Great waterproof gear (women's)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Just thought I would pass this along for any women looking for waterproof gear for Alaska. My wife picked up this set, and it's great. Packs into itself and is totally waterproof. It is unlined, just a shell which makes it great for layering.

 

Sorry to sound like a commercial, but it's a great deal and since I got a lot of good tips from this board, i figured I would pass this one along... (no, I'm not making any profits )

The rain gear is great.... for men's rain gear I purchased a Columbia Storm Catcher jacket and ThunderScout pants. For good prices try a search at froogle.google.com A good way to shop. You can check the store you purchase from at http://www.resellerratings.com Dont' get ripped off! As far as binoculars go, we are taking a pair of 10x50 Bushnell and a compact pair of 8x21 Bushnell as well. Check out opticplanet.com they are pretty good for prices and info. I'll have my eyes behind a camera most of the time, but if you are using bino's a lot, you can pick up a pair of zoom binoculars 7-21x50 for example which would be perfect for Alaska. Another in our group is taking them along. Good luck!

This list is great.... DH & I (well mostly me) are in the very early planning stages of an Alaskan cruise, either 06 or 07! Thanks!

Looks like you will REALLY need to excape the Arizona heat to the Cool of Alaska! You get to follow me by a couple of days!

 

Thanks for all the info and web sites! It's great when we all help each other have GREAT CRUISES!

 

I'll be looking for your trip report! Be looking for mine too!

 

Have a GREAT time on the Regal to Alaska!

 

Jacquelyn :D

Sweetpea and Jacqu, Glad you could use this info... And yes we are ready to get out of 115 degree temps.... We leave tomorrow morning for our pre-stay!

[booth22]

Just back from our trip and wanted to say thanks to everyone on the board for all their help!

[Orange Blossom]

Thank you for the wonderful cheat sheet. I am leaving for San Francisco in 1 hour :D and I just printed it. I will be on the Regal tomorrow and will give feedback when I come home. This board has been great and full of information.

You're welcome and I hope you enjoyed your trip!

[Love Cruis'n]

I seen a lot of questions of late that can be answered here, so I thougth I'd give it a push.

Really, this should be a "Sticky"

[suron]

booth22 you are a lifesaver! I have printed out your fantastic list and will enjoy going through all the links in order to plan our Alaska trip which begins on May 27th 06 from Seattle on Dawn Princess. You wouldn't by any chance have a similar list for a tour of the Rockies - we are taking the Land Tour prior to embarking on Dawn??!!

 

Many thanks for taking the trouble to help myself and all the others who have visited the thread.

 

Regards from Suron in Bristol, England. :) :)

[booth22]

Glad you guys could use the list, and no I don't have one for the rockies.... I've got one in the works for Tahiti and other islands.... Cheers, booth

[JillyBeanCruiser]

Thanks, I am going to use your cheet sheet to research for our B2B next year.

[seattlelover]

Wow! So much info - thanks very much! A lot of browsing coming up I think.

[GreenValleyDogWalker]

Thanks for taking the time to post this ! - Just in the planning stages for Alaska cruise -some time in 2007 !!! - This helps a whole bunch !

[hogwildcruzers]

Thanks for a great post, it will be very helpful planning our 5/19/06 cruise, was there couple of years ago but did not know near as much as I do now. Again, THANKS

[Cruisechick82]

Thanks for all the links. I looked at your photos too, they are great! I just wish time would go by a little faster......

[booth22]

you're all very welcome, if you have any specific questions I'll do my best to answer them ... feel free to email me przeor@yahoo.com put the subject as alaska cruise so I don't assume it's spam. I never posted the rest of out pics either.... 2600+ total... i don't imagine we'll ever get them all developed either :D

Booth22: Obviously you have seen what a great help your cheat sheet has been to many people. We have just decided to change our summer caribbean cruise to an Alaskan cruise. What a gem we found when we came across your cheat sheet.

 

It seems like you post fairly regularly, so, if you have the opportunity ... please continue to keep bumping your cheat sheet forward from time to time if others have not, it's a great resource!
