Three weeks from today we will be on the road to Vancouver! I can't believe the cruise is so close already. We've been frantically throwing together the details of the cruise (if you remember we originally were scheduled for August). Let's do a quick recap!
We'll be traveling with our favorite travel companions Lauren and Patrick. This is the 4th year in a row we've traveled somewhere with them and 3 of the 4 times have been at Disney!
We are super lucky that we have friends who not only love Disney as much as we do but are amazing travel companions! Lauren and Patrick moved out to Seattle a few years ago and we miss them a lot! This trip was perfect as the Disney Wonder sets sail from their backyard!

Alaska is a destination we've all had on our bucket list before our families grow anymore. This is a trip we have decided to leave Kennedy back home for and just have an adults only vacation. It's been a unique trip to plan as we are used to traveling to Florida!!
Here is our itinerary for the trip:
Day 1- Depart for Seattle. Lauren and Patrick are returning from another trip so we'll have the day to ourselves and are lucky enough to meet up with another Mousekeagent!
Day 3- Leave bright and early for Vancouver!! It will take us about 3 hour and we'll have to park the car for the week ( http://www.vinciparkcanadaplace.ca/ ). We've already completed online check-in and our Port Arrival time is Noon. We'll aim to be there before that so that we are ready to board as soon as possible!
Day 4- At Sea..these day are among our favorites! We are exited to relax, nap, eat, play bingo and many other ship activities! Tonight is also Formal night!
Day 5-Tracy Arm. We are SO excited for this day. I know the pictures just don't do it justice. This is another Sea Day not a port but it's not an area of the Northwest that all cruise ships explore.
Day 6-Skagway. We plan on doing a little exploring and possibly hiking in the Klondike Gold Rush National Park! http://www.nps.gov/klgo/planyourvisit/shorterdayhikes.htm
Day 7-Juneau. Today we are going Whale Watching. We are using a local company and I'll be writing another post soon about excursions.
Day 8-Ketchikan. We don't get in until after 11 a.m. and we have no specific plans except to explore a little.
Day 9- One more day at Sea before returning back to Vancouver. I like that we have one more "down" day before heading home.
Day 10- Return back to Vancouver. We are taking the red eye home that night so we'll have the whole day to explore!
Over the next few weeks I'll have some more specific posts about planning, packing and what to expect on an Alaskan cruise.
Of course once we return home we'll not only have some amazing photos from Lauren Kennedy Photography but also hoping to have a few video blogs from Patrick and Eric (which will prove to be very interesting!)
