Alaska photos (raw) - Page 2

Love the photos!!

Although the one of the moose made me start singing the "Moose Song" in my head. (If you're wondering what "moose song", I'll post it - just keep in mind, it's not for the um.... clean-hearted.

)

Wow, great photos! I've wanted to do a cruise there for a while. I've been to the tropics and don't have an interest in doing a carribean cruise. But Alaska? Oh yeah.

Very cool pictures Moonliner, looking forward to the trip report!

Moonliner, the pics are awesome. They make me want to go back really soon. My friend wants to take the train from Anchorage to Denali. You're pics of Denali are so beautiful, I can't wait to get there. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!!

NA, the cruise is the best way to get around on the panhandle. It' very hard to travel by car down there. But if you went into Anchorage, you have a wider range of places to go....North to Denali (but it's about an 7 or 8 hour drive. Moonliner?) or south to Kenai Peninsula. All sorts of places to go down there. Harbor cruises out of Seward. You can drive out to Exit Glacier. It's a very beautiful drive.

It's ~235 Miles from Denali to Anchorage. I think it took us about 5 hours (not including a dinner stop)

Can't wait to see the rest!

I'm jealous. I'm jealous. I'm jealous.

This is a new song I have been singing. But only jealous in the way that I have not experienced this...YET!!

Great photos and I do love how you took pictures of the doggies, the menu and the street. I loved that. I wish I were there. There seemed to be a lot of people. Were the areas that were more accessible very crowded? Or were those people from the cruise? Are those areas less crowded on days the ships aren't around?

And, dang, you and Disneyphile really passed like two ships in the night! Talk about close!

Thank you for sharing! I love to see your pics and can't wait for your story.

Mr. Brown Bear??? Curiouser and curiouser...

That's downtown Skagway and that's about all there is to Skagway. It's very accessible from the cruise ship and about 98% of the people you see are cruise folks.

There has been a small delay. In addition to the salmon and trinkets we apparently also brought home whooping cough. I've been in bed most of the week...
