Rare mysty Posted December 10, 2023 Author #1901 Share Posted December 10, 2023 For those interested in the recently added port Haines, Alaska, here is some information from http://whatsinport.com. "Most cruise ships pull up to the Port Chilkoot dock at the foot of historic Fort Seward, a few blocks south of the town center. Some smaller cruise ships dock at the Fast Ferry dock, a block south of the Port Chilkoot dock. Both docks are within (up hill)walking distance of most of the town's main attractions. On those rare occasions when more than one ship is in port, passengers may be tendered to the dock in smaller craft. During cruise ship dockings, there is a Shuttle Bus service that runs every 30 minutes. It starts at the Port Chilkoot Dock, and makes a loop to the Sheldon Museum, Visitor Center, Library, Dalton City, Eagle Foundation, Fort Seward Historic District, and then back to the Dock. Haines is situated on a spit of land on the west side of the Lynn Canal along one of the deepest fjords in the Inside Passage. It is one of only three ports in southeast Alaska with access to Alaskan roads. As a result, Haines is a busy place in the summer. Many vacationers (and their vehicles) ride a ferry to Haines and head up the Haines Highway to the USA Highway into northwestern Canada and the interior. Other visitors arrive by cruise ship. In warm-weather months, the town's population swells considerably. Popular shore excursions include tours of the town and surrounding sights by van or bicycle, river-rafting through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, kayaking in the area fjords (Lutak and Taiya inlets), hiking in the rain forest and flight seeing trips to nearby glaciers. Charter boats offer saltwater fishing, and several outfits guide hunting trips. There is a fast ferry from Haines to Skagway. Here is more information on Haines.....https://www.visithaines.com/plan-your-visit/about-haines/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit of a Nervous Nelly. That's part of the reason that I spend a lot of time planning. Of course, all the planning in the world doesn't help when things are out of your control. I am definitely more comfortable now! 😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted December 15, 2023 Author #1922 Share Posted December 15, 2023 We got a surprise today! FedEx delivered a mystery package. It is amazing. They sent it early because we are flying out tomorrow. They did presentations like this for the 2016 and the 2019. We were told they weren't doing it for 2024. Surprise! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted December 17, 2023 Author #1923 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Late update.....we arrived in Bridgetown at about 3:00 pm. Some snags along the way. However, the Fast Track in Bridgetown was wonderful. There were at least 2 flights arriving at the same time. We were waiting for our luggage within 15 minutes. We had a private transfer to Sam Lord's Castle. The spot is beautiful and staff are eager to please. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
