June 2023 Viking Alaska and the Inside Passage

Image
This is a learn as I go experience.  It is always helpful to have people make suggestions about what works and what doesn't work and to that end, I will continue to include commentary for each days stops, along with pictures and I will also include "all pictures" in one place so you can just breeze through them at your leisure and don't have to check each day.  All links that are blue and underlined will lead to photos! PICS FROM ALASKAN CRUISE - 2023 June 18 - Happy Father’s Day - picked up Helen and are spending the night at an airport hotel, so we can be ready for our 6 am flight 😜 already started the trip by forgetting our Viking luggage tags, so will see about doing “ghetto” tags once we get there ….

Traveling to Japan with David and Cory 2022 - Japan Pictures NOV 9:   Newark to Seattle … Flight leaves at 4pm …. Always feel better after we are on the other side of TSA!  We should be in Newark by 1130, so plenty of time! …. Well …. Maybe adequate time would have been a better statement… an hour and a half to get thru TSA 😜  NOV 10:  Seattle to Vancouver to Japan - At least SEATAC was organized chaos 😜 TSA Agent was entertaining - if you have Twitter, follow the TSA account - it’s a scream 😂 next stop: Vancouver! I love traveling with David … he had snacks for my hangry self after getting through security…macarons … always a favorite 😋 NOV 11 :  Arrival in Tokyo   One quarter of all Japanese live in Tokyo or the near vicinity.  With a population of over 12 million, Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world.

LOL Here is a cute video of my sweet companion that crossed the rainbow bridge last year.  He was sassy right to the end!

A New Way to Share

Image
IMO, Facebook has become toxic.  What started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends has become a labyrinth of passive aggressive behaviors and downright ugliness from people I used to admire and now question their authenticity and genuineness.   If you've made it this far, you've made the choice to see what else is "out there" and you are welcome to this little space.  We have had so many wonderful trips and this is a way to share a little bit of travel with everyone.  I am "late to the travel party", but have come to love and appreciate the time spent among other people and cultures.  It has widened my view of who "we" are.    Feel free to join us on our journeys! ALL RED LETTERS LEAD TO LINKS! August 2018 - Detroit Michigan Starting off our ventures with a trip to Michigan to visit with friends, Mike and Karen.  Throw in a little side trip to the Henry Ford Museum, a cruise in the Dream Mile and call it a wrap! 2018 - Detro...
