Our Alaska Adventure is at the halfway point
Our Alaska Adventure is at the halfway point. Though not focused on the end of our vacation, there is a nagging little buzzing in my mind. We are skimming along the terminator that divides the beginning and end part of our Alaska adventure. The real downer comes on Thursday when the packing begins.
However this is only Monday and we are docked this morning in Skagway. I attempted to post a blog entry yesterday in Juneau but the connection was terribly slow. This morning feels the windiest and coolest we have felt this entire trip. The temperature says 59 but the feeling on our skin is cooler due to the humidity. It is partly cloudy and the sun is trying to peek out. You can see flashes of light hitting the snowcaps on the mountains surrounding this waterway.
Today begins a shopping trip until noon and then my Mother-in-law and niece are going on the White Pass Railroad up to Whitehorse, B.C. in Canada. They will return via the train. Laura, our daughter and I are going on a ferry to Haines, Alaska to take a float trip through an eagle preserve. I hope we get as lucky as we did when seeing the humpback whales yesterday when we were stopped in Juneau.
Tomorrow, my daughter, my niece and my wife and going over to Icy Strait point. There they have built the longest zipline run in North America at over 5,330 feet with a drop of 300 feet. They say they could get up to 60 MPH! I will be down at the bottom taking pictures! On Wednesday, we are going out on one of the boats featured on the Discovery Channel’s program “Deadliest Catch”. The Aluetian Ballard is now docked in Ketchikan and takes out tourists and shares more about the lifestyle.
So even though our Alaska Adventure is at the halfway point, we still have a lot more vacation left! Thanks for following along with us virtually!
