Good Afternoon. We have been home almost a month now and after finishing up adding these pictures I am ready to go back. And not because it is 96 degrees here. It was a wonderful trip and I can't begin to explain or describe how beautiful Canada and Alaska are. I have tried to update the pages with pictures, so if you want to bore yourself some more feel free to check it out. I must say we learned a few things about blogging and traveling and the most important is to bring a laptop. The Ipad just isn't as easy to use when you want to edit and add pictures. We also learned that road trips are not any not cheaper than a cruise. So we will continue to do most of our travel by ship.
If you are looking for a road trip I highly recommend Western Canada and Alaska. We put on over 7100 miles on the rental car and the 23 days flew by. I am sure we could have easily spent another 2 weeks and still not seen all there is to see. If you are a hiker and a camper this country would be heaven.
I highly recommend using the internet and TripAdvisor. We spent about 3 months prior to the trip planning and researching. We sent away for numerous brochures and maps that proved to be extremely helpful. Invest in a copy of the Milepost and put in your planning before the trip. We made reservations in every city prior to leaving the states and only changed one of our reservations due to a change of plans. Hotels are few and far between in the Yukon and in some cities you only have one choice.
Prior planning made the trip exciting as well as we had something new to look forward to each day, Our next big trip is a cruise to South America and then on the Fort Lauderdale ( a repositioning cruise) Happy Traveling!!!!
