I did not want the trip to end. I wished airplanes were not invented and we could ONLY cruise!! I never had the feeling of, "OK, time to go home." Traveling with David and Janet was great! They are beautiful people with hearts of honesty, love and respect. A GREAT combination if you ask us!! As I said before, I had never been on a cruise, but I am SOLD!!! We were NOT out in the open ocean, we were on the inside passage, and we hear that makes a difference with the smoothness of the ride. We really enjoyed the fact that you can relax OR be active - up to US!!! Food was amazing, staff was A1!!! Now I want to cruise the Caribbean!!
DAY 6
Skagway
First thing in the morning, we met with David and Janet to begin our excursion - Chilkoot Trail Hiking and Rafting. Another GREAT tour guide that told us all of the stories we'd ever want to know about this trail. Pretty amazing part of our history. If you want to read about some BIG adventures, google this trail and check out the photos online. We just did 3 miles of this 33 mile hike. Thankfully, we had PERFECT weather!!! There were only a few pesky mosquitoes after we were hiking awhile. We sprayed ourselves, put our hats on and were fine.
By George, I believe we are in a rain forest!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
The underside of a VERY dangerous, thorny leaf!! Do NOT touch this!! Darn it that I cannot recall the name of this plant. :-(
Lions and Tigers and BEARS!!!!! OH MY!!!!! Well, at least we saw some bear skat!!
Caterpillars made their cocoons!!
We chose Trailhead!
Crossing a little bridge.
That there is glacier water!!
Our 'chariot' awaits!
Getting ready! Prepare for take off!
Dick made it in the raft!! WOOT WOOT!!
Looking good Janet and Dave!!
We're cruising!!
WHEW! We made it back on land!!
I gotta get Dick some boots like these!!
We had a few minutes, so our guide took us to a look out point at the port.
