Canada & Alaska

I love the beauty that one experiences while visiting Alaska and the Canadian Rockies. Alaska is a great place to start to see wildlife and spectacular scenery. There are times of the year that are just right to visit Alaska and I look forward to discussing those options with you for the best vacation! A few of my favorite experiences in Alaska include:        

• Visiting the Native Alaska Heritage Center in Anchorage. The hands on experiences along with the dancing demonstrations really helped me learn so much about Alaska & it’s people and in a fun way.


• Halibut fishing takes a little more strength than I expected. There is a five pound weight on your line because they feed on the ocean floor. The reward was having the owners of the B & B in Homer cook it for us the next morning for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious!


• A humpback whale swam beside our fishing boat that was probably longer than 50 feet. What a breathtaking experience to be that close to the giant creatures.


• Viewing the Glaciers up close and then hearing a thunder sound as they calved was spectacular.

While some add on the Canadian Rockies to an Alaskan cruise, I highly recommend a separate trip to fully experience the majestic Canadian Rockies. My personal favorite experience was onboard Rocky Mountaineer, the luxury rail-tour company that travels through British Colombia and Alberta. The glass-domed rail coach allowed me to see more wildlife than I have ever before! The company offers two levels of service onboard and I look forward to working with you to find the right fit for your travels. A few of my favorite highlights while on the Rocky Mountaineer:

• The Goldleaf service on Rocky Mountaineer exceeded my expectations with gourmet cuisine & beverages, bi-level glass-dome coach for viewing, exclusive dining room, four hosts with full culinary team and a large outdoor viewing platform for those perfect photos.


• I have never seen such enormous Osprey nests perched on top of the electrical poles along the railroad tracks.


• Vancouver is a city that has it all. From beautiful beach walks to award-winning restaurants, it’s suburban, urban-and a natural beauty. Stanley Park is the soul of the city.


• The town of Banff was on the top of my list of favorites. It sits inside of Banff National Park and is so picturesque. The rugged mountains and lush parks were the perfect backdrop for my postcard photos.
