We left beautiful Calgary on a Greyhound bus. It takes about 12 hours to get to Vancouver, but the reason I booked it was because you see some of the best scenery in Canada. We had about 4 stops to stretch the legs and get a bite to eat.
The bus was well worth the travel time, not only did we get the wonderful scenery but we also got to see a number of towns along the way, these are places you would never see if you are flying to each destination.
Got into Vancouver and made our way to the hotel. We had a suite again, how nice. Vancouver is a lovely city, easy to get around and there are many, many tourists. We went on a flight simulation that was called fly over Canada. Nobody should come to Vancouver and not go on this flight, it is GREAT.
Before we knew it, the time has come to go on the Alaskan cruise. There was 3 ships in dock ready to load passengers, so you can imagine how many people were at the port. The way it was organised to get on the ship was very well done. First passengers from each ship met in an auditorium at the Convention Centre, here they took your bags then gave you a number and said to sit down until your number was called.
Once called you went thru security, then a different room and take a seat again. Next we were called up to go through customs then onto the ship. Overall it took about two and a half hours but it didn't seem that long. Here we are on the ship, we have had a practice drill, been watered and fed and walked around the ship to get our bearings. All good.
