[new peeps]

You are going to love the North East. It was only cold when we got into Glacier Bay. We have been forunate enough to have been twice. I agee with Helene2008 while you are in Vancover take the ferry or fly to Victoria and go to Butchart Gardens. It is hard to beleive it was a portland cement quarry that the mans wife made into a incredible garden. It has to be the best restored quarry's in the world. There is a lot to see in Vancover one of my favorites was the Parlament House. In Juneau take the helicopter tour to the top of the glacier and walk around. It is something to see when you get up there and see fish. You can ask the guide the story so I do not spoil it. I will say I seen more eagles in one day in Kethican than anywhere else I have been. They look like golf balls in the evergreen trees but it is eagles white heads. In Skagway we took the train up through White Pass into Canada. If I remember correctly it was one of two trains still running in the North America with a 2 foot wide track. If you ride it you will see why. The landscape looks like you are on another planet up there with the small full grown trees. A Guide told us a lot of incredible history about the pass on the ride. We also rented a Jeep and drove to I believe White Horse and Emrald Lake. Beautiful waterfalls on the way inland from the coast. We went in July when the snow just started melting. We did see more whales from the cruise ship than we did on the whale tour. We only seen rain for 1/2 day out of 10. We even went snorkling in Kitchikan, we wore 7mm wet suites. If you decide to take a digital camera, I would take 3 times the amount of memory you will think you need as the scenery is just incredible. We will be down at the end of the month for a few days to close on our new house in Duval. If you would like we can arange to bring more information if you would like.
