Day 4 Denali. I did an early morning walk around the property and ended up in the line to get coffee. A lot of people were doing the bus tour and getting food to take with them. I got my husband and we went to breakfast. We were the last group they were having so when they ran out of something they were not being replenished. The only juice available was cranberry. It was a nice breakfast. Afterwards, I walked around for a little while. I had to do some work, the internet was not the best, but it allowed me to do the work I needed to get done and I was able to do some laundry as well before leaving for Denali Park in the afternoon.

About 40 minutes. I really enjoyed it and thought it was worth the $10.

Denali continued. Denali was much larger than Mt. McKinley. We stayed close by the river. My husband did an ATV excursion and I did the Dog gone it tour. The family raised the dogs and the husband had done the Iditarod several times. We both got back around 10 and had dinner at the pizza place.

Day 3 Mt. McKinley to Denali. Early morning walk and coffee run before waking up my husband to go to breakfast. After breakfast the weather cleared for a little while and we had some great views. We went to the naturalist presentation which was about moose. We had lunch and drove to Denali lodge, the drive was less than 2 hours.

Mt. McKinley continued. We spent some time in the lodge and booked the Aurora Symphony for 8. The treehouse is a centerpiece of the lodge. We walked the trails and went to the Treehouse, then I had a coffee prior to the show. Our room was by the theater. We really enjoyed the Aurora put to music. We had a dinner at Base Camp, because that was the only restaurant open.

Day 2 Anchorage to Mt. McKinley Lodge. You put your luggage inside your front door and it is picked up around 6. Once I heard the door open, I was awake. I went to do a work out in the hotel gym, but had a hard time finding it, so I decided to walk around downtown Anchorage for 30 minutes. Took a few pictures of the view from the room. We had breakfast. My husband tried the reindeer sausage and I got to have chicken and waffles, which also came with bacon. We took the bus to Mt. McKinley. There was a stop about an hour away and you could catch a shuttle to the lodge, but we wanted to get settled in. We had a late lunch before checking out our room.

Thank you. I have two dogs. I never pack until the day before.

I felt like when I was planning the trip, I did not see a lot on CruiseTours, so thought I would post my thoughts. I created YouTube videos of each day of my pictures. We have been to Alaska twice on cruises. Alaska is my husband’s favorite place, whereas mine is Europe. We did the land portion first then the cruise, I think it is much preferable. We had the premier package and an interior room on the ship. The logistics is that on the land tour you can carry a personal size item on the bus and train. You can have a carry on size bag that is transported separately and sometimes doesn’t arrive until several hours later. They also can send any other bags to meet you on the ship. We used Princess Air and had no complaints. It was a long travel day from Tampa to Anchorage. In real life I do Keto. When I go on vacation, I go completely off. Therefore lots of food and drink pictures. . Clyde looking pathetic before we leave. Pumpkin Spice Latte. Lunch during our layover in Dallas. No food on the flight from Dallas to Anchorage. Almost 8 hours. Cotton Candy Cosmopolitan. Drink on plane. After a good long while we arrive and a bus to our hotel, Captain Cook. We were missing a bag. Got everything sorted out and ate dinner around 1:30 our time.

I booked Sun for April 2025 several weeks ago.

I book the thermal suite whenever available. I have seen women wearing t shirts and shorts. I have lost 80 pounds and am still fluffy, but before I would wear swim dresses. I like the long top with boy shorts bottom and to me they provide plenty of coverage.

Something more fun - what's your favourite drink order?

I like margaritas normally but not my favorite drink, but for some reason the 24K Margarita is my favorite Princess drink. However, I also am partial to about half the martinis on the Crooners menu.
