Here we go, July is all set

Today we have completed all planning and now have a confirmed itinerary for our July trip to Alaska.  We will fly from St. Louis to Fairbanks on Saturday July 14, 2012.  While in Fairbanks we have a couple of local excursions planned plus a 3 day round trip up across the arctic circle to the Prudhoe Bay oilfields and back.  Then we board the train to Denali National Park where we have an all day guided bus trip into the park.  Then it's back on the train to Anchorage where we have a flight-seeing trip planned to see bears plus a visit to the Alaska Native Heritage Center.  Then it's back on the train down to Seward for an all day cruise in the Kenai Fjords National Park before a bus trip back to Anchorage and the flight back to St. Louis on Saturday July 28, 2012.

Over 10 years ago, our brief visit to Alaska combined with a seven day cruise from Seward to Vancouver, BC just gave us a taste of this beautiful State and we have very much wanted to get back for more.  I know that this is plenty early to be finalizing these plans but at this time all of our desired excursions are wide open and we have selected the timing of "our choice" instead of having to take what was left to pick from.  We fully expect that this trip will provide us with many great photo opportunities and promise to post for all to enjoy.
