We're talking Glaciers and Sitka today as we continue through areas and ports we visited on our Alaska cruise and take a Sitka Culture and National Park tour. 

Initial disappointment because our Helicopter trip to see sled dogs was cancelled due to fog turned into a good day of exploring Mendenhall Glacier and watching Humpback Whales! 

Today my teenage son Jack visits to share his thoughts on what was his favorite port on the trip - Hoonah and Icy Strait Point.  We went on a Bear Search excursion and for this one used an outside vendor rather than the cruise ship's excursion and I'll share why that may be a good choice for your family. 

Our first port city on our Alaskan Cruise was Ketchikan.  Hear about our shore excursion to Misty Fjords - the largest intact rainforest in the US and the 2nd largest wilderness area in the US, Creek street and exploring Ketchikan.

I'll talk about our favorite spots on the Wonder, the embarkation at Canada Place, our cabin and tips for the Alaska Cruises!

A weekend in Vancouver before we embarked on an Alaskan Cruise on the Disney Wonder.  Take time to explore this wonderful city if you are leaving on a cruise from Vancouver - it is a great city! I talk about Stanley Park, Vancouver Lookout, Steamworks Brewing, Italian Tomato, Hampton Richmond (airport), Hampton Downtown, Capilano Suspension Bridges, Fly over Canada, Boston Pizza, Vancouver Aquarium, Stanley's Bar and Grille and more! 

Today we visit Indianapolis for the running of the Indy 500 and share tips and tidbits from  a lifelong fan of the race.
