Thread: Off to Alaska

Have a great time GJ, keep those winter woolies on

Take care up there. Not all brown bears are called Yogi ;-}

The inside passage (without being rude) is awsom and if you get a chance the train ride from Anchorage to Fairbanks through Danieli national park. Enjoy
Oh and its not the bears you have to watch for its the FBI (F_ _ king Big Indians)

Bon voyage GJ, give it heaps!

And don't forget that cube of Sitka Spruce you promised me!

If you have a couple days in Anchorage, see if the dentist, Dr. Paine, is still there; on Minnesota Drive IIRC. Worth a picture of the sign if possible. Also photogenic are the "spirit houses" atop tombs in a graveyard at Eklutna village, NE of Anchorage.

Aurora borealis is awesome, but happenstance.

Cheers,
Joe

Have fun!

Do the White Pass Railway. It is superb.

Thanks for all the kind wishes everybody. I think I could get used to cruise life real easy, SWMBO, on the other hand is feeling sick as a dog, literally, she's gone of for some acupuncture to try and cure her seasickness. I did 3 laps (1 Km)of the top deck this morning to try and work off breakfast. It should work, I was walking in to a 50 knot wind in one direction and trying not to get blown over in the other direction.
Ern, will a 50 m/m cube of Sitka Spruce suffice, I don't want to go over weight and have to pay excess baggage charges. As it is they might not let me on the plane after the cruise, there's not shortage of great food.

Trip like that has been on my list for a while

Gee GJ, 50 x 50 is too generous. Can't you do 5 x 5? ;-}

The cruise sounds awesome you lucky bustard, and you can chk out the talent on deck while the missus is laying a pizza back in the cabin.

(Sea sick tablets worked well for one of my sprogs but I don't want to spoil your holiday).

I guess I'm doubly lucky, acupuncture didn't work, tablets didn't work either

Enjoy it John - i should be doing something like that myself.
