After all vacation plans in 2020 and early 2021 were cancelled, I was itching to travel. Bad. After getting vaccinated, I started making plans. And after cruising restarted in June 2021, I was ready to get on a ship.
During 2020, we made plans to go to Alaska in 2022. We already had big, expensive trips (Europe and Antarctica) in 2021. Once it was clear neither of those would happen, we needed new plans for 2021. So since Europe and Antarctica were moving to 2022, Alaska got pulled back to 2021.
After enjoying traveling with Denali the Moose so much in 2016, of course he had to come along. The trip was just a dream. We felt very safe and the weather and destinations were even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The only blip was that some serious fog kept us from sailing Endicott Arm. But we had an incredible sunset the night before (on what was supposed to be a rainy day), so… Mother Nature demands payment somehow.
