T-minus 27 hours and change. That’s where we are for our Alaska Adventure. Tonight I’m packing and checking the weather forecast for all the places we’ll visit.
Point of Origin: Phoenix
When we leave Phoenix on the 2:00 flight, it will be in the high 90s. Can’t say I will miss it all that much.
Destination 1: Vancouver, British Columbia
It’s a 3 hour flight to Vancouver and we’ll be landing late in the afternoon. 84F is such a nice temperature. I believe I will be wearing shorts on the plane and as we explore the city on Tuesday Wednesday looks to be another shorts day since we won’t be anchors away until late afternoon. I better pack some shorts!
Destination 2: Ketchikan, Alaska
Thursday we’ll spend the day at sea. It could be a little chilly out on the water. It might be a good day to lounge around in yoga pants, especially since we have swanky dinner reservations at Sabatinis at 7:00! We’ll arrive in Ketchikan on Friday morning and take the Lighthouse, Totems and Eagles Excursion. I hope the rain won’t be a problem! I’ll definitely need a windbreaker for that…and jeans.
Destination 3: Juneau, Alaska
Saturday looks to be a bit of a repeat of Friday weatherwise as we stop in Juneau and participate in the Mendenhall Glacier Helicopter & Guided Walk! Should be a cool (pun intended!) activity requiring the windbreaker and jeans once again.
Destination 4: Skagway, Alaska
Our last excursion from the ship will be on Sunday in Skagway. We will be riding the White Pass Scenic Railway. At least we’ll be out of the elements on the train.
Destination 5: Whittier, Alaska
We’ll spend Monday and Tuesday doing the glacier cruise so I vote for comfort and yoga pants again. We’ll have another dress up dinner on Monday before we disembark in Whittier on Wednesday morning.
Destination 6: Denali National Park
From Whittier we’ll head inland to take in the magnificence of Denali National Park. We’ll spend the night, Phil says he and Kevin are going to hike to the top (yeah, right) and we’ll head to the Anchorage Airport Thursday afternoon.
