Beating the Heat!



It's the "dog days of summer" here in Florida.  The daily highs are around 90 and the humidity hovers around 90 percent.  Weather wise it is not the best time of year in Florida.
It's about time to pack the bag and start the next adventure.  Saturday morning we will head out with our destination being Alaska.  This will actually be the fourth or fifth year in a row that we've headed up that direction.  It's beautiful and big, with so much to see and do...…………. it's cool and cooler!
We'll be flying from Tampa to Vancouver by way of Denver and Seattle.  So Saturday is nothing but a travel day.  We'll spend two nights in Vancouver, which is one of our favorite cities, before getting on the Norwegian Jewel for a seven night cruise that ends in Seward, Alaska.  We hop off the cruise and will be spending time in Girdwood, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali National Park before heading back to Seward on September 10 for a seven night cruise back to Vancouver.
Once the Alaska adventure is over we'll fly from Vancouver to San Francisco to spend a few days with Sarah, Joey and Sweet Baby James.  We'll be flying back to Florida around the 22nd of September...……..just in time for the peak of hurricane season and NaNa’s 90th birthday!
I look forward to sharing the twists, turns and tips of this adventure in the blog.
