Perkinson Family Alaska Holiday
Hopefully regular updates on our trip of a lifetime!
Loving every minute of being in Vancouver!
Today consisted of feeling like a tourist and pointing out while getting way too excited whenever we saw a squirrel or a raccoon, walking around Stanley Park for the day and eating ice cream up at the Lions Gate Bridge lookout. We then headed to Jericho beach for dinner – where we continued to get way too excited about squirrels…
Anyways enough of that, here are some highlights!

Tuesday 18 June
We arrived in Vancouver before the time we had even left Auckland, on the same day (cause of the time difference)! We arrived around 3pm. Ben and Jane Pickles were at the airport waiting for us, picked us up and we loaded ourselves and our gear into a minivan they had hired to fit us all in. We unpacked a little and then went for a walk around the Endowment Lands which is a forest and Queen Elizabeth Park near the Pickles’ house. Tom cooked us a lovely dinner; salmon with 3 lovely salads! Relaxing evening and an early night.
23 years ago, Ross and Chris cycled for a year for our honeymoon and our favourite place was Alaska. We have dreamed ever since of taking our kids there and we can hardly believe that it’s happening! We get to meet up with awesome people we met while cycling and others. We can’t wait to hang out with everyone and create memories of a lifetime!
