A tale of a short adventure vacation in Alaska We've got 5 days. Priority #1: Salmon and halibut fishing. Priority #2: Hiking and seeing wildlife. Priority #3: No cruise needed. How do we make this happen? Answer: Ketchikan, Alaska!  Just a 2 hour non-stop flight from Seattle makes it the most easily accessible town in Alaska from the continental U.S. We started our travel day at 7:00am from the Reno airport and were walking the historic streets of Ketchikan by lunchtime! Afternoon entertainment in town included walking the famous boardwalk at Creek Street and driving down the Tongass Highway south to Herring Cove to look for bears and eagles where the creek empties into the sea. Have you heard the call of bald eagles before? It’s not like the movies where they seem to use a hawk-like screech. Bald eagles have more of a lyrical chirp, a pretty darn loud chirp! Guided FishingWe signed up for a 3-day fishing special with Captain Rick Dale and Big Fish Charters. Rick and his family have lived in Ketchikan for 100 years and after the first day of fishing with Captain Rick he felt like an old friend. As the only clients on the boat, Amanda Rae, we set a goal each day and Rick and his able deckhand, Pat, made it happen. Rick entertained us with stories from his decades as a fishing and hunting guide in Alaska and he and Pat were both patient, professional, and easy-going with us and our 12-year old avid angler. When the weather cooperated, we were farther out fishing for halibut. We explored the inlets while trolling for salmon and were treated to many wildlife sightings, including a pod of whales one day! When fishing was slow, we set crab pots. Every day was a success! It was very relaxing being out on our Alaska fishing adventure watching the salmon jump all around and seeing bald eagles and Sitka black-tailed deer on shore. Of course, all this relaxing was punctuated by the thrill of getting a fish on the hook and landing them in the boat. We came home with plenty of fish - yum! Fishing On Our OwnWe had a day off in between days with Rick and we made the decision to rent a boat out of Knudson Cove and fish on our own. Things I learned from this experience:
 The one that got away!

You know your sport. You're absolutely competent in your sport. In your own "neck of the woods" you have no issue planning and going out on your own, or even with friends and family. But there are times when using a professional guide is incredibly valuable. So, when should you consider hiring a professional guide?
When You Value Your Time
My husband and I have developed a deep appreciation for the fact that we now have more money than time. As younger travelers, we had more time than money so we could head out for adventures and slowly sort out where we were going, where the best hikes were, or where the snow was best for some backcountry skiing. Trial and error were fine, because, hey - there's always tomorrow!
Things change. Now you have a week, maybe two weeks for that dream vacation and you want to spend your vacation enjoying your vacation, not taking a day or more to re-think and re-design the whole plan.
A professional guide saves you time because they know the area, they know the conditions, they know the routes. Your professional guide can quickly re-think a plan or adjust the itinerary based on conditions.
For example, you plan a ski tour to the Alps, but when you arrive the snow conditions on that route are not ideal, or worse, just not an option. Ta-da! Your guide will know where the conditions are favorable and can match the groups' interest with a new route and you will get on your way.
Or, imagine arriving at a new rock climbing area and even with a guide book you still have to spend time puttering around, identifying the routes, scoping them out, finding the right walk-off trail, etc. Now imagine you arrive at that new rock climbing area with a guide who leads you right to the perfect climb and you are on the rock shortly after arrival!

When You Are Adventuring With Kids
Your kids are old enough to adventure with you - awesome! And, you've got the know-how to show them the sport you love. But, here are the benefits of hiring a pro with your kids:
Your kids are old enough to adventure with you - awesome! And, you've got the know-how to show them the sport you love. But, here are the benefits of hiring a pro with your kids:
- Safety - You've got more eyes keeping an eye on the safety of your kids. From checking gear to make sure it's secure and on correctly to keeping kids away from cliff edges on the trail, you've got backup.
- Enthusiasm - Now you've got a guide setting the pace and giving direction. Kids are less likely to argue with a professional than with their own parents, right? My experience with my kids is they enjoyed the novelty of being with a Pro and their pace and endurance on the trail was like nothing we've seen before! And, our guide was able to encourage and push them to expand what they thought were their limits. Success for all!
- Enjoyment - Knowing you aren't the only one responsible for your kids' safety helps you to enjoy the experience yourself. You now have time and space to more thoroughly enjoy the scenery, enjoy the adventure, and enjoy seeing your kids having fun and pushing themselves.

What is Via Ferrata Climbing?
Put simply, a via Ferrata is a protected climbing path. Via Ferrata, Italian for "iron way" originated in Italy during World War I to move troops through the mountains through the use of ladders, iron rungs, and cables. Today, you can still follow the paths set during WWI and explore bunkers and tunnels in the Dolomites.

Family Fun!
Whether your family loves to climb or has never been climbing, there is a via Ferrata trip for you! One of the best things I liked about our via Ferrata adventure was having the whole group moving and working at the same time. No one had to "wait for their turn" on the rope. And, with the many routes to choose from for their variety, location, and exposure - there's sure to be a route that is a great match for your family or group.
 |   |
You can enjoy a single day on a via Ferrata route or go for multiple days and enjoy the culture of the mountain huts, or refugios, in Italy. Each refugio has it's own character and it is exciting to stay up in the mountains! The beds are made comfortable with cozy duvets and pillows - just bring a light sleep sack or sleeping bag liner. And, you can't go hungry at the refugio! Your overnight stay includes a multi-course dinner and breakfast the next morning. But beware - sodas can be more expensive than beer!
And, bring a deck of cards to keep your group entertained in case afternoon thunderstorms keep you inside for a while.

Variety
For our 3-day, hut-to-hut, via Ferrata trip in the Dolomites, we had fun climbing ladders, traversing mountainsides, climbing iron pegs and cables, crossing snow patches, hiking in beautiful alpine forests, and having amazing views all the time! And, this was just around Cortina d'Ampezza. There are via Ferrata routes throughout the Dolomites! The best and most efficient way to experience the Dolomites is with a professional guide.

Final Thoughts
We knew we were going to be climbing in the Dolomites during our trip to Europe. We also knew that we didn't want to lug around extra gear before or after our time in the Dolomites. So, what did we bring, what did we need to bring?
We knew we were going to be climbing in the Dolomites during our trip to Europe. We also knew that we didn't want to lug around extra gear before or after our time in the Dolomites. So, what did we bring, what did we need to bring?
- Day packs for everyone. These were necessary for carrying our personal gear from hut to hut. And, these packs were used as our carry-on luggage for flights. We were able to leave the kids' packs in the huts for climbs and just use parents' packs for day gear (also helps to keep those kids moving when they are lighter).
- Refillable water bottle. Necessary for hiking and useful throughout the trip.
- Hiking shoes. Well, parents brought climbing approach shoes which also served as our hiking and comfortable walking shoes. Kids had hiking shoes. All were waterproof or water resistant.
- Sleeping bag liner. Necessary for overnights in the huts. We forgot ours but were able to buy some in Italy.
- Headlamp. For "just in case", but also handy for nighttime in the huts and tunnels in the mountains.
- Gloves. You're going to be holding onto and sliding your hand along a metal cable. We found some inexpensive gardening gloves with sticky rubber on the fingers and palm. Not necessary, but we liked them!
- Professional Guide. Our guide was able to provide harnesses, via Ferrata gear, and helmets.

Via Ferrata season in the Dolomites begins in early summer and on into the end of September. Of course, route access depends on the conditions and how big of a snow year the Dolomites had. Our Dolomites adventure was during the first week of July.
A true year-round outdoor playground is a place called Mammoth Lakes, CA. The scenery is stunning any time of year and there are so many options for adventurous travelers!
Mammoth Lakes is a fairly compact town at the base of Mammoth Mountain Resort which means getting around town can be done fairly easily. There is a free shuttle system throughout town that runs year-round and efficiently transports guests from town to areas such as the Main Lodge, which is the jumping off point for the summer shuttle to Devil’s Postpile National Monument and Reds Meadow, or over to Twin Lakes and other lakes beyond for fishing, hiking, and more outdoor pursuits. And, of course, in winter, a shuttle ride is offered to both alpine and cross country ski areas.
While in Mammoth Lakes last week, I made it a point to check out The Village Lodge, which is part of the Mammoth Mountain Resort properties. While the condos are all individually owned, the Resort manages most of the condos as vacation rentals. That means you have access to these spacious and comfortable condos, can stay in one of the best locations in town, and enjoy the many amenities at the Lodge!
The Village Lodge is in the heart of the Village at the base of Mammoth Mountain. In the winter, the gondola runs right out of the village and gets you onto the mountain!
There are 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom condos available, all with full kitchens. The number of bathrooms in each unit matches the number of bedrooms. Perfect for each room getting their own bathroom!

Spring break, 2018, and we packed up the van and headed down Hwy 395 for some backcountry ski touring, the kids' first ski touring trip!
I love the drive on Hwy 395 - incredible views of snow-covered peaks, idyllic ranches, canyons, rivers, and lakes.
We camped near Virginia Lakes, halfway between Bridgeport and Mono Lake. After settling into our home-away-from-home and taking care of dinner, we now had some quality family time to spend together!

We brought two games with us and it worked brilliantly! A deck of cards and BANANAGRAMS.
The kids played the classic Go Fish card game while the parents were busy with camp set up. And, they were also able to play their own version of Banagrams. Kids excited to spell words correctly - love it! OK, so there were a few imperfections, but, they were still excited about spelling.
Banagrams also serve as handy chips for a cut-throat game of poker!
Bonus! You can play poker and spell words at the same time! We anted up words such as "rage", "deer", and "cash".

Another successful aspect of the trip was a "for real" ski tour with the kids! Our intrepid leader found a wonderfully wind-protected gully and we kept the pace appropriate for our some-what novice backcountry skiers. A few gummy bears helped the spirits soar. At the top of the saddle, we took in the views, transitioned quickly, and smiled all the way down in the lovely spring corn snow!
Is there more to Panama than the Panama Canal? Why, yes. Yes there is!
Panama is for adventure seekers. Panama is for sun lovers. And, as the latest Visit Panama campaign states: Panama, for explorers, not for tourists!
I am spending time learning all about adventure travel options in Panama and Panama has climbed to the top of my Bucket List! Why? Because I want to hike in a cloud forest, spot sloth and brilliantly colored birds in a jungle. I want to play in the waves at an uncrowded Caribbean AND Pacific beach all in the same vacation. There are over 5 million acres of protected lands in the National Parks, including National Marine Parks. Bring on the hiking and snorkeling! And, how about some sea kayaking from island to island?
Fun facts about Panama:

My favorite time in Alaska. Going wild!
We spent a week in Alaska.
We caught big fish!
We saw amazing scenery and wildlife.
Alaska is increbily beautiful.
For all the sights we saw, places we visited, and people we met, the most special time filled with memories was an overnight in a backcountry cabin with our own private beach on Resurrection Bay.
Much like a lot of our week on the Kenai Peninsula, it was raining. Life goes on. We jumped off the platform of the water taxi and onto our own private beach for the next 24 hours. It was beautiful. It was quiet. Back from the beach, we were surrounded by a lush temperate rainforest.

Our cabin for the night was a cozy one room affair with a loft and beautiful artwork on the walls. What more do you need for a family of 4? A bathroom, I guess, which was available about 10 feet away outside.
The cabin was only for eating and sleeping. We were there for adventure! We prepped two double kayaks, got or fishing gear ready, and took off from the beach for hours of fishing in the rain. This is where the magic happened!
The cabin was only for eating and sleeping. We were there for adventure! We prepped two double kayaks, got or fishing gear ready, and took off from the beach for hours of fishing in the rain. This is where the magic happened!
We were together, on Resurrection Bay, with no one else around. The sky was a blanket of clouds with a constant drizzle of rain and the water was steely grey and calm. It was wild.
For safety and ease of fishing, we kept the two kayaks close together. We didn't have to go far from our beach for the fishing action to begin! The kids caught rockfish, black bass and little lingcod. Eric and I caught fish, too, when we weren't helping the kids with their lines or re-baiting.
We found one spot that was non-stop action! We all laughed when we all had fish on the line at the same time. And this happened more than once! We couldn't stop laughing at a little black bass that kept coming back to the lure, even though the lure was out of the water, that bass jumped out of the water trying to get it!
We were so busy fishing, paddling, and having fun together, I never took a picture. We were out there for hours. Talking, fishing, story-telling, making jokes. It was just plain fun.

The secret to keeping everyone happy while fishing from kayaks in the rain? Good gear!
Rubber boots, solid rain pants, rubber rain jackets, solid rain hats with a wide brim, and waterproof gloves. When you don't feel the water on your hands and you don't have rain falling on your face, you hardly notice it's raining at all!
The evening was spent playing cards by lantern light and warming up with soup and a hot dinner. Warm beds made for a good night's sleep.

In the morning we were treated to a low tide (big tide changes in Alaska, 20ft+!) and the chance for tide pool exploration. I love hearing the kids saying, "Whoa!" and "Look at this, you gotta come look at this!" The wonder and amazement that comes from exploring the world around you can't be beat.
When we jumped back on our water taxi that afternoon, we took with us memories of joy, playing wild, and having fun together as a family.
