CruiseIsGood Posted April 27, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2005 How long are you there? Some ships stay from early morning to 11pm or so, so it would help to know how much port time you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK*Angel Posted April 27, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That will be plenty and you'll not have too much time to spare to have lunch or do any shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseIsGood Posted April 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Try to prioritize them. If you're going to do a helicopter flight, it would be at the top of my list. :) And then it's all your preferences. Nothing that you mention requires advance purchase but a helicopter, so maybe start with that, and see how much you can cram in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2005 With your port time, no you do NOT have time for it all. And if you want to add a flight- that needs to be considered first for available times. I would book with Coastal and see if they can drop off at Mendenhall? If not, I would take a cab directly from Coastal to Mendenhall. The East Loop trail requires at least a couple hours, more if you aren't in top shape. The Hatchery is 4 miles from downtown, you will need a cab back and forth- since you are short on time. The tram can be up and back in an hour, but great trails to consider there too. Not to bother however if you can't see the top. I would NOW see what flights are still available and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwideman Posted April 28, 2005 Author #8 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thanks everyone! I will work on the flight thing immediately!! I have a brochure for Coastal, so I will give them a call!!. At first my husband gave me a tight budget to work with, but after receiving tons of brochures, he ready to make the best of this trip!! Hiking will depend on the weather!! I have my son's rainsuit and umbrella!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
