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 …

Today Keith was working and the person I had lined up on Couchsurfing for some hopeful sightseeing sorta just disappeared on me which was odd as we had been emailing back and forth a few times prior to my arrival. Being the resourceful one I am, I checked out some more couchsurfing profiles a…

We were scheduled to arrive in Juneau at 8:30 a.m. but when I awoke at 7:00 a.m. we were already docked. I didn't get to watch as we came in, which disappointed me. I had so hoped to be able to watch as the ship neared the dock and tied up. And on top of that it was pouring rain. …

So, I think I am liking this Trav buddy thing...but it is hard to reminisce about trips that were so long ago. Therefore, I think I need to make a disclaimer that some of the facts in these journals may be a little overinflated or just pure fiction. That's a defense mechanism of mine.&n…

The weather turned very bad and from the time we got up in the morning on it was raining hard and the wind was howling. It was so bad that I think every on shore tour was cancelled. That meant we wouldn’t be going on the Whale watching tour or the short trip to Mendenhall Glacier.&nbs…

As the capital of Alaska, Juneau is a business city as well a tourist destination. There's a gondola that goes from one of the piers to a mountain top but, because visibility was limited and time short, we skipped it so I can't comment. There's lots of shopping and, while some are pretty tacky, the…

In June of 2005, I took a cruise on Royal Caribbean out of Vancouver through the inside passage up through the magical world that is Alaska...

Not only did Juneau become the capital of Alaska in 1906, the small remote inland city is steeped in culture and tradition offering even the remote tourist a free history lesson that they will never forget. Juneau is the only capital that has no roads in or out of the city (literally having end of …

Alaska's capital is accessible by either air or sea, not land. We obviously arrived by water. The ship's lifeboats doubled as ferries to the mainland. Our day in the capital was spent on water and land. The water part was whale-watching. I was very excited about the po…

was the punch line of a joke our morning guide, Ron told us on our way back from the Dog Sled Summer Camp. He was a funny, older man who seemed to love his job. I could see why, Juneau, a pretty, colorful city and the capital of Alaska is settled at the base of a mountain, conve…

Today Andrew and I are heading off on different tours. We had booked the same one but it was a landing on the icefields for 1 hour. I thought "why would I want to stand on an ice field for that long, so I cancelled mine and booked onto what I thought was just a flight over the icefield. I was happy…

I joined this guided tour due to the fact that I had never cold water kayaked. Bad mistake. I did not learn a thing about the aspects of cold water kayaking that could not have learned while simply kayaking myself. The best advantage of a guided tour is that it is all inclusive. They provide tents,…

Today was incredible!!!! Our first 'cruise' through a fjord, and it was wonderful. We went with Adventure Bound Travel and Captain Steve, who was great. The boat was 54 feet long or so with a back viewing deck and room on the bow as well.
The cruise left from the Juneau por…

I knew that the ONLY thing I wanted to do on this cruise, if nothing else, was to go dog sledding. It was very expensive, about $400, but my mom and I both thought, "When will we ever be in Alaska again and have an opportunity like this!?" It was an early morning excursion and it was st…
