  • We're back in Skagway! What an amazing day this was as we explored the Yukon in an electric Ford Mustang from Klondike Electric Car Rentals!
    We drove from Skagway, through the Yukon, to the town of Carcross where we visited the Caribou Crossing Trading Post. Along the way, we saw a bear, a porcupine, and some breathtaking scenery! This was such a great and unique experience that we would absolutely do again!

    Hi Guys! New to LeggLife. Love you guys. I am Sailing on Royal Princess in Sept to Australia from Vancouver thought I would confirm your suspicion about the passageway photos being relevant to the Cruise destination. Thank you for showing me the Royal Princess ship! Glad I found LeggLife!

    Where headed to Alaska for a week of air b and b at Seward then onto princess for a week cruise! This is my second time and my husbands 3/4. The whole family is going! Including my son who is 10, my nephew who is 6, and niece 1.5 old. Just wanted to say that princess has a fantastic kid area. My son was 5 last time and he had a blast! I know princess isn’t really known for their children activities but it was the best for us to sit and watch the glacier or the spouts of whales in the distance!

    I'm so glad I found your channel. My husband and I will be on Grand Princess the end of May/beginning of June 2024. I just rented the car from Klondike Electric and mentioned I found out about the car through you. We had been thinking of the train excursion but really like to explore on our own time schedule. Can't wait!

    If you want to see polar bears, recommend you go to Churchill, Manitoba in Oct-November while the tundra buggies are taking tourists out. Polar bears are hanging around there, waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze over.

    Next time go all the way to Whitehorse. It is a great city. If you can make it to Dawson, do that too. The history of the town is phenomenal, same with Whitehorse.

    Awesome vlog. I love Skagway...the colorful store fronts. The beautiful scenery. We had breakfast and a show at the Red Onion Saloon (was cute and tasty) then bus took us to gold rush cemetery's and on up the opposite side of white pass. Then we panned for gold. Got some small nuggets. Next time White pass train maybe. We really had a packed day in Skagway. It was awesome. Gosh I love your vlogs. I get to reminisce. I sure hope to go back some day. Thanks Adam and Sherri! Blessings to you both 🙏

    Hit comment too soon. LOL We stopped in Haines in May. It was a late stop, 7:30-11:30. Not a lot was open, but was still fun to walk around. We did the private small group tour at Port Chilkoot Distillery and it was great! Garret, the tasting room manager, gave us a great tour. Was a the perfect way to end the day.

    Hi Sherri and Adam, love all your adventures thanks for taking us with you. I’d love to see more videos of the beach or on islands and such!!!! As beautiful as Alaska is, it’s not at or on my list of places to visit? I love the beach, the waters, the oceans, that’s my happy place. Thanks

    On one of our Alaska cruises, we were in Skagway on July 4th. We were told that there were 8000 permanent residents in Skagway. I think we met them all that day! It was amazing to see the turnout for July 4th.

    • @LeggLife

      Yup! We were there for July 4th last year and it was amazing!

    Amazing 🤩 I went in early May (2022) on a tour doing the same route you did but it was a completely different panorama. Lakes were frozen and the mountains were covered with snow; amazing! Renting a car seems to be a GREAT idea.

  • @Jinty_1966
    @Jinty_1966 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The area in Yukon you, Sherri, Justin and Lacey went to is really amazing. I went to Google to find out the name of the trousers the Mounties are wearing and they called "breeches". 😊

    It's so nice to see where you guys are going to. I actually have a cabin in Haines. I need to go back. Maybe next summer. The town of Haines is so beautiful! I grew up spending some of my summer vacations there with my family.

  • @cruisingwithcarrie2677
    @cruisingwithcarrie2677 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    @cherylemaybury9967 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish we had known to hire a car and drive up to the Yukon when we were in Skagway. We have a wonderful time exploring the town but seeing all those places you went has made me feel determined to go back one day. I am struggling with mouth cancer at the moment but hopefully once I finally heal I can take a trip.

  • @friedturnipspears
    @friedturnipspears 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You do a beautiful job taking in the wonderful Alaska scenery. I can even remember the smell. I miss it so much! Do you know those videos that show landscapes with music and/or the nature noises? Have you ever thought about doing something like that with the footage from your trips? Like a short 15 minute one for a meditative moment. I don't edit, and it sounds like it could be a big project, so I understand why you wouldn't. But maybe we can get one for Christmas please? haha Just an idea! Take Care!

    My wife and I booked this car as soon as we heard you talk about it in a previous video. It’s our first time in Alaska so we were pretty set on the train but we’ve always wanted to try out an EV and love that we can stop where and when we want. We’ll be there in about a month.

    So thankful to be able to watch you guys ! I feel we are friends even though we have never met! Watching you guys has helped me learn about Alaska for our cruise . And quick question: do you have any recommendations on where to stay in Seward for a group of 5 ? Thank you in advance for your help! Hugs from Iowa ! 💕

    • @LeggLife
      @LeggLife  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! In Seward we love the Harbor 360, there are lots of great airbnbs as well, or Salted Roots which we’ve never been able to stay at, but we hear AMAAAAAZING things about

    You sure have a great balcony view.
    Did you see any whales?

    It poured the day we were in Skagway, didn't go into town. All that yumminess we missed :( But the White Pass Summit Railway trip was amazing...and dry. I read the painted rock wall crumbled a bit, was hoping you'd show it. I hope none of the painted rocks were destroyed.

    • @LeggLife

      The rock slide happened after we had already left Skagway. It was just a few days after

    LOVED THIS! Watched the series when you first published and rewatching now for our upcoming Disney Alaska sailing this May, 91 days and counting!
    We are super torn between doing the Disney port adventure that takes us up on a bus to Carcross and then back down on the train or doing what you guys did and renting a car. It’s my adventurous wife & I plus our almost 17 year old son. What would you say? (Understanding it’s totally subjective)
    Also now I’m invested in the blanket situation, did you ever find out from your mom if was the same? Haha! Thanks as always for great content that I can watch again & again!

    I was lucky enough to have a very good travel year the year before the pandemic. I ended up going through several different countries and my passport was stamped only once! I was looking forward to having stamps and so it was a little disappointing. (International travel is pretty rare for me, so I had no idea passport stamps were phasing out, at least in the regions I visited.)

    • @LeggLife
      @LeggLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! We were actually in Skagway just a few days before the rock slide occurred. So, fortunately no issues for us, but it was crazy because the slide happened right where we were docked

    The pant s are called Riding Jodhpurs, because they were mounted on horseback, they wore riding pants as part of their uniform.
    Next time bring a red and white, peppermint candy. Some horses love them
    I think those puppies are spoiled rotten

      Yup! We had more than enough range for the entire trip! In fact, I think we were still at around 40% when we returned it. It was SO nice not having to “fill up” the car before returning it!

    That's not a sports car. Too many seats and a hard roof for starters.
