I ran back and slipped them back through the bars and they mailed the ulus to me!

Georgie - you will love the float plane - we have flown to Bimini (Bahamas) in one from Florida.

I am excited about our port excursions - excuse me - port "adventures" - also!

 

[bonzie1]

Here are the excursions we've decided on:

Skagway
Yukon Suspension Bridge, City and White Pass Railway - Adult only 7:15 - 11:15
Skagway's Original Street Car Tour 1:00 - 3:00

Juneau
Whale Watching, Salmon Bake and Mendenhall Glacier - Adult only 7:45 - 2:15

Ketchikan
Lighthouse, Totems and Eagles 11:15 - 2:25
Classic Misty Fjords Flightseeing 4:30 - 7:00

Joe is already saying... Georgie, you're squeezing in too much! This is a vacation and I want to relax a little bit.

 

[Lynn G]

Georgie - looks like we will see you on the Juneau adventure. Tell Joe he can relax the days at sea

That's Great Lynn!

Maybe we can strike it rich when we pan for gold! (If we buy the souvenir gold panning kit at the Trading Post). This sounds like a great tour filled with different activities. Plus Blueberry Cake! YUM!

Does anyone have recommendations for Vancouver? We do not want to spend a fortune.

On a side note: did everyone see the Dream. We can't wait till the fantasy.

We booked at the Hampton Inn and Suites.. not to far from the terminal.. wasn't too terribly priced.. Plus, many hotels are already booked and sold out...

I know. we're on the maiden of the Fantasy

Hi,

I am sailing on the Aug. 9th cruise. I was wondering if someone could please, tell me the times of the Dogsledding on the Mendenhall Glacier tour in Juneau? I am trying to see if we will have time to also do a whale watching tour. Thank you so much!

Dogsledding is not available on our cruise, so we do not have times for you - sorry, try someone on the next cruise, it might be available by then.

 

[DL1957]

Hopefully we get through at 12:01 am to book Palo's and shore excursions. Hopefully will have better luck with brunch reservations on this leg but not holding my breath! Sue
