Hey, I may not be on the best tour or the best glacier or the

most expensive, and I am not going to Denali, no land tour...but

 

I AM GOING TO ALASKA !!

 

I may see snow for the first time since 1984 !

 

I'm going to look at mountains and whatever I can see of whatever

is left of some glaciers <grin>

 

I will see (some part) of a whale I am pretty sure !!

 

I'm gonna see totem poles....maybe some eagles....

Emerald Lake

 

I'm going to visit the Yukon...and see the famous sign

and get my picture taken !!

 

I'm gonna pet some Sled pups....and ride on a cart with dogs pulling it !!

You're a kook!:)

 

I'm in the same state - walking around with a permanent grin. We're going to have fun - aren't we!:D:D

[travelin_nat]

And I see you are going to Eastern Caribbean on Freedom - we did that in October (except we were on RCI Freedom). You are one lucky person!!! :D

[oratheeexplorer]

And I echo your excitement! I still want somebody to pinch me!

[gamblingrandma]

Meeee Toooo!!! Gonna land on a glacier and holler MUSH!

:D

[KruisinKath]

I share your excitement!! Although I have a bit longer to go before my trip....alas, I'll just live vicariously through these boards, reading your reviews when you get back! (hint, hint)... :D

[pattyj 1204]

I just want to say that you are excited and I've been there twice and would go back in a heartbeat. I even tried to talk my husband into going to Anchorage in Feb. for the Northern Lights. That trip is on my bucket list. Have a great trip.

[pmjnh]

Mee too! Mee too!

 

Tomorrow we will be in double digits for our trip to Alaska. 100 days to go as of today!

This is our first time and soo excited. I watch the following shows on Nat Geo and the Discovery Channel to get me psyched!

 

Alaska Wingmen (they profiled Mt Mckinley flightseeing tour recently)

 

 

Alaska State Troopers..not trip related but very interesting to see the country side and the culture (that can be pretty sad, actually)

 

 

Flying Wild Alaska (on hiatus now)

 

Gold Rush

Alaska Coast Guard - they profile the things that the American Coast Guard does out of Sitka, Ketchikan and Kodiak most of the time. It is very interesting and gives you an idea of what they do.

It's awesome to see how everyone is so excited for their trip!!! For some reason I seemed to have mellowed down after booking the trip, excursions and doing all the research! 45 days! give or take :) and we will be at The Last Frontier!!! :D

 

I now ask myself this question...what do you look forward to the most?

[scraplady]

I share your excitement. We have 97 days. I'm researching and planning. My sister says I'll love it and I'm sure we will. DH watches all the Alaska shows too.

I think I am looking forward to seeing the overall scenery......everyone I talk to that has been there says it is sooooo beautiful and that pictures just don't do it justice!

[slider728]

Funny! I grew up in Alaska and felt the same way when I finally made it to Southern Florida last year :)

[billyelliot]

I'm getting really excited too....... Less than 7 weeks away for us! 1st Alakan and 1st HAL!

We are touring the Rockies and doing Vancouver 1st for 10 days. Such an amazing trip :D

[kcbbq]

46 days to go here! I can't believe it's almost time to go!!!

[Okie1946]

Granted - we are still in triple digits, but still getting excited - have started looking at various excursions, trying to decide as to what we want to see. This will be our first time going into Anchorage, Kodiak, Hoonah and Homer and we are looking forward to seeing and doing different activities.

 

Soooo looking forward to this trip.

[goingsailing]

Sounds like we are doing the same thing! With the same feelings! I have wanted to go to Alaska ever since I was about 8 years old. Hearing my dad talk about it put the desire into me. Can't wait, can't wait! I think I have 65 more days to go?!

[Pittypatbr]

YESS!! ME TOO!! I am still preparing, planning, and reading all sorts of books!! I don't think it will really sink in until I get on the plane heading to Vancouver, but I have a permanent grin on my face! I just realized I only have 38 days until I GET ON that plane!! WOO HOO!

Okie - looks like we will be counting down together!!! Come on September :D

We too are going! I just can't believe that we are really going to be there. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time. Great trips for all!

[Frank12]

We share your excitement as well! Take care of the Spirit. We get on her shortly after you do.
