Back home

The trip home took a while. But it was worth it. our trip had take 14 days and a combination of all modes of transportation except train. The primary reason for the trip had been to visit my son, David, in Homer Alaska. it is said that the farthermost west you can co on a US highway is Homer. We flew to Seattle and then to Anchorage. We rented a car in there and began discovery of the biggest state by car. We traveled south of Anchorage stopping along the way to see the sites. The highway followed the shoreline of Cook's Inlet. The rain drizzled which was became an everyday occurrence. We visited David and Aimee in Homer and the quaint little town of Talkeetna. The TV series Northern Exposure was based on this little town. we visited the Point Lodge on Lake Louise, AK. Claudette's brother had build the lodge back in the 80's. We did some paddling there and enjoyed our stay. We met the cruise ship Spirit in Whittier. it was my first time on a cruise ship. The ship stopped in Sitka, Juneau, Skagway, and Katchecan. In Katchecan we took a boat tour into the Mystic Fjords. We transferred to a floatplane for the trip out of the fjords. We had a great time.
