Music: Rien de Rien -Edith Piaff, Funiculi Funicula -Luciano Pavarotti, Bizet's Carmen -Waldo de los Rios. Dad loved all these great pieces of music. Ten years ago, we embarked on a journey that would change our lives and our relationship. My father and I bonded man to man for the first time rather than as father and son. Three weeks on the road in a beat-up truck with incredible scenery around every curve, the midnight sun that never went down... Crossing the Arctic Circle on the Dempster Highway was the high point of the trip for me, and ever since that trip both me and my father remembered it as the trip of a lifetime, and the best trip that either of us had ever been on. In later years, I asked him if he'd like to do it again, and his enthusiasm seemed to be declining every time I brought it up. I think it was 2003 when I asked again. He said he'd need to fly into Whitehorse because he didn't want to drive all the way through BC again. By last year he just wasn't into it at all anymore. This year, and on this day I cherish the memories... I will take that trip again someday, but it just won't be the same with dear ol' DAd...Yukon

IR-DVD-101 - Experience Alaska on the Spirit and Enjoy Alaska as Carnival Cruise Lines only can. On this episode of GREAT CRUISES we sail the Inside Passage to Alaska. We start in Vancouver, Canada, and visit Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Valdez and Seward. We're cruising on one of the "Fun Ships" of Carnival, The "SPIRIT." We'll enjoy many of the shore excursions, including a breathtaking helicopter ride to one of the largest glaciers in the world; river rafting; a train ride up the old Klondike Trail of 1898; whale watching; and even try our hand at sportfishing. All of this and more, as we experience Alaska on GREAT CRUISES.We begin our journey in Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world. With mountain vistas nearby, lush parklands, and crystal clear bays, it's easy to see why its spectacular downtown skyline seems so extraordinarily beautiful! Our first port of call is Ketchikan a delightful little community nestled in amongst the mountains of Alaska.Along the way - * Visit Ketchikan * Board a specially constructed high-speed catamaran to participate in another Alaskan tradition - whale watching at Auke (aye-uke) Bay . * Spend a day at sea, working our way up the Alaskan panhandle, where our next port of call is the charming little town of Skagway * Explore Valdez, also known as the "Little Switzerland" of Alaska. * Go rafting on the Lowe River. * Explore the wilderness in a helicopter, fly up Keystone Canyon. * Leisurely explore magnificent Prince William Sound and College Fjord as the Spirit inches her way past ancient glaciers and newly calved icebergs.On every fun ship there's plenty to do and the Spirit is no exception. When the ship is out at sea the casino is in full swing. You can dance the night away in many of the lounges or in the disco. If you've had a bit too much to eat, or are worried about your waistline, then spend a little time in the Nautica Spa. And you can shop till you drop for souvenirs for friends back home or perhaps a special gift just for you.
