Combining work and global travel can be absolutely fantastic but not all destinations are sweet. My last job had been in a small African country where life was rather cruel - for most. A thousand people suffered cholera and a hundred died by it from drinking the water or eating the fruit grown…

I awoke at 5:00 a.m. this morning as we finished cruising into port. We had changed our clocks late last night to the Alaskan time, one hour back. As they brought the ship to the dock at 6:30 am I woke my wife and we dressed and headed to breakfast. The weather today was worse tha…

With about twenty aircraft this year, the company that I work for has gotten a little too big for my liking. Its growing pains shudder like an out-of-balance tailrotor from corporate headquarters to the pilots and mechanics at the remote field sites. Smaller companies operating four or fiv…

I would give myself a B minus for a final grade in my Salmon Fishing 101 Class….just because I need to learn a lot about the ocean tides, and thereby not waste my time fishing when the tides go out. But, overall, my trip to Alaska was not too bad for a Minnesota guy who had no clue how to fish sa…

As I figured, when the alarm went off, I wanted to chuck it out the window. Uuuuuugh. But I had to get up and moving because this was the day I was most excited about - the cruise through a fjord, see glaciers, icebergs, and wildlife! I hopped out of bed, got rea…

Reindeers???????? My eyes popped out!!! Real Live REINDEERS??? The
guide laughed at my apparant shock, and led me to a little shed like
place at the back of the office.. And what do I see there? Two
reindeers... merrily resting.. I was stunned! And then the guide told
me that they were going to…

I’m not sure how to write about days at sea so some of the pictures here will be from yesterday.
Today we are in Ketchikan. It’s raining, but we are going to go ashore anyway. We have an umbrella and our windbreakers to help keep us dry. (Boy did they not work!!) …

Leigh and I were now on our own in the most awe-inspiring place in the world ~ Alaska. After a hearty breakfast at one of Anchorage's small family-owned diners, I turned our rental SUV south towards the Kenai Penisula. We were now riding along the Seward Highway, following t…

Well earlier this past week for three days it got down to below 40 degrees F. Sure makes 10 below feel warm these days. Seems that 40 below is a cut off for thing to start acting wacking. My 'check engine' light went on for no apparent reason, cause I checked and it's still there.…

We were at sea the next day also and met a couple from Montreal and 2 ladies from Florida. Coming back from breakfast, we were on an elevator with a couple and a woman (not with them) when the woman put her hand on her mouth and started gagging. Oh NO! Well Bernie being the nice person she is, gave…

We spent our first night at "A Wildflower Inn" B&B. On Saturday, Erin and I got up before dawn, and then walked into town. We could hear the sound of excited dogs for several minutes as we approached the staging area. The canine athletes were as varied in their demea…

I set the alarm for 7:00 but woke up at 6:30 to find the ship docked at Ketchican. We again had breakfast in the Horizon Court and walked in town for about 1/2 hour. Because we'd booked a trip that involved a flight, I'd felt bad when we got up because of the low clouds. The locals in Ketchican tho…

Juneau, Alaska, USA -› -› …
Juneau was breathtaking this evening, in more ways than one! The temp outside was 23F but felt way colder, so that's what I meant by breathtaking... walking to my car the cold air stung my throat. Freezing cold, but beautiful! It's hard to capture it with my camera, it doesn't take night …

Well, looks pretty much like I missed summer with my camera. Too busy with work. But hey, winter is more fun, everyone loves to take pics of the summer in Alaska. Here are a few shots from a little road trip I took a friend on. sc
