The Alaskan Adventure

On Wednesday, May 31, 2006, Cindy and I will be off on our vacation to Alaska. We will leave Albany, NY and fly (via Cincinatti) to Vancouver, BC. After a couple of days in Vancouver, we will board the Holland America cruise ship, Statendam, for a seven day cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage, with stops in Ketchikan, Icy Strait, Juneau, Sitka and the Hubbard Glacier, docking in Seward on Friday, June 9. From there, we are overland to Portage Glacier and then Anchorage. On Saturday, June 10, we board the McKinley Explorer on the Alaskan Railway for a trip through the Alaska Interior to Denali National Park, home of Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. We stay overnight in Denali and then tour Denali National Park on Sunday before boarding the train again for Fairbanks. After a couple of days in the Fairbanks area, we will fly home via Anchorage, Chicago and Albany, NY. Our return to reality will be on Wednesday, June 14.
