Look out Vancouver....

We did an Alaskan Cruise a couple of years ago. We did a fun "bike and brew" ride in Juneau. The bike ride was fun, nothing long or hard, and then we went to the Alaskan Brewing Co. for beer tasting.

I saw that and wondered if it would be fun and worth the $$$ if we don't drink??? do they have maybe a non-alcoholic beer or a ginger beer???

I think that teigyr has a very nice jersey from the Alaskan Brewing Co....she might be able to answer the question about ginger beer/non-alcoholic beer.

The brewery didn't have anything non-alcoholic. They did have things like soap and beer related merchandise.

Hmmm....in Juneau there's the tram to the top of the hill and a restaurant on the top. There's also a float plane excursion to a lodge for a salmon bake. Since you see so much on the way, it is a lot of fun. You spend quite a bit of time at the lodge and can walk around on the trails before flying back. We did a helicopter trip up to Mendenhall Glacier and did some trekking up on the ice.

I don't know Ketchikan but know people from there and could ask, if you're interested.

In Skagway, there's the White Pass. There is also just a lot of really interesting walking and hiking. The cemetaries outside of town are fascinating and I just enjoyed hanging around. There is a brewery in town that was nice and I'm sure they have non-alcoholic things.

I can provide links to anything if you're interested!!!

Thanks for the input ladies!!! We have decided to take (for sure) 2 shore excursions...the White-Pass Rail & Bike tour in Skagway and the Bike & Brew in Juneau - even tho I don't drink maybe I can use the beer to wash my hair (I have done it before and it does work...hehe)

...nothing yet for Ketchikan but I think we will try to get a couple Kayaks there and tool around!


In Vancouver we are going to rent a tandem and test our marriage in Stanley Park...

**because of the fact this is a trip with my bosses and I am not sure my "duties" along with the limited time in each locale we are not commiting to too much! Expecially in Vancouver with all the transfers from port to port and possibly having to lug baggage around for the bosses I do not think we would have time for a "real" mtb trip unfortunately!!! OH well...maybe next time!

Bouncy, Stanley Park is beautiful. (bear in mind there was an extreme windstorm there in November 2006, with many many trees downed. I'm hoping it's still gorgeous.) You'll have a very nice time!

Hugs and butterflies,

OK Gals!
You have all been very helpful! I have officially handed over my credit card number for the 2 shore excursions...our stay in SKAGWAY is allllllllll day so if anyone has ANY tips about restaurants or must see places please chime in...

***tiegyr...nudge...nudge!!!

NOW...in Vancouver I have lbs phone numbers, tandem to rent, suggested bike route around town & through Stanley Park...BUT, where, OH, where do we nourish ourselves???? Anything between the ship port and the park. Here is a link to the bike route map if we have time so anything on that route as well...

Hubby is a picky eater and we want quick and easy and bike friendly (no fancy joints) I most likely will be smelling of sour orchids!!!! hehe

Thank you all so much!!!
