Everyone should see it at least once. My dad took his 48 Hatt LRC there from Florida and back. A nice way to spend 18 months. RG |

His stories will scare you. He figures the entrance to hell is in that sea. Go out on a nice day and 2 hours later, be fighting 125 mph winds. Etc. |

Was sent off as a young wild man to fish with the other Italian relatives and to calm down some. |

If not, and it's a cruise, tell us more. What line, how do you like it, etc. -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking, even those made by liberals. |

What line, how do you like it, etc. We are aboard the cruise ship Island Princess, very nice but not quite the same as being on our own boat. It would be a *very* long trip to bring the GB up here from Florida however. We are very pleased with the trip so far. Princess did a great job with the land portion of the trip, starting in Fairbanks, AK with a number of excursions taking us south through and around Denali Park, ending up in Anchorage and Whittier where we linked up with the cruise ship. Glacier Bay certainly ranks as one of the high points so far, the other being our fly over of Mt McKinley in a small plane. Tomorrow we'll be in Skagway with a river excursion on a jet boat, Juneau the next day with a helicopter ride to a glacier landing, then Ketchikan with a float plane excursion inland. Another highlight of the trip was three days in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle that we arranged on our own with a little guidance from Chuck Gould. Chuck tipped us to a great place to stay called the Roche Harbor Resort which was really first class in every way. Internet service on the ship is 40 cents per minute so pictures will have to wait until later. |

The San Juans have many stopping points as idylic as Roche but it's certainly one of the bright spots if traveling by car. If you enjoyed the look and surroundings, I'd recommend chartering out of Anacortes someday and making a trek of your own. There's many, more remote destinations that are nourishment for the soul. It's a unique area. Chuck has visited and written about most if not all so he's an excellent source. |

It's always been fly to Seattle and take the cruise from there. I suppose one could see a lot more of Alaska for the same amount of money flying there first. Can't wait for the pictures. -- John H |
