What an undertaking! You have some awesome plans, your massive research looks like it will pay off! What a deal on the rental car! Y'all have lots of fun and interesting things planned.

I like Alexa's choice for the Husky Homestead Tour. Hope y'all get some pics of the pups. Huskies are beautiful dogs.

Thanks for including all the links. Doubt we will be visiting Alaska anytime soon so I can't wait to read more and see pictures!!

Marnie you plans look amazing, and I cannot even imagine all the research and hours it took you to pull this all together. I love how much you are doing besides the cruise - I am so excited for all of you, I think there is something for everyone on this trip.

I was so excited to see that you were doing a TR for your Alaska trip Your plans sound awesome but somewhat overwhelming to me! I give you a lot of credit planning this trip by yourself It seems like you found some really good websites to help in the planning. I'm looking forward to reading your TR upon your return. Alaska is a trip my DH and I hope to do sometime in the future.

Marnie - your plans look amazing!! I went to Seward in 2009 when I was in AK for work (got to meet w/Jen too!!) and also hiked to Exit Glacier - here is some video from that hike.

YouTube - ‪exit glacier desktop‬‏

I want to plan a land/sea AK trip in the future - so I will be VERY interested in your TR!!

Holy smokes Marnie, you've done some serious planning for this trip, it's sure to be amazing!! I'm so excited to find your TR, I don't read too many, but I noticed your countdown and have been hoping you'd do a report! Alaska is on our bucket list too, so I can't wait to hear all about it as well as what you think of Radiance of the Seas. We sailed on a RC ship last year and loved it, however we've never been on a Disney cruise so I didn't have any comparison. Not much longer now, I hope you have the time of your life on the Trip of a Lifetime!!

Just discovered this TR (well, PTR as of right now!). Alaska has always been a dream of mine. My bio-dad (don't know him) was born in Alaska and is 100% Inuit, so I've always wanted to experience that aspect of my heritage.

Your plans sound amazing! I hope you have a great trip!
