We had a wonderful time. It was mostly uneventful, except for the time we got caught in a forest fire for 2 hours going by train from Denali to Fairbanks. But even that was lovely in the dome car…… The itinerary was just about perfect. We also took advantage of our unscheduled time in Fairbanks to go to Wiseman Alaska via a flight-seeing expedition in a small plane. The one thing we missed doing was hiking on a glacier — all of us were too tired at that point to do anything, so we skipped that. Instead we spent the last day (yesterday) driving to Whittier and looking at the huge Holland America Cruise ship instead and gift shopping in the small shop in Whittier.

The hotels were perfect and the dome cars on the trains are experiences we will cherish. We were afraid of our dietary requirements, but every place we visited had menu items that catered to our limited needs! They were tasty too!!!

I have already talked about this trip to several folks in our extended family and I am sure they will be contacting you for arranging their trips!
