wish i would have known you 5 years ago when we went. we didn't fish though, but it would have been nice.

I was there .

How was it?

the cruise was not my favorite thing in the world, but it was ok. i didn't like being trapped on the boat for my first trip to AK.
i wanted to be off the boat exploring land.

I hear ya , after talking with all the people i dont think its for me either . Most of the guys that fish are just soooo happy to get off the cruise boat . That being said , looks like we are booked all summer 2 and 3 trips a day

great deals on cruises right now, so thats not too surprising.
we did it as a family reunion for everyone after my grandfather passed away, so it wasn't my choice. i think cruises are great probably for the right people. there was a casino and bars all over the place, a few nice restaurants and stuff, so if you're into that kind of thing, it would be great.
i did get to see part of the yukon which was cool, took a helicopter and landed on the mendenhall glacier and hiked around for a while, which was cool, so i can't complain too much.

We hit the glacier too, that was very cool. I was amazed how many jewelery stores there were at every stop, be prepared because the ladies hit every one of them.

I like to remind all the guys who are happy to be rid of there wives for a couple of hours that there are 52 jewelry stores in Juneau and there are 4 more stops

i was just looking at spirit lake's website where i went and don't see any sheep hunts or hunts of any kind there...do they do them?

Get them going against each other and you might get a pretty good deal.

Its not the lodge people its some of the horse guides that worked there the last few years. The contract changed hands and now the Carcross first nation handles the horses.

Were doing well Rougheye.......economy hasn't slowed down the Ivory/Jewelry sightseeing stuff at all.
