BRACK: Remembering back 20 years and a cruise to Alaska

By Elliott Brack  |  Twenty years ago, as Memorial Day rolled around, we were on a seven-day cruise to Alaska, out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Altogether, 16 of us made the trip.  If you’ve never been to Alaska on a cruise, let us recommend it. While we are no fan of big ship sea cruises, this one we can recommend. The smaller the ship, generally the better.

ANOTHER VIEW: Suffering from “Covid fever,” a report on visiting in Alaska

By Frank Sharp

VANCOUVER, Canada  |  Having been bundled up by the Covid-19 pandemic and suffering from “cabin fever,” we decided it was time for another travel adventure. After landing in Vancouver, we walked to the 44-story Harbor House Tower with its panoramic observation tower on its top floor. Next, we visited the nearby Chinatown, which is the second largest Chinatown in North America.
