Alaska Cruise and US west coast tour 2012
Alaska Cruise and US west coast tour 2012
Vancouver Canada 3 nights
From Vancouver airport we took the Sky Train that becomes a subway and it took us all the way to our hotel in the city centre. One is aware that many of the people here are immigrants as they speak English with foreign accents. The original Chinese in this area were brought to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. Vancouver has the 2nd biggest China Town after San Francisco.
We took tickets for the Hop-on tourist bus and went riding around the city getting explanation of its history.
Vancouver is Canada's only big port on the Pacific and you see bulk carriers in the harbour loading grain and chemicals like sulphur. We toured around and saw that the city is a series of peninsulas and islands joined by bridges.
At the end of the peninsula is Stanley Park which is bigger than Central Park NY, it is made up of paths and virgin forest with giant red wood trees. In 2006 there was a powerful windstorm that blew over most of the trees so many of the pines are snapped off in the middle and regrowing. We went to the market where many of the stalls of fruit and vegetables run by Chinese. Prices are higher than in Israel.
Vancouver has a good public transport system of trolley buses which are very quiet. We see in the pub that the sport people watch in Canada most seems to be ice hockey. It rains right through the year and there is a plentiful supply of water which you can drink from the tap. There are high mountains right next to the city that you can ski on and there is still snow on their peaks.
One of the thing we noticed in Vancouver is that there are dozens of Starbucks coffee shops, far more than Mac Donalds, in fact there seems to be almost one on every corner. In Canada all prices say + tax so you never know what the price is that you pay in the end. The weather is cold 10C and yet the locals seem to be out in shorts and shirts while I have all my winter cloths on. They tell me it can reach 27C here in summer.
Today I went off and toured myself and went to see the Police museum something different from other things you see in most cities.The building is part of the old city morgue and you see all the equipment they use in forensic research. The Actor Erryl Flynn died visiting Vancouver of a heart attack and was taken to that morgue. You have a collection of weapons of every sort as well stuff used to counterfeit money, loaded dice and marked cards for gambling, it shows you the variety of thing that police have to get involved in. Old police bicycles and motorbikes.
Walking through the city centre there was a demonstration of Chinese supporting this blind dissadent, against lack of freedom in China and people giving speeches about it, this included a band of musicians and a group in Chinese clothes doing tai che. They gave out news papers telling about the torture by the government. Interesting that among the free newspapers available there is a Chinese paper.
In the afternoon my cousin Maxine Krinsky (ne Gibbert) collected us outside our hotel and took us for a long ride to see the different bays across the Lion bridge. This is the best time of the year to see the spring flowers in bloom. She drove us to Horseshoe Bay where the ferries go out to the different islands.
The Cruise 7 nights
We walked from the hotel in Vancouver to Canada Place at the same time as the city streets were closed for the Vancouver Marathon.The port is the same as getting through security at the airport. Canadians and Americans got through quickly while we had to wait and be fingerprinted electronically and photographed. then we could register at the ships reception like a hotel, till finally we boarded the ship and were able to join the buffet lunch which is open round the clock. This ship is like a hotel that accommodates 2700 people. It has a staff of half that number and most of the staff are foreign workers, of a great variety of countries especially the Philippines and India. The don't earn American wages or need permits to work in the States.The entertainment was a musical and a Jewish standupist Noodle Levinstein. Our cabin is a typical small hotel room with toilet shower.
During the night we sailed along the Inner Passage of the Alaskan panhandle and hardly felt the sea movement as we did the following day when we hit the open sea. If we eat 3 meal a day we will put on weight so for breakfast I ate bagel , smoked salmon and cream cheese and fruit. For lunch mostly green salad with some pasta. For dinner we have been eating at one of the sit down restaurants which is also available at no extra cost and usually choose a fish dish, and salad. Often we went for dessert and tea later on in the evening at the buffet after the entertainment. Every time you go into the buffet there is a Phillipino lady at the entrance saying "Happy,happy, washie,washie" and spraying an alcohol cleaner onto your hands to prevent any viral infection spreading around the ship. After a few days the stuff gave me a rash on my hands and I stopped using it.
When you are travelling through he inland passage you can look out on either side and see forests and mountains with snow on the peaks. At one point the channel looked so narrow that looking ahead there seemed to be a dead end.
Besides the evening entertainment in the theatre there are programs in the different lounges or music where they hope you will keep drinking booze. The theatre is full size and perhaps half the guests can fit in at once but they have 2 shows. You usually walk through the casino to get to the theatre and they are always trying to get you to gamble.
Juneau
We went for a trip to the Mendenhall Glacier and from this leaned that snow fall on the hills and slowly slides down the valleys as glaciers and it takes about 800 years for this ice to push its way down from the hills in the form of a glacier. The ice is pure transparent ice and is a blue colour and grinds down the mountains bringing sand and rocks with it. With global warming the glaciers are receding and new plant life is slowly taking their place.
Juneau is the capital of Alaska but there is no road to it and you have to come by boat or plane.
The garbage bins have special latches that bears can't open. Nothing happens in winter here but in
summer the population more than trebles to deal with the flow of tourists, the buses used are very old looking models as they sit doing nothing all winter.
Skagway.
From the harbour is a narrow gauge railway line that runs 100 miles to the Yukon River from where people took a boat down the river to Dawson on the Klondike where the gold diggings were. There was a depression in 1898 and the people who came to find gold took jobs on the construction of the railway which was built in 2 years and 2 months. So this was not built by Chinese but by American workers. The train took us up very steep slopes over 2 bridges and through 2 tunnels into Canadian territory , between 2 walls of snow taller than the train on either side.
The actual gold was in Canadian territory but you could not get there without going through Skagway.
The town was quite large in its day till the gold ran out but is preserved now as a tourist attraction and the old homes are shops, it has a permanent population today of less than a thousand.
Glacial National Park
The cruise took us through Glacial National park and spent the day cruising around seeing the glaciers and the ice chunks falling into the sea. There was also a lecture on the conditions in the area and the wild life. If bears get food from a person it endangers other people that follow. Campers should carry food in sealed containers that bears can't open.
Kechikan
Arrived in this town in the morning and spent a few hours walking around the area. You see flying boats taking off all the time. The town is built on the side of a hill and many houses built along the creek are built on wooden pillars with boardwalks joining them. there is also a street built of solid wood. Thelma Copeland known as Dolly Author set up a "house" here and lived in it till she died and the property and furniture is preserved as she left it in 1970. In the town museum they show the history of the salmon fishing industry as well as the timber industry. Both of these are controlled and limited today. In those days they built nets in the water and trapped the salmon as they came up the river to spawn. This type of fishing is illegal today. The abandance of Salmon is because there are several hatcharies that keep replenishing the stocks.
Some people live across the water from the town on an island and each one has a jetty by his house and travels by motor boat to work or school. Most of the trees here are newly grown the virgin wood must have been cut down.
We went to the library to get an hour of free internet and most there had the same idea. There was a good selection of books, audio-books and DVDs. Most of the books looked as if they had never been read.
Victoria
Travelled to the Canadian port city of Victoria which is a peninsula and has a population of 350 000.
At the port you see 0 the start of the Trans Canadian highway. This city was started as a wooden Fort Victoria in 1858.
It is the capital of British Colombia and has big government building and other old buildings in the city centre that were preserved. The cruise ship stays only a few hours in Canada, as unlike in Alaska the casino has to be closed while in port.
There happened to be a Classic Car Owners rally so we saw cars cruising the street that included a Model T Ford, a Chev from 1958 and a Mustang convertible, as well as a convertible from the 60 that was enormous.
Seattle 3 nights
Had breakfast on the ship and got off with our luggage in Seattle. This city is a port that reminds me of San Francisco as it has some very steep hills. After we booked in our hotel we were dropped off down-town by the hotels complimentary shuttle and visited the Pike Market where we saw them throwing fish. In fact there are lots of tourist who come to see it with no intention of buying raw fish, but we did find a very good restaurant where we ate salmon or cod. The market was dominated by flowers sold mostly by Chinese
There is a variety of hand crafted goods available besides fruit and vegetables. Seattle is on the Pugit Sound so the water is very calm there. If you look north you still see snow the on mountains but there was a breeze coming from the south so we have warm sunny days. Seattles big industries are Microsoft and Boeing.
Took a walk to the Seattle Centre and as we arrived at the fountain at exactly 10am it suddenly turned on with music and sent up jets of dancing water. We spent most of the morning at the Science Museum. We were very lucky that it happened to be a free day so saved a lot on the entrance and were able to see an Imex 3D movie on the arctic and its future where the ice is melting very rapidly. Astrid is always looking for ideas to use in her science classes in this type of museum.
Something different was a butterfly house that you enter and see dozens of butterflies on the plants around you.
We then took the monorail that gets to the centre of Seattle. This was built in 1962 for the Seattle World's Fair, it is only a mile long and runs every 10 minutes and the whole journey is 2 minutes. I am surprised that they never extended it as a form of transport as it is very popular and runs above the road not interfearing with the city.
It took us 38 minutes on the Sound transit to the airport this is though tunnels and then it goes overhead on a high bridge over river and between houses in the air above very tall trees.
Phoenix Arizona 3 nights
We came here to visit Astrids nephew and niece Gavin and Lara
This certainly is a city built for cars and not people and it is a part of the States that does not appeal to me. The season here is in the winter months as the area is crowded with "snowbirds" people who have homes in Phoenix and come from the cold north to enjoy the warm weather.
Scotsdale. This whole area is miles and miles of ranch style houses, shops restaurant and every individual need a car. I see lots of plants each a meter apart along the roads and are kept alive by drip irrigation, you see lots of suguaro cactus. This whole area is surrounded by golf courses.
Gavin has his restuarant "Vintage 95" in the old-town of Chandler in the origenal mail office.
We took a drive to Papago park which has lots of recreation including the Phoenix Zoo but it was far too hot to go walking around. We went to the Arizona Historical Museum which is very extensive and has a large collection of stuff brought to it by the locals. One of the problems visiting it was that you step out of an oven of 38C into this museum and I did not have a sweater and was freezing inside.
It has amongst other thing a collection of quilts and explains the art, it has one that dates back to the civil war made out of scraps of material. Sport developed in Phoenix as teams from Chicago would come here in winter to practise.
What is interesting is that Phoenix hardly had a population before WW2. The military set up bases here, flying schools. Japanese interns were put in camps here but the biggest development was agriculture as there was cheap land and no shortage of water at the time as the Salt River flows through Arizona. Silver mining developed this area also and there is a lot of other mining. Originally it was wetland and then dams were built and the farmers got as much water as they wanted. I am not sure that nowadays they have to control the amount of water used but on restaurant porches there is always a fine spray of water in the hot dry weather and it feels cool. Dirty water it's recycled and used to water the dozens of golf-courses
Today there are a lot of high tech in this area including Intels biggest factory. The economy in this state is strong compared to the recession in California.
These western states are a car manufactures dream as you can't do a thing without a car per person in the family. Just building car parking buildings at the airport, theatre, shopping malls is an industry. Wherever you want to go means hours on highways. If a fraction of the money put into highways had gone into a public transport system perhaps America would not be so bankrupt today.
At least people know how to drive here and we haven't experienced road rage or hooting.
Los Angeles. 2 nights
We came here to visit Astrids brother Steven and arrived via Burbank Airport.
When Steven took us to LAX airport we went via the Valencia shopping mall where Astrid bought the newest Apple Ipad and he then drove us along the coast to get a view of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. We flue to London where Astrid's uncle and aunt Frank and Brenda met us at the airport where we had a cup of tea together and exchanged new before we took our connection to TA
Arrived back in Israel on 23/5/12
- __________________________-_________________________________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/5/12 Notes written daily
Our flight from Israel to London was full and we arrived in London on time but were kept in the air 20 minutes
and then had a long bus ride to the terminal. The result was that we had to convince them to let us into the
fast track to get to security and onto the Vancouver plane 10 minutes before it left.
The second flight from London to Vancouver was 9 hours long and I watched on both planes a total of 5 movies.
Luckily the long flight was half full and we had 4 seats for the 2 of us and Astrid was able to stretch out and sleep.
Movies The Separation, Albert Nobbs, J Edgar Hoover, A week with Marlyn Monroe. War Horse.
I had the Android to read but the battery was flat so I read the press. In any case when they are taking off and landing
you have to switch off your electronic equipment. So perhaps I will go back to a good old book even if it takes up
more place.
Vancouver looks like a very modern city there is a Sky train that becomes a subway that took us all the way to our
hotel. One is aware that a lot of the people here are immigrants as they speak English with foreign accents. A lot of
Chinese in this area They were brought to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. Vancouver has the 2nd biggest China Town
after San Francisco.
Today it is 14C and drizzling. English spoken here is very clear compared to parts of England.
We are 10 hours difference in time to Israel so got to bed and tried to make up the jet lag.
We have tickets for the Hop on tourist bus and have been riding around the city getting explanation of its history.
Vancouver is Canada's only big port on the Pacific and you see bulk carriers in the harbour loading grain and chemical
like sulfur. We toured around and saw that the city is a series of peninsulas and islands joined by bridges.

13/5/12
We have had our cruise and are now in Seattle and I again have access to a computer.
Seattle reminds me a bit of S. Francisco - the city is built on hills and steep slopes. We are lucky that it is not raining
and it is like summer compared to yesterday. I have made notes on our Alaska view and will write them up as soon as I
get a chance.
Vancouver
On of the thing we noticed in Vancouver is that there are dozens of Starbucks coffee shops, far more than Mac Donald,
in fact there seems to be almost one on every corner. In Canada all prices say + tax so you never know what the price is that you pay in the end. The weather is cold 10C and yet the locals seem to be out in shorts and shirts while I have all my winter cloths on. They tell me it can reach 27C here in summer.

This is the best time of the year to see the spring flowers in bloom. She drove us to Horseshoe Bay where the ferries go out to the different islands. She also took us out for tea and I had blueberry pie with it. She took us to the North Bay where she lives Later on we went out for supper of fish and chips.
Maxine has a son married in Toronto a daughter in California and a son in Vancouver.
I was keen to hear what had happened to her brother Mark and sister Shelley Ann who is still in Jo'burg whose one son has gone into the Israeli army.It is only by knowing somebody here that you can learn of the lifestyle and the problems of this place, and Maxine certainly went out of her way to entertain us.

Tuesday 16/5/12
We walked from the hotel in Seattle to the Monorail and that took 2 minutes to get to the centre of the city and from there we went down to the subway in which a light rail and bus system run. It took us 38 minutes on the Sound transit to the airport this is though tunnels and then it goes overhead on a high bridge over river and between houses in the air above very tall trees.
Phoenix Arizona
This certainly is a city built for cars and not people and it is a part of the States that does not appeal to me.
Gavin took us to a restaurant and Lara arrived later.(|Astrid's nephew and niece) It was great to see them and to hear what they are doing. Gavin has managed to succeed in the restaurant business and is doing well. The season here is in the winter months as the area is crowded with "snowbirds" people who have homes in Phoenix and come from the cold north to enjoy the warm weather. Lara has a very well paid job at a hotel company and deals with groups of people.
We over ate a big meaty dinner in Scotsdale. This whole area is miles and miles of ranch style houses, shops restaurant and every individual need a car. I see lots of plants each a meter apart along the roads and are kept alive by drip irrigation, you see lots of suguaro cactus. This whole area is surrounded by golf courses.

Friday18/5/12
After returning the car we flew from Phoenix to Burbank where Steven(Astrid's brother) met us and took us to a real Chinese restaurant where most of the customers were Chinese. We came back to Steven and Tiffany's home in Palmdale which is miles from anywhere. We have relaxed here and spent time with Steven, Tiffany and her daughter Tristine.
When Steven took us to LAX we went vie the Valencia shopping mall where Astrid bought the newest Apple Ipad and he drove us along the coast to get a view of Santa Barbra and Venice Beach.
