Greetings
Below are you tube links for my two part video showing highlights of a land and sea adventure aboard the Diamond Princess. I put both videos together for fun but also to be able to show some of the things I looked for when planning and of course anticipating our Alaskan Trip. I hope you enjoy it. If I can be of any other help please ask.
PART ONE (Land on your own)- 13 minutes long and shows a bit of the mindblowingly wonderful stuff we saw while driving around Alaska for 5 days. Everything was arranged on our own. It includes;
Denali National Park
What you can see from the shuttle bus to the Eielson (sp?) visitors center in the park
The Hike to Matanuska Glacier
Bed and Breakfasts we stayed at- The Denali Lakeview inn near Denali National Park & Susitna Place in Anchorage (much better value than hotels!!!)
Hatcher Pass
Independence Gold Mine
Freestyle Gold Panning on the Susitna River
Mt. McKinley on a cloudless day
Some of what you’ll see driving on Parks Highway
Part one- Link

PART TWO (Cruise)- 5 minutes long and focuses mostly on what you'll see from a cruise ship (Diamond Princess in this instance) going southbound from Whittier to Vancouver. The video picks up again on the Alaskan Railroad's southbound Glacial Discovery train to the port of Whittier. It includes;
More of the train ride from anchorage to Whittier and more of Glacier Bay
Skagway
What you’ll see on a tour with the famous (or infamous-LOL) Dyea Dave
The White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Carcross
Port of Juneau
Whale watching from a small private “six pack” boat
Ketchikan
Ship life aboard Diamond Princess
Range of clothing
2 wonderful days in Vancouver/Victoria biking and just enjoying life
Part two video link

Enjoy!!!! I’ll be back to the cruise critic boards very shortly to plan my 2012 cruise!!
