Anyway, back to the holiday. After Alaska, I flew to New York for 10 days and had a fantastic time. It was incredibly busy, but there was so much to see and do. Spent a couple of days just walking around Central Park - it's enormous, and went to Central Park Zoo. Saw Mamma Mia on Broadway, went to the top of the Empire State Building, went on a harbour cruise, saw the Statue of Liberty, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and basically all of the touristy things.

I did promise photos of my gorgeous puppy - Holly. She's a 6 year old Maltese and is spoilt rotten.

After 2 weeks on the bus tour there was a 7 day cruise to Alaska with stops at Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway. In Juneau I went dog sledding, not on snow, but on a wheeled cart. Our view was very much like the one pictured. In Skagway went for a drive in a golf cart type of thing (called a Mule) and saw a wild bear which was fantastic.

After a week in San Francisco I flew to Vancouver and did a bus tour of the Rocky Mountains. The scenery was incredibly beautiful - one amazing view (like the one pictured) after another. Tho only bad thing was that I missed out on seeing a moose which I really would have loved to see.

Last year I travelled in the USA & Canada for 6 weeks. Started off in San Francisco, did all the usual tourist things - walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Alcatraz Island etc.

This is my first ever attempt at blogging. It's mostly about my recent travels, with the occasional photo of my incredibly photogenic dog - Holly!
