Travel Tip Tuesday! ✈️

Traveling with a companion? Don't pack all of one person's belongings in a single suitcase.

Instead, divide your clothing and essentials between both checked bags. That way, if one suitcase is delayed or misplaced, you'll each have enough to enjoy your vacation while the airline gets your luggage to you.

It's a simple packing hack that can save a lot of stress—and help keep your vacation on track!

Travel Tip ✈️
Need local currency? Skip the airport exchange counters.
You’ll usually get the best rate by using an ATM at your destination—just be sure to choose to be charged in the local currency, not USD!

✈️ A smooth trip doesn't start at the airport—it starts with good planning.

Taking just a few minutes to prepare before you travel can save you hours of stress later. Double-check your travel documents, confirm your flights, review your itinerary, and make sure you've packed the essentials. A little planning goes a long way toward making your vacation as relaxing as possible.

Now we'd love to hear from you...

Day 10 - Finally heading home!
We watched a ton of people out salmon fishing and visited the Ulu Factory before having to leave for the airport. We had such an amazing trip and folks are right - Princess is the WAY TO GO for an Alaskan cruise. Getting on and off the ship was so smooth and efficient, both during the port days and for the embark/disembark. We got on and off twice in Juneau since it was a 12 hour port day.
When you’re ready to book your Alaska cruise - I would love to help!

Day 9 - Whittier/Anchorage
✔️ Disembark - such a smooth process!
✔️ Wildlife Conservatory Shuttle - moose, bison, bears, porcupines, reindeer… oh my!
✔️ Chugac National Park
✔️ 49th State Brewing - another spot with AWESOME gluten free options
✔️ Trolley City tour
We learned SO much from our tour guides today. I could tell you all about boretides, salmon fishing, the number of pilots and seaplanes, and a HUGE earthquake that shattered the entire area in 1964. We planned to spend an extra night in Anchorage so we opted out of the cruise ship transfers to take a wildlife tour on the way to Anchorage instead - it’s about 60-90 mins from where the ships dock in Whittier to Anchorage.

✔️ Looking for bears, moose, etc.
✔️ Ice calving (huge ice chunks falling off of the glacier into the water)
