Another short Adventure, Phoenix to Whitehorse

Whoohoo, I'm flying to Phoenix tomorrow to pick up a 2007 Fleetwood Terra LX 31M. This one is for ME, finally :) It'll be another very quick trip, unfortunately, but a great adventure nonetheless. The only deviation from the shortest route possible will be a detour via the Icefields Parkway, and the only real stops with be Sweetgrass for the importation paperwork, Lethbridge for the Canucks modifications, and Calgary to see my daughter and grand-daughters. I'll be blogging the entire trip, of course, though much of it won't be done until I get home in about a week.

The trip down consists of a 90-minute drive to Skagway, 45 minutes in a Cessna to Juneau, 3 hours in Juneau, a 3-hour flight to Seattle, 2 hours in Seattle, and a 3-hour flight to Phoenix. Phew! :)

  • Have a safe trip. Hopefully the highway will be re-opened when you get up to Whitehorse. Saw on tonight's news that it was closed today due to the fires.

  • Vancouver adds a hundred bucks or so to it (but saves a couple of hours), but as you can no doubt imagine, going through Skagway and Juneau is VERY interesting :)
  • Holy mackerel....that`s a long itinerary!!! Why not Whitehorse -Vancouver- Phoenix....more costly!!???
