I just took a Lyft from the airport to my Airbnb. This is the Leopold David House. It was the house of the first mayor of Anchorage. From what I’ve read it’s a law office now, but the stairs around the back lead to my Airbnb.

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…

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…

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…

At the time I booked my Lighthouse, Totems, & Eagles excursion, I already had Whales and Bears planned in Icy Strait Point and glaciers in Tracy Arm Fjord and Juneau. I know totems are a big deal in this area and I wanted to book something with a guarantee…

Good morning from the capitol of Alaska, Juneau! Whale watching is a very popular excursion here. I did my Whale Watching in Icy Strait Point specifically so I could free today up for Mendenhall Glacier. I’m doing Mendenhall at my own pace so I will be able to have…

I decided to do Mendenhall Glacier on my own. Most of the glacier excursions I read about had people complaining that they didn’t have enough time in the Glacier Center or they didn’t have enough time to walk down to the waterfall. I even read about some who got…
