Hey Mom!

It’s another busy day in Alaska.

Our driver today was Liv and she was by far our favorite. She was from Utah and had just completed her first year of her Masters Degree in Nutrition. She was an excellent tour guide and a lot of fun to talk to. The best smile ever.

Our first stop was the Goldrush Sled Dogs. This place was no joke. The owner had run the Iditarod 6 times. They showed us all the gear that they needed and were required to carry. Who knew Fritos would light a fire and actually stay lit?

Liv waited for us and when we were done with the sled dogs, we were off on an hour long journey up the mountain to the White Pass Summit.

We got to the top of the White pass Summit and got on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad at the 2,865-foot summit.

A short story…….while we were on the train, I got up to use the restroom. It was not a great restroom and it was imperative to use it and get out quickly. While in the restroom, the train went through a tunnel and while everyone on the train heard that it was going to be pitch black, the restroom did not have a speaker so while using this disgusting restroom, I also got to experience complete darkness while in the gross and disgusting restroom. My travel mates were amused.

The train ride ended in Skagway and we decided to walk around town and grab some lunch.

Back at the ship we had dinner and the show in the theater that night was “feel the funk.”

It was a great day!

Love and miss.
