Bought a ulu knife and bowl. Could not believe how many people put them in carry ons.

Thanks for that correction Kamloops. I plead deafness and bad memory.

We bought salmon jerky. Best! Wish we'd bought more.

Not to hijack the thread but my wife is interested in purchasing smoked salmon, not the canned jerky type (although I plan on buying some of those tins) but the frozen ones on our September cruise and having it shipped home. The only issue is that we disembark on 9/9 and we are spending a few days after in Seattle. Would there be any issues? Or should we plan on a neighbor accepting the package?

Are there any issues with bringing smoked salmon from Alaska home, if I will be flying from Vancouver (Canada) home to the U.S.?

Most shops will ship home, much easier than worrying with it.

Totally off topic, I'm noticing people using the abbreviation my "DW" on so many threads, what on earth does this stand for?

 

Thanks, so lost!!

I have bought on various trips over the years, t-shirts, soap, coffee mugs, locally made jewelry, and art prints to frame at home (Scanlon arts in Ketchikan is great), and last trip I bought dh a collector's knife from a local maker in Ketchikan with a fossilized handle as a surprise birthday gift I had shipped home.

I love the jams made from the wild berries in Alaska. But remember to put them in your checked luggage!

[Sally Forth]

LOL! I read "jams" as "jeans." Which brings up that if you use cheater glasses for reading, there are some really pretty ones with native designs on the arms of the glasses.

Great stuff! Also love the idea of sending stuff back from the local post office.
