Alaska update.

Sorry for the delay in posting our trip to Alaska.  Life has been a little crazy.

Our trip started off in Anchorage, Alaska.  We then got on the train to Whittier, Alaska.  Our first boat tour to the see glaciers was to begin here.  Then we spent the night in a cute little hotel and met some fun people in the bar.  After we had enough of that little bar we all decided to find another place to go hang out.  Only to realize the hotel bar was really the only place in town because the town only has about 14 people living there.

Glacier

The next morning we sailed on the Alaska Marine Ferry to Homer Alaska.  This part of the trip took us a day and half.  We had a cabin with bathroom and shower.  This was a great adventure.  

On the voyage we saw whales, which was the highlight of the trip for me (Lorraine )

This whale just kept waving at us.  I was in awe just seeing this beautiful creature so close to us as we sailed.  

We arrived in Homer Alaska and had a spa day then we were off to do some fishing. Our boat crew and fellow fishermen made the day extremely enjoyable.  Everyone caught their limit.

Next stop Soldotna and Seward Alaska.....We fished in Soldotna where it was over 90 degrees, yes 90 degrees in Alaska.  The hottest it's been in Alaska in about 200 years.  The heat was so intense Tom jumped into the 40 degree water to cool. off.  

We saw bears on this small boat trip.

These bears were amazing.  They each had 3 cubs following them.

The eagle was a great added bonus to the boat trip.    

After 11 days we met some great people, ate some terrific food and saw the most amazing landscape on this planet.  If you have not been to Alaska you must go.
