Two weeks from today we leave for Vancouver. It is late in the Alaska season, we know that and the weather can be iffy, but this is our sixth Alaska cruise and we have gone early, mid summer and late. We know we actually like the later times, less crowds and more wildlife. Plus it was over 100 degrees here today and we still have really hot weather well into Sept so cool and wet sounds pretty good.
We will spend twelve days camping and working our way to Vancouver. The plan is to visit several National Parks, the Oregon coast and the Columbia River Gorge along the way. Then we will have four days to explore the Vancouver area before the Sojourn sails from Canada Place on September 21 at 5PM.
After twelve wonderful days on the beautiful ship we will head to Penticton, British Columbia for a couple of days and pick up our fresh supply of Tiger Blue! Then depending on the weather, the plan is to drive the TransCanada Highway 1 through Banff on to the Great Lakes. From there we will drop down through the US heartland to home. If the weather is good this will probably be another 14 days of camping.
I have my menus made, some main dishes fixed and frozen and the grocery list done, just need to get the food and load it. We will pack a bag for each of us for the ship and store it in the trailer storage area. Our camping clothes stay in the trailer so that is taken care of. These next two weeks will go by fast just doing all the things needed for a trip of six plus weeks.
Stay tuned. As campground and ship internet service allows, we will post our daily periences along with some pictures.
