on
November 17, 2023

I decided the Trolley Tour would be a good way to see Anchorage. They have two levels of tour. The $25 tour which just covers downtown. Then the $50 tour which takes you to earthquake park, the float plane airport, and airport park where you can see the city…

Alaska Jewel: Travel Day

on
November 13, 2023

Weeks ago I did seat upgrades on my return flights on Air Canada. Exit row with additional legroom. I never did pick seats on my Alaska flights to Anchorage. I was watching videos and a guy was showing how much legroom the standard Alaska seat has saying it’s one…

Alaska Jewel: Planning

on
November 10, 2023

I just went to Alaska last year with Carnival. That one was a roundtrip from Seattle. The ports were Tracy Arm Fjord, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Victoria. I loved all of the Alaska ports. Victoria really didn’t have a shot because almost the entire city was closed…

Good Morning! I am flying out of Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. My plan is to go eat breakfast, then pick up a sandwich from Katz to go for lunch. I just grabbed a coffee to go from the free breakfast area at the hotel.

I’m flying out tomorrow so I needed to straighten out my packing. I took care of that before heading out this morning. My hotel has a free breakfast but I bypassed it and just grabbed a coffee to go.

Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO

on
October 23, 2023

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was on my list the last time I was in New York. The issue has been I’ve wanted to time it right to be on the other side during sunset. I’ve heard DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is a great place to be…

Hamilton

on
October 20, 2023

I looked into attending Hamilton the last time I was in New York. It didn’t show any seats available so I picked different shows. It seems I just tried to book too early (six months out) because I checked back closer to my trip and there were plenty of…

Statue of Liberty Crown Tour

on
October 16, 2023

I’ve always wanted to go to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. It was extremely disappointing when I visited New York for the first time last year and the crown was closed due to COVID. I knew I would want to go to the crown on a future…
