Days 277 to 301: July 4-26, 2025 – Alaska, USA
I lived in Juneau for several years (2015-2016) and Alaska very quickly became my favorite state. I’ve now been to all US states and Canadian provinces, and Alaska is still my #1. Now, as we wind our way around its coastline, every port reminds me of why it’s my favorite. Miles of coastline. Snow-capped mountains and glaciers. The midnight sun. Brilliant fireweed. Eagles and seagulls. Otters and sea lions. I had previously seen all three flavors of Alaska bears (black, brown, and polar) so I didn’t try to do any bear excursions on this trip, but they have those too.
Waving good-bye to my favorite state as we move on to Japan.
Such a deal: I wonder how many people have actually walked in, asking for the special?
Back on the ship, Baked Alaska was on the menu!

There’s magic and then there’s Alaska magic… you captured it well!
♥️
Agreed!
Alaska is one of only a few states I’ve never been in, but your photos showed me how beautiful it is along its west coast. Thank you so much for the posts. Wishing you smooth sailing to Japan!

Absolutely, you could do your next three years of calendars just from Alaska !
Yes, definitely!
Have yet to visit Alaska but so appreciate seeing it thru your lense.
You would love it here, my dear mountain-loving friend. Hope you can make your way up here some day.
