In response to "Modes of travel: train, plane, whatever's sane."

Wordsmitty ✍️ I remember something similar from growing up. Reminds me that I can't remember much any more.

Euro-American airlines aren't the best. They're basically Air Greyhound with wings and minimal service. Not as bad as traveling by mini-van in Thailand though; that can be brutal.

When I was little, we did family trips. My dad was a saleman, so we always drove, sometimes all day. We had a cooler in the back seat that mom could make snacks and sandwiches so dad could continue to drive. Sometimes we'd stop if there was a place to picnic.

International transportation always has better food and service than most of the US carriers. Of course, those seated beyond the curtain near the front have pretty good stuff. They never send leftovers to the back, even after you smell the cookies baking.

Cruises start in early May and go through September, but the rush is mainly June through August to attract families with kids.

Wordsmitty ✍️ I'm thinking of going off-off-season. Need to find when cruises start... and avoid them. I'm assuming that the ferry is fairly frequent. Hop off one day, hop on two days later? The details...

I haven't checked into prices for lodging. If it's like anywhere else in the US it'll be painful regardless of season.

May need more planning than Morocco or Costa Rica. May be more expensive. The advantage is that it's "close" and not ten time zones away.

Thanks for the link.

Be aware that Juneau in the summer becomes swamped with cruise ship tourists during most days. Avoiding the port area might mitigate some of that issue, but local sites will mostly be full. Sitka has more history. Didn't get to Ketchikan, so can't comment, but all have some cruise ships. Here's a site to check to get links to find out what ships are at ports each day. Good to know in advance wherever you are going that has a port, but especially smaller places than can get overwhelmed or become much different on ship days. https://www.whatsinport.com/

In response to "How do I define travel?"

Wordsmitty ✍️ I've been 'home' 6 months... 4 months too long. I applied for a new passport. Hoping to travel come December. Will make an entry of possibilities in this blog!
