Fall Trip

Papa and I are packing our things for a three week trip.  We will leave the ranch tomorrow afternoon and spend tomorrow night in Tucson.  We fly to Seattle on Friday.  On Saturday, we'll check in for a one week cruise to Alaska, stopping in Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan.  We'll traverse the Inside Passage of British Columbia and spend a day in Victoria, before disembarking in Vancouver.

On September 22, we'll fly from Vancouver to Calgary.  We're renting a truck and will drive directly to Lake Louise, where we are staying five nights.  We are anxious to explore Banff, Jasper, and Yoho National Parks.  Fingers crossed that Papa's ankle will be enough improved so he can hike with me!

We'll fly to Montreal for two nights, staying in the old city.  We'll board another cruise in Montreal, on September 29, with stops in Quebec City, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Halifax, Bar Harbor, Maine, and ending in Boston.  We will fly back to Tucson on October 6.  We are hopeful the trip will be interesting, fun, colorful (leaves), and active.  We hope for bon voyage!
