Lovely video! I like your background music and I'm not a music person. This is just relaxing.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks!

[@carolinezook]

I was so excited to see this. As a child I lived at Ft. Richardson, Alaska where my father was stationed. We took a trip to Whittier and I’ve never forgotten it. There is a huge abandoned building there, the Buckner Building. I’m sure you saw it although I didn’t see it in the video. That building contained the entire army post. We stayed there in the guest house.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Yes, we did see it, the cruise guide pointed it out, but we weren't in a position to film it when he did.

[@jenniferl.jonesmaom7347]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the views. I am getting the urge to travel again.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks you!

This is what I want to see one day, MOUNTAINS, just like this! Thanks again.

Beautiful footage and your voice over was perfection 💗🌲🐻🦦🦝

Thanks so much!

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, I can't wait to watch this later! Maybe it will help me feel a little cooler. It's sweltering/humid in Chicago. Blech!

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks! Last time we were in Chicago it was so cold! and that was just a few months ago!

Perfect timing! I am in the process of booking a trip to Anchorage for my daughter's graduation present next summer! She mentioned glaciers and seals and bears, 1 out of the 3 will be fine! Thanks for the great video and ideas!

Great timing! Thanks for the preview. We’ve finally booked an Alaskan cruise this September from Whittier to Vancouver. We’ll be arriving in Anchorage a couple of days before to spend some time there as well as in Vancouver. So looking forward to all of those majestic views and wildlife. We will be doing the train as in excursion. Can’t wait!

Hope you enjoy it! Have a great trip!

Another awesome video....great work!! Alaska has to be the most beautiful place!! Hey, I have an idea for a trip for you....take a train across Canada! Canadian Pacific is the railroad you would take. Just a though.

18:55 the best part of the corn dog is that crunchy nub between the corndog and the stick.

That indeed is the best part!

I booked this for this summer! Going with my daughter and a friend and her daughter. Also doing the train to Fairbanks and then a river cruise in FB. Very excited, thinking of getting a decent camera instead of using phone camera.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Many worthwhile picture opportunities in this trip!

[@yvettenj]

Didn’t see the Orca, have to watch again. Maybe somebody can point out a timestamp when it appears. Beautiful snow capped mountains/glaciers very beautiful and relaxing trip.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

It is pretty hard to see, as it didn't jump out of the water or anything, just sticking up out of the water slightly

[@yvettenj]

@@GroundedLifeTravel Hey I just had one more question. Just saw ur video on traveling coach. I’m taking a weekend trip next month, only a few hours and you said to buy coach tickets ahead of time. It’s been many years since I’ve taken Amtrak, can I just buy it at the ticket window and be able to get a seat like I used to? Or have things changed that much Lol 😆. I’m thinking it shouldn’t be too crowded, going from NJ to CT on Friday morning.

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

@@yvettenj Coach you should be able to get a seat at the ticket window most of the time unless sold out. Remeber Coach tickets do not let you eat at the dinning Car but you can pay for food in the Cafe Car with Credit Cards only. Or you can bring food and non-alchoic beverage to drink in the Coach car but at your seat not at the Cafe.

[@yvettenj]

@@chrisdobrowolski2783 Thanks that’s what I was thinking 😉

[@ganapatihegde1024]

[@salliestewart4713]

Great video!!

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks

[@terrybc7004]

Just gave you guys another 👍for another great video of yours. As I mentioned to you guys before in 1 of your other videos try riding our VIA Rail "The Canadian" from Vancouver - Toronto or vice versa. Also make sure you take in the Rocky Mountaineer between Vancouver -Banff also. Thanks again for your hard work & keep up the great work! If you guys make it up to Vancouver I'd be glad to meet you & show you around Vancouver.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thank you! It is at the top of our list to make it to Canada! We've never been on any trains there, so it is a big thing we want to do.

[@Annabella_LV]

This particular train ride looks like a lot of rocking back and forth. Would you say most of your train rides tend to have a lot of motion? I get motion sickness and I’m not sure if the journey would be fun or make me pretty queasy.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Allie gets motion sickness pretty bad, but never on a train unless she is facing backwards

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. We're heading to Anchorage this summer. Can you share your Alaska itinerary please? Thanks

You can book it through the railroad with your train tickets

[@shizzle7642]

Hey found your channel and it’s been so informative and interesting!! Question: I’m considering taking Amtrak (instead of flying route) for first time to see my son. It’s only a 3hr trip however, only travel time is to depart at 9pm arrive at 12am. I will also bring along my terrier along and with the choices of coach or roomette, do you feel it’s worth having that privacy etc for those 3 hrs? Any tips for bringing my pet? Any specific video you’d recommend for a short hop and general info too would be great! Hopefully it’s less stressful than the airport scene these days!! Thanks much💛

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

They don't allow pets in the rooms, only coach, so that should make the decision for you. You'd also need to get a pet ticket for your pet when you book. 3 hours in coach should be fine!

WOW! After our recent trip on the Amtrak Coast Starlight I think you've just given me a great idea for our next trip. Thanks! Btw, when did y'all do this trip? Judging from the clouds, the snow, but yet the clear harbor I'm guessing it was late May early June?

[@GroundedLifeTravel]
