Making Dreams Come True

Almost everyone has that list of places that they would love to go sometime in their life. For me, one of those places was Australia. In Fall of 2000, when Greg and I decided to take one last big trip before buying a house, we fulfilled one of my travel dreams when we spent eight amazing days "Down Under," in Sydney, Australia.

Although his list is not as long as mine, Greg has his travel dreams, as well. One has always been to go on an Alaskan cruise. Given the climate, that trip is one that has a very short window during any given years. Cruise lines only really go to Alaska from May through late September. We attempted to do take an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon. With a wedding in the second week of October, there was not one cruise line still sailing to Alaska. So, it would have to wait until another time.

Twelve and a half years, and several vacations later, thanks to a "little" perk of my work and a dash of luck, we are days away from setting out on Greg's dream vacation: Seven amazing days and nights cruising the inside passage of Alaska. (And what better way to do it than with a little touch of Disney?!) Follow us on our journey as we explore Alaska aboard the Disney Wonder -- and make one of Greg's travel dreams come true!
