On the Road - Out of Touch!

Filed under: Travel — susanstevenson @ 4:12 pm

This is the first time I’ve had the chance to update my blog while traveling. There hasn’t been much opportunity  - or time! - to update here, but there will be a lot to write when we get home and I go through the hundreds and hundreds of photos I’ve taken!

It has been an awesome vacation  - the best one of the summer! No rain (until today), sunshine, 60s, beautiful!!! Steve’s done some fishing, we’ve done some hiking, we’ve taken many scenic drives, we’ve explored every nook and cranny, and we’ve met some wonderful folks too.

We saw our share of bears too - and doing what they do best: fishing! What a great experience.

We’ve logged about 1100 miles so far, and taking the ferry from Haines to Skagway was definitely the way to go. It only took us an hour to make the trip, and saved us hundreds of miles, and many hours - allowing us more time to enjoy Skagway.

There will be quite a bit of information and photographs in upcoming entries, and I will have to break it down into several entries to make it more manageable.

Before I end this short entry, I want to give a shout out to Jack and Diane from CO, Bruce and Susan from SD, and Jenny and Jack from CA. I hope your time in AK/CAN has been as awesome as ours. Safe travels and stay in touch!

Until next time…
