For anyone who doesn't know, my whole immediate family and I are packing up and taking a seven day cruise to Alaska. I'm going to use this here thingy to try and keep everyone entertained and updated while we travel. I'll even try to post photos. Like the one above.
Sooo...between July 29, 2006 and August 5, 2006 we will travel from port in Vancouver to Tracy Arm and Juneau, then Skagway, then Glacier Bay, then Ketchikan, than back to Vancouver.

While I'm in Juneau I've arranged a helicopter flyout to a glacier. Then I get to walk around on the top.

In Skagway, my brother and I will be taking a Jeep Wrangler for a 5 Hour, 140 Mile trip through the Yukon. We will by traveling through areas with such colorful names as: Pitchfork Falls, Moore Bridge, Dead Horse Gulch, Bracket Wagon Trail, and Tormented Valley, as well as the headwaters of the Yukon River.

And while we are in Ketchikan, we are going to see the Misty Fjords by small boat and then by floatplane.

It should be a spectacular event. Look for more details as things progress.
