Alaska is where it's at

Just got home from paradise.
Saw Orca's, Humpbacks, Otters, Sea Lions, Colony Seals, Harbor Porpoises, Black and Brown bear, Eagles and the most beautiful sunsets and snow capped mountains.
I'm just in awe of all the beauty I got to experience the past 15 days.
This was a Jyl Trip........I planned it myself and decided to go alone.
One of the BEST trips I've ever had.
When you travel alone it's totally different than traveling with a friend or spouse.
Not that I'm going to always do this....but it's nice to know that I can enjoy myself just as much as being with someone.
I was more open to letting other people into my life instead of focusing and sharing with the person I'm traveling with.
I did things with people I'd have never done things with had I been with someone else.

It just all worked out beautifully.

The Bed and Breakfasts were all on the ocean and gorgeous.
The Marine Highway (ferry) that the locals use was awesome.
The eco-tourism yacht I found was the BEST of the BEST!!
A wonderful captain who books 8 people. He could book 15, but he's not just about the money, he's about quality for the people he shares his love of Alaska with.
Rare in this day and age to find someone like that.

The boat was built in 1931 and she was a true beauty. He keeps it up so perfectly.
His son is taking over in January. I hear he's as awesome as his dad.

I'm just on cloud 9 after this trip.

Being in nature is ALWAYS and FOREVER where I am most complete!

Feeling so grateful!
