Choosing Your West Coast Itinerary There is so much to see on the West coast of North America. Planning your exact West Coast itinerary will depend on the answers to the following questions: How long will your trip be? Where do you want to start the trip? How are you […]
Starting Our Cruise In Seattle Our Alaska cruise from Seattle in July was for 7 days. We considered flying between Toronto and Vancouver. It was a short hop between Vancouver and Seattle. But when we researched flight costs, it was much cheaper to fly into Seattle – even with the […]
