In just over three hours we will be departing Houston and headed for Fairbanks, Alaska for a 11 day vacation. We've been wanting to do this for thirty years and now we're actually doing it.
We will be meeting others in Seattle for the flight on up to Fairbanks. Judy's sister, Joyce, and husband, Allen, along with some of their friends from New Orleans and our tour guide will be in the group.
We will have dinner in Fairbanks and then a bus ride to our lodge near the entrance of Denali National Park.
Early Thursday the adventure really begins as we board a bus that will take us deep into Denali National Park and fairly close to Mt. McKinley, the highest peak in North America. Judy and I will be returning to the lodge by small airplane that will take us up and around Mt. McKinley so that we can see it up close. Opportunity of a lifetime and we didn't want to miss it.
From there, we travel by train to Anchorage and then on to our ship, the Diamond Princess, for the inside passage cruise with lots of stops before arriving in Vancouver. By then we will be ready to head for home.
I have enough camera gear to make a Hollywood type movie so there should be plenty of pictures and videos later on. So stay tuned.
The adventure begins...

I wouldn't tell anyone I was on vacation you may come back and find your coup gone. By the way it will fit nicely on my trailor. OH NO! I just emailed your site to my wife, before reading this. She's been wanting me to take here to Alaska for 33yrs, now I'm going to hear about this when I get home! UGH
