My Remodeled Life
Survival Guide: Making the most out of chaos
Monday, May 16, 2005
And of course, this one.
Hard to say - what I will remember most about this trip. This is one of my favorite views.
Anchorage airport - and time to say goodbye to Alaska as I begin the long journey home.
About a hour and one-half - the trip to Anchorage goes by really fast.
The 'new' road runs right along the waterway.
A very pleasant drive - all the way to Anchorage.
Exiting Whitter to Anchorage is not easy - this is a one way tunnel - shared by cars and a train. Each taking turns !
And some interesting things to enjoy - that you just don't get at home in Texas.
We have fun sailing her.
A pretty ship - well, for a ship.
Before saying goodbye - here are few enjoyable pictures of the Island Princess. A 15 story vessel - small by some terms but plenty big for me.
The break off ice makes so much noise - it is like alka seltzer in the water - fizzing away.
Plenty of iceburgs for seals and sea otters to ride on.
Burrrr!
These glaciers are very active - dropping lots of ice into the waters.
College Fjord - home to numerous tidewater glaciers named after US ivy league schools - Vassar, Smith, Harvard and Yale to name a few.
These walls are over 250 feet tall.
The Park's tidewater glaciers are beautiful.
Glacier Bay National Park - as the world turns dark and cold!
And another
More
A few enjoyable pictures from the railroad trip.
Next - off on the White Pass railroad to return to Skayway.
And yet another.
Some fun photos of native live in the Yukon.
