You will probably be sick of me by the time I am finally finished blogging about our trip to Alaska.
I have come to the conclusion that it should be a mandatory trip for every American.
Alaska is breathtaking!
I am sure it will be considered one of our favorite vacations.
We are so blessed and thankful to have been given the opportunity.
We learned so much about the state, the flora and the wildlife.
It was a bucket list experience.
Cruising wasn't on my list but

We learned so much about the state, the flora and the wildlife.
It was a bucket list experience.
Cruising wasn't on my list but
I will confess that I used to watch The Love Boat.
Those early impressions were indelibly printed on my memory.
I fully expected there to be scads of people lined up waving goodbye to loved ones.
There were a few.
I realized that I needed to set my Love Boat inspired notions aside until we found this in our room.
We all celebrated as we set sail.
There is an aspect of this trip that gives impetus to other bucket list experiences.
Most of us had the feeling that we had to do as much as we could fit in.
A huge thrill was riding on a float plane at our first stop in Ketchikan.
The day was foggy, cold and rainy. It was exactly the kind of weather I imagined.
We landed on a lake and stepped out onto the floats.
This picture taken of my husband sums it all up.
I think I may be moving to Alaska!
Magical and Beautiful!
We also took a helicopter up to the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.
I have always wanted to ride in a helicopter.
It was fun, scary and exhilarating.
I was thrilled I didn't lose my lunch!
We spent about a half an hour looking around.
and taking pictures.
We also took a train up into the mountains.
It's something I have wanted to do since I watched Jillian's season of The Bachlorette!
I don't really care for heights.
I don't really care for risk.
I am very afraid of scenic overlooks and mountain passes.
Absolute panic attack-afraid.
For some reason these fears were never factored into whether I would do these excursions because we were in Alaska!
They were part of the bucket list.
I've gotten some major stuff crossed off so I guess I need to add a few more things to it.
Zip lining through a rainforest?
I hope so.
What's on your bucket list?
