We arrive in Vancouver BC at 8:00 AM to begin the long flight back to Atlanta.

Ok so some of us are slow learners. I see from looking at our 2006 Hawaii blog, that we said we wouldn’t do any more long flying days. Well, we did it again. This was another 15+ hour travel day including a stop in Toronto where we had to collect our luggage and clear U.S. Customs before getting on our final flight back to Atlanta.

Well this time we mean it. For the sake of convenience, we booked our air travel with the cruise line, and took what they gave us. After doing some online shopping now that we’re home, it turns out we could have booked our own air travel, and probably saved $400 each on airfare and saved about 6 hours travel time into the bargain.

All in all it was a great trip. We’d like to go back and spend more time in Alaska in a couple of years.
