DAY FIVE: in Skagway got up early at 5 am, thought it was 6 am-went to breakfast
buffet alone. it takes too much time before the family esp. the boys are awake
to go as a group to eat. I like the
peace and quiet of the morning alone. I’ve scheduled a train ride today for
the girls-Tina, twins and me-one on
one time with family is invaluable.
Three
hour train ride to White Pass then some shopping and off to the historical
museum alone to learn more about the Klondike Gold Rush. This is where my ggpa
Wm. Marion Johnson came in 1897 looking for riches. After 2 years here, it was
a bust for most gold seekers. Saw an interesting film on history of this area.
Twins and Tina just wanted to shop so they did. I tried to find my way back to
the ship but got on the Norwegian Pearl rather than the Norwegian Jewel. They
look the same but are quite a distance apart in the port-a long tiring walk to
find the right ship loaded down with souvenirs and coat, etc. So tired, glad we
are at sea tomorrow. A day of rest, then Victoria and home. More photos and journaling see http://lettersfromlin.blogspot.com/2015/08/day-five-skagway-alaska.html

2. IF so, how can it help you?
3. IF not, why?
