Jet Lagged

We arrived home Thursday morning from our holiday to Vancouver and our Alaskan cruise. 3 nights in Vancouver, then on the cruise ship for 7 nights which was lovely and relaxing. The ship sailed very close to the glacier in Glacier Bay which was amazing we could see parts of the glacier sliding in to the water as we watched. Back to Vancouver for 2 nights. Then on the Rocky Mou





ntaineer train to Kamploops for an overnight stay in an hotel and then back on the train where we saw Bald eagles on their nests high up on the telegraph poles, plus Ospreys on their nests (we have Ospreys in the highlands)a Coyete trotting across a field, Moose,I missed the bear :-(
Whenever anything was spotted out the windows we had to shout what it was, by the time I got to that side of the window we had passed it. We were disappointed in the Rocky trip, ok they looked after us great on the train and it was very well organised but the part where we had to keep stopping to let a goods train pass with 300+ wagons was frustrating, we were on the train far too long, the views were lovely but the same as Scotland in the Highlands. But we have done it so will always remember the long long long train journey. Off the train in Galgary where we stayed for one night before flying home.

  3. Wow! What stunning scenery! Was this the trip you mentioned, for your anniversary? I am going on a vague memory that you had a special anniversary coming up but it was some time ago you mentioned it.
