Our Alaska Cruise Journey Begins! Flying to Vancouver!

[@PatrickThreewit]

I never got a chance to take a cruise to Alaska, but I am 79 now and when I was 9, my parents and I flew on a Pan Am propeller plane to Annette Island from Seattle , We flew on an amphibian plane to Ketchikan, and then on a pontoon plane to Noyes Island where my dad would be working a fish-buying scow for the summer. I then returned on an Alaska steamship back to Seattle and finally by Washington State Ferry to our new piece of land on San Juan Island. And though I was able to name the 44-foot wooden boat that my much older brother had had built, I did not return to Alaska until I was 17 in 1962. Then our family drove the ALCAN to Seward where I got on the boat, the MV "Pat". Over the next 2 seasons I would see many places in Prince William Sound arriving home by plane. At the end of my 3rd year, though three of the crew were eager to return to sweethearts, I volunteered to go south with the Skipper, across the Gulf of Alaska and all the way down the Inside Passage to our home port, Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island. I would do this 4 times. The parts of Alaska I have seen were interesting but nothing like what one can see in Southeastern Alaska, a land of fjords, waterfalls, eagles, orcas close up, bears, Ice bergs really close, glaciers, and hot springs like Warm Spring Bay. If you can explore this region, it will probably be your favorite. Prince William Sound is also good, but not as good. I occasionally talk to former Alaskans who now live in my mountain area of Idaho, and several have told me "You were in Alaska when Alaska was Alaska. A compliment. I look forward to looking at your videos.

Cannot wait to see this cruise!!!! Trying to decide if I should do the viewer cruise, lots of our fave vloggers will be there.... So tempting

[@Mary_305]

Wow! It's so cool to see sunlight at 1:00 am. I'm glad you guys had a good time on your cruise 😊. Thanks for sharing

[@Sophie.H]

I love your travelling videos. I dont travel as much as i would like for financial reasons so your videos makes me happy :D

[@eriklang3767]

For love of the mouse said they were going on your viewer cruise, so we had to come check out the channel! Love you both, such nice people. Cannot wait to see your cruise

[@WinningThePoohbear]

So I fond y'all through the Zachman's Our Z Role vlog while researching or upcoming cruise to AK... I also attribute both of your channels for our decision to ask some close friends to join us on or cruise, even though it is technically or honeymoon

[@mandykay9928]

I met you guys during one of your excursions. Patiently waiting to see if y’all filmed that tour 😃

[@knotsofast240]

Great start. Now we need more!!

[@LeggLife]

Next video coming on Wednesday :)

[@MB_07]

Great video. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. Crazy Vancouver drivers eh.

[@Nadia-ql5yq]

I’m so happy for you guys! It is always nice to explore your state.

[@robertatkachuk2891]

Love your vlogs! Can’t wait to see them all. Definitely, can’t wait to see how Princess compares to Disney.

[@LeggLife]

It was definitely a different experience, but we had a great time!

[@davidlopez5829]

LOL.... I have been waiting for this video. I want to see your trip because I am going Vancouver 7/31. I want to see what you have done to see if I can copy any of you port activities. Cannot wait to watch this!

[@itschristmasliketheholiday453]

We stayed very close to where y’all stayed in Vancouver!! I think y’all may have been on the other side of the street, cuz the T&T was about a block down from our Air BnB. So crazy!!! We love that city, which is saying something cuz we don’t typically like cities. Lol

[@Halivan]

I used to live near The Eatery!

[@kathyromack9314]

I am so happy these have started! I am broadcasting you on our 60” tv in our bedroom 🤣

[@vickielopresti5767]

Last time , we were in Vancouver, we stayed across the Street from Canada Place! And walked over to our Ship! Saw many sites in Vancouver, before the cruise started. Its really a wonderful city! Thanks for t as king me back there! Can't wait, for your cruise vlogs! Vickie from SE Pa

[@suziequeue2]

I loved our Alaska cruise and staying at the port at the Pan Pacific❤️ we watched some ships sail away I woke up early and watched our ship arrive…I would highly suggest staying at the port, it’s beautiful!

[@darlenehynes855]

Can’t wait to watch these vlogs. We are cruising Alaska this summer d from Newfoundland 🇨🇦. I figure we might have the same weather

[@LeggLife]

Exciting! We hope you have an amazing cruise!

[@glendalongan5071]

FINALLY! The cruise vlogs!!! Loved seeing all the Insta/FB posts and enjoying each post but sure do like the videos!!! A M A Z I N G! Now for the rest of the cruise.......(patiently waiting... NOT!) 😊😉

[@LeggLife]

Haha! First cruise vlog will be out on Wednesday!

[@laurawinn9583]

I am so excited for all these vlogs!

[@lorietysor115]

I'm a diabetic and travel with my insulin and needles and never once thought about telling the TSA agent...good to know it's not a big deal

[@lisaanderson8235]

SQUEEEEE! Fun Times with friends! 😊❤️❤️👍👍 That avocado toast was amazing looking. I'm glad y'all took some snoozes. Smart! I've heard nothing but wonderful things about Vancouver and I'm so happy you had some time and energy to explore. 😊

[@LeggLife]

It was seriously the best avocado toast EVER!

[@clairesboyance5316]

Vancouver is one of my top 5 cities in the world.

[@LeggLife]

It's truly a wonderful place!

[@samanthahess6007]

I’ve been waiting on this!!! Cory and I just booked a Royal Caribbean cruise. We love Disney but 1/3 of the cost is nice!!

[@LeggLife]

The cost FOR SURE is a big draw! We would absolutely book princess (or another cruise line) again after experiencing our first non-Disney cruise line

[@samanthahess6007]

@@LeggLife come do Odyssey if the sea in March with us.

[@nicolef3954]

So exciting! Awesome to be traveling with your friends!

[@LeggLife]

Having them there made the entire experience so much more amazing :)

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Love your videos! Can’t wait for your Alaska’s journey!

[@peggyschmidt7715]

Get some good rest and can't wait for the next part of your adventure ❤👍🙏 . Take care and stay safe.

[@LeggLife]

Thank you :)

[@diannegerspacher4889]

Thanks for sharing...excited for the next vlog! Blessings to you both 🙏

[@LeggLife]

So excited to share the day 1 cruise vlog with you on Wednesday!

[@nitabackes9670]

Fabulous location for your AirB&B. Vancouver looks awesome.

[@LeggLife]

It was such an amazing location!

[@samandkellealbrecht9034]

Love all the pins 💜❤️ TSA precheck is gold. And I cannot wait to hear what y’all think of the cruise as we have only done Disney as well. Great travel vlog

[@LeggLife]

Oh gosh, Pre Check is a MUST if you travel often. It's such a time saver!

[@theresa7744]

I just love your channel!! Can’t wait to see these cruise vlogs!! 😊 xo

[@LeggLife]

So excited to share these cruise vlogs with you!

[@debbieb-c]

Love this vlog! I love that you take us along and show us so much of your adventure. Happy travels!

[@LeggLife]

Thank you for watching :)

[@diannewelch8380]

Wow! Quite an experience just getting to where your cruise 🚢 starts, but so exciting at the same time!!🤗 Can’t wait for your next one! 🙋‍♀️

[@LeggLife]

Yeah, it was quite an experience, but it was a smooth one!

[@amandajaquins6387]

We’re doing a back to back on the Disney Wonder, our 5th and 6th to Alaska. Using all of our cancellation credits. Love Alaska! Love being able to drive to the port makes layering easier.

[@LeggLife]

We hope your cruises are amazing!

[@shelagh7850]

We're just starting our second night on the Carnival Vista going to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel. Disney Wonder was in Galveston port with us.

[@LeggLife]

We hope you have a wonderful vacation!

[@coolauntiejoyce]

Yay cruise vlogs! Your adventure is making me so excited for my own Alaskan cruise on the Discovery Princess in Aug/Sep. Have fun you two!😍

[@LeggLife]

We hope you have an amazing cruise!

[@charflew23]

Haha catch 22 is actually a seafood restaurant in Moncton New Brunswick Canada. Wrong coast but a good catch either way

[@LeggLife]

Ha! Right country, wrong coast! 😂

[@KathInNJ]

Have an amazing trip!

[@LeggLife]

Thank you!

[@novalypso]

Hi there! I’m new to the channel but I was wondering what your checklist would be for someone who wants to potentially start vlogging? Also, what do you recommend for someone who is very interested in photography but are looking to improve? Love your videos and you 2 so far!

[@ciadaclark9110]

I would love to meet Adam and Sherri one day love u guys sad day for me today I lost a fur baby yesterday she was my one year old pit bull I'm at work trying to keep my mind busy . Please keep us in prayer .

[@michaelvandergrift133]

We'll be there in 76 days to board the Wonder :)

[@LeggLife]

How fun! I hope it’s amazing and magical!

[@cathyrobinson8667]

So much fun🤗

[@LeggLife]

It was a wonderful day, even if we all were super tired!

[@disneydogs3003]

Waiting patiently for your cruise volgs and they are finally here! Checking in through TSA seamed like a breeze. The Disney Wish arrived in Port Canaveral this morning. Do you have any plans of going on this ship ?🚢

[@LeggLife]

Maybe eventually? But we’re in no rush to cruise on the Wish

[@Ginny_Ryan]

Do you have a link to the Air BNB? We are doing Alaska next year out of Vancouver.

[@stephaniephelps1100]

do you have to be vaxed to go through Canada?

[@Edera7795]

When was the last time you have been on a turbo prop

[@LeggLife]

Actually, just a few months ago on a work flight between Portland and seattle.

[@claudiabenham2977]

May be a dumb question, but why can't you fly directly to Vancouver? Why go to Seattle first?

[@LeggLife]

Not a dumb question at all! There are very limited flights from anchorage to Vancouver, and then Air Canada flights we saw were super expensive. Plus, we prefer to fly with Alaska Air, so stopping in seattle was our option :)

[@lindalawrance4184]

Love watching your videos. Your a cute couple. I do wish to see you in a nice auburn color, not liking the unnatural colors.
