Our Route

Babs and  I have finalized our itinerary and reservations have been made.  We have reservations all the way from home, to and while touring Alaska, and ending in Seattle, WA where we will meet our daughter Katy and her husband Jason.  This will insure that we have lodging, which is a premium in parts of Canada and Alaska.  The drawback is that, due to many 48 hour cancellation policies, we will have to stick to our plan.  Babs is freaking out over gas prices and constantly complains that gas will bankrupt us!  She is also convinced that the "Pacific Ring of Fire" is working it's way to the west coast of the mainland US and Alaska.  She is sure that we are driving toward disaster.  Ho-Hum!  Hopefully, weather, gas prices, Ring of Fire and other circumstances will cooperate.
