My Luxurious Train Ride On The Rocky Mountaineer
What's better than flying first class? This luxury train service in the Pacific Northwest known as the Rocky Mountaineer. Seems to me like it must be the highest level of service you'd find on a train in North America!
In this video, I take you along with me and my wife for a slightly more than five hour trip from Seattle, Washington to Vancouver, British Columbia in a special rail car that far exceeds the level of service and pampering you'd get on Amtrak.
We boarded at the King Street station in Seattle and headed north on a beautiful route along Puget Sound. The tracks ran right along the water for hours! The views were fantastic and the food, drinks, and level of service provided to the passengers was, too!
This Seattle-Vancouver journey is known as the Coastal Passage, and it's a good alternative for people that can't afford the ultimate Rocky Mountaineer experience: the 2-day journey from Vancouver to Banff.
Some of the points of interest in the video include the Seattle Space Needle, Fairhaven, Bellingham, Surrey, Crescent Beach, and the border between Canada and the United States.
Because we booked the Gold Leaf service rather than the less expensive Silver Leaf class, we rode in a 2-level rail car with a dining room on the bottom level and a glass-domed viewing area on the upper level.
I'll be riding the Rocky Mountaineer again in July of 2020, following an Alaska cruise. If you think you might be interested in coming along with me for that vacation, take a look at for details.

KAYAKING WASHINGTON STATE AND EXPLORING ABANDONED SHIPS (PART 1)
#KAYAKING WASHINGTON STATE
While kayaking Washington state, I discovered a half sunken ship. Being the curious urban exploration type, I could not let my thirst to explore this abandoned boat not be satisfied. So I set out on this little adventure and quest to explore some of the fascinating ships and boats anchored in Steamboat Slough. There are not a whole lot of places in Seattle where one can explore abandoned ships. Steamboat Slough near Everett, Washington is one of those places. There are a few abandoned boats scatter throughout the area waiting to be explored. This is part one of a two part series on me and my determination to explore the SS Elusive Dream.
The cool thing about Washington state, there are so many places that are excellent for kayaking so one can never be bored. If ever you are wondering where to kayak in Seattle, put this place on your list.

Washington Coast | Ruby Beach, Lake Quinualt, Seabrook, & Long Beach
Our road trip along the Washington Coast and Olympic National Park with our awesome Korean Jindo dog, exploring the unique beaches of Ruby, Seabrook, Long Beach, and Lake Quinualt.
TOP TRAVEL TIPS:
*The Washington Coast is beautiful, but it is difficult to go when it's sunny, so try to go when sun is predicted in the forecast.
*Long Beach has much to offer with Cape Disappointment State Park and Beards Hallow- definitely could be done with this trip.
*Cannon Beach and the Oregon Coast is less than an hour away from Long Beach, and La Push where Second Beach is located is less than an hour away from Ruby Beach, so this drive could become an epic road trip if there is enough time.
*We left from Seattle and explored all of the stops in one day, then stayed in Long Beach, probably the nicest ocean sandy beach in Washington.
Map of our route:
WHAT WE DID:
(0:00) Intro with all of the destinations
(0:11) Ruby Beach (apart of Olympic National Park),
(1:27) Lake Quinault Lodge,
(2:01) Seabrook - the new beach town/development, at Pacific Beach.
(2:32) Long Beach, where we stayed at Ocean Park.

Cruise Line Updates Regarding Seattle Jamaica Virgin Voyages Viking Cruises San Juan and Pickle Ball
Cruise Line Updates Regarding Seattle Jamaica Virgin Voyages Viking Cruises San Juan and Pickle Ball The Alaska Cruise season is about to begin and Seattle is ready to recieve a record number of cruisers. Last year over 1 million passengers and their luggage came through town and brought lots of cash to spend in the area. Hotels, airports, rental car agencies, restaurants and all those
Starbucks locations welcomed the tourists with open arms. The new Norwegian Bliss will make Seattle it's home for the summer season and 4000 passengers a week will climb onboard this new ship and enjoy all of it's new features. Jamaica has just set a new record for tourist visits, but the country remains under a state of emergency. Cruise passengers can only visit private isolated ports with armed security guards present as the large cities and the countryside is too unstable for visitors. Virgin Voyages meanwhile has had to stop accepting $500 cruise deposits for it's first ship out of Miami in 2020 due to demand. The cruise line will focus all of it's energies towards a younger aged crowd but not allow anyone under 18 to board. The demographic seems to be 25 to 50. Lots of activities are planned for each cruise out of Miami to the Caribbean. Viking Cruises has a sale on right now for those passengers who enjoy a quiete cruise. You can get free airfare to the ship from all major airports in the US plus a few from Canada if you reserve an 8 day cruise in the caribbean for Nov 2018. These cruises depart from San Juan Puerto Rico and that might explain why there is a deal offered for these cruises. San Juan is still in a fragile state from the Hurricanes last fall and flights in and out are dicey. Attention all Pickle Ball Players! Holland America, Princess, and Regent Cruises have installed Pickle Ball courts onnboard their ships and within 2 years almost all cruise lines will have pickle ball onboard. It is becoming a very popular sport among the 50 and older crowd.
