We have wanted to visit Alaska for sometime and only recently decided to make the trip in celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary. Sounds like a good reason for a celebration!
Less than two years ago, Horizon Airline began serving Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz Municipal Airport. This proved to be lucky for us because we can catch a direct flight out of Santa Rosa to Seattle, WA where our cruise aboard the Star Princess begins on June 7th.
We've taken two previous cruises (both out of Long Beach to Santa Catalina, San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico) and enjoyed both, but this will be a cruise on a much grander scale. Our first cruiseliners had a passenger capacity of less than 750. The Star Princess has room for 5,000 passengers. Wow!
We've carefully studied ports of call and land cruise options and of course chose land cruises with a culinary bent. How does a wild salmon feast on the Mendenhall glacier sound? We also couldn't resist a vist to the musher's camp and kennel where husky puppies are raised and trained to compete in the legendary Iditarod.
We've also been taking private dance lessons for the past three months so we can dance under the dusky skies of an Alaskan summer!
