Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
After watching the UCLA women’s basketball team (on TV) win the NCAA national championship and joining them at Pauley Pavilion for their victory celebration, we packed up the cats and ebikes and headed to our home campground in Valencia, California. The next day I taught my last UCLA class (after …
Following our small boat cruise around the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska, we took a few days to explore the two towns at either end of our route, both popular with cruise ship visitors. Ketchikan is often the first stop for cruise ships coming from Seattle or Vancouver, and we …
“Didn’t you just visit Alaska?” friends have asked. Well, yes, we took our RV there on an 8500-mile, 11-week trip in 2023. See the blue route below for the area of Alaska (and a bit of the Yukon Territory and British Columbia) that we visited in 2023. But there are …
