Adventures in Travel and Life
It rained all day! And we were prepared for it, rain ponchos and umbrellas at the ready. The ship docked just south of the downtown area, just far enough that you had to take a shuttle from the ship to get to downtown. Our activities for this day included a stop at the Botanical Gardens …
Shortly after hearing the all clear from the Captain, we boarded a bus for our first shore excursion, Liarsville Goldrush. This felt like a step back in time visiting a camp from the Alaska gold rush era. We toured the camp, watched an entertaining puppet show about the gold rush, then panned for gold. You are …
I would cruise to Alaska again just for this experience of cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord. This was our first up close glimpse of Alaska and the first time I’ve seen icebergs up close. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves….

Since we had never been to Seattle we arrived a day early and stayed at the Maxwell Hotel near the Space Needle. Here’s my review on TripAdvisor. I will definitely …

We recently returned home from a Disney cruise to Alaska. It was wonderful. It seemed like land was visible during most of our daylight sailing hours and most of it was so pristine. I’m so glad we went. I was reluctant at first. Alaska was one of those must see places on my bucket list, …
As I mentioned in my previous post, Disney has really outdone themselves with this new resort. When we visited the resort recently thought the Cars section of the resort looked really fun and we hadn’t even seen the movie yet. How can I call myself a Disney fan!?! Our experience at the resort compelled us to …
I had the opportunity to visit Disney’s new resort last week. Disney has outdone themselves again. The attention to detail at the Art of Animation Resort is impressive. You feel like you’re part of the story. The resort is located on one side of Hourglass Lake and consists of one main building that houses reception, …
