Alaska Bound

Tuesday, June 22, 2011

This afternoon we drove down to the LAX Hilton to spend the evening before catching our morning flight to Vancouver, Canada. We will leave the car at the Hilton on a Park 'N Fly package.

Caught our morning flight to Vancouver, cleared customes and took a taxi to a nearby Hampton Inn. After a simple dinner we retired for the night. In the morning, our cruise package, provides us with shuttle service to the dock. We no longer have the stamina to drive, fly, and rush to another ddestination all in the same day. We are much more relaxed with this method. Tomorrow we board the Radience of the Sea for a 7-day cruise to Seward, Alaska.

After a good night's sleep, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, packed up and made our way to the shuttle area. The shuttle was right on time and the 30 minute drive to the port was uneventful. We only waited in line for forty-five minutes before the security gates were opened for boarding. Processing through security only took a few minutes and soon we found ourselves at our suite. Unpacking was a brief affair, after which we headed out to explore the ship. You can view our accomodations and photos we took while in port in the slideshow below.
