This trip was planned and booked all the way at the beginning of the year, so finally making it to Anchorage was such an exciting moment for us! On this trip, we hopped aboard our very first cruise together (joined by my sister and my brother-in-law’s family), so we’ll be taking you along the coast of Southeast Alaska as we enjoy a week-long Alaskan cruise from Seward to Vancouver. Catch you all next Saturday, as we board our ship for some more epic adventures in Alaska!!!
We had to skip ahead to watch this one because we were too excited and it was AMAZING! The glacier helicopter ride was insane! 😍 Cannot wait to see more of Alaska through y'alls eyes!
Thank you so much, Kathyrn and Adam!!! 💗💗💗 Your Alaska series definitely got us SUPER excited as we counted down the days to our own trip! 🥰
You should see more of Alaska through the locals eyes - take up ATV guides that go through the trails, rent a car and just drive the state and stop in local businesses. Explore the state and see the people we see every day.
Thanks for the great memories! We visited the same glacier and got the Baked Alaska ice cream. Both experiences will swim in my happy memories forever.
So fun watching you guys explore our home! Glad you were able to see the glacier on a cloudy day!
Can't believe you both live in Alaska- what an epic state to call home! We were also thrilled by the cloudy weather. It allowed such amazing visibility on the glacier!!!
I always love seeing people experience Alaska for the first time. That’s my home state! Glad you got to see a glacier but landing on it is totally different! Very cool! - Cory
Omg what a wonderful place to visit. Just seeing nature up close makes this trip so much more special. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching! We certainly felt very fortunate to have been able to visit such a magical place!!! 💗💗💗
Imagine seeing a baby moose just chillin' in your yard like a random squirrel. 😮💨
Club Paris is magnificent. Excellent advice to go there. Glacier brewhouse up the block, ginger, and orso are all great too
Beautiful video you guys! Definitely made us want to travel to Alaska! 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for watching!!! 💗
You're very welcome! More power to your channel @@ChadandClaire!
Looks incredible! The scenery looks almost spooky with all the clouds and mist. And the food looks really good!
Absolutely- it certainly carried a slightly eerie vibe, kind of like the Pacific Northwest! 👻 We loved being amongst the fog; it felt like we dove head first into spooky season! 😁
Guys thanks for sharing Alaska.🐻🐻 Love your channel. You are always so happy and up beat. Stay safe and have fun exploring Alaska. Cheers. 🍦🍦🤠
Thank you for your support towards what we do! So glad we're able to share our journey together with you! 💗
moving to Anchorage soon cant wait
What a bea utiful State. The views of the glaciers and the winding rivers were great. Loved the great food that you had. The King Crab legs and delicious fried halibut were heavenly. Claire’s sister with her husband’s family were great additions to your Alaskan adventures.
Indeed!!! Great views and fantastic food?! We certainly can't complain hahaha. We're huge fans of seafood, so we were very pleased with the many seafood options on the menu. We feel extremely grateful to have shared this adventure with our family- trips only get better when spent with loved ones! 💗
You guys are such a cute couple! Thanks for the beautiful contents!
Just a heads up, you should probably change the title to: "Best Things to Do For Rich People"
Alaska is amazing 😊
Truly a place unlike any other!!!
So am i
Me and my fiancé are going to honeymoon here next month! Thank you for this video we are so excited ☺️
I live here. And you have to take the short drive to Girdwood it's only like 20 minutes south of Anchorage. Very beautiful little mountain town on the ocean with a ski resort and many great restaurants and cafes. One of a kind. Also if you guys like bars. Go to Kootz (chilkoot Charlie's) world famous many celebrities have been there. The beer in Alaska is on par with Washington or Oregon, many local small micro breweries. Coffee, beer, and seafood is a big thing here. Also try some of the Kaladis Brothers cafes around town for great ambience and good coffee. Also go to the Kobuk in downtown Anchorage it's an amazing local gift and art shop with a coffee shop inside. Glacier brew house is a great local restaurant with local foods and micro brewed beers as well as award winning chefs. Highly recommend. I 100% recommend 49th State brewery downtown it's 3 floors of micro brewery/ restaurant/ balcony overlooking the ocean, amazing food super creative menu unlike anywhere I've ever soon. A bunch of different local beers and drinks. And the inside is so cool looking. Also a must see for anyone visiting is a short drive up flat top mountain, you can see the whole city of Anchorage from up there. It's very beautiful. Also hiking some easy trails through the city is Campbell Creek trail system. I recommend the Campbell airstrip road part. Also check kincaid park out. It's amazing. In west Anchorage you have to check out lake hood for the float planes. It is the most trafficked small plane landing and taking off lake in the world. As well as point worinzoff you can see the ocean and the huge international freight and passenger planes landing and taking off right over your head. Also a short drive north to the suburb/mountain town of Eagle River is amazing. Very scenic lots of good restaurants there as well. It's only like 20 minutes north of Anchorage. Skyline drive is a drive up the mountains in eagle River. If you truly want an amazing nature drive through mountainous valleys unlike anywhere, also do the eagle River nature center drive. It's very close to Anchorage, and one word describes it. EPIC. i see bears, moose, and Lynx every time I drive it. One more thing close to town. Drive to Eklutna Lake, it's where Anchorage draws it's drinking water from it's a super beautiful natural glacier lake on the bottom of mountains. It's so natural looking it's like green almost. I hope you guys have an amazing honeymoon. Enjoy Anchorage, and Alaska the 49th State! Good luck guys I'm sure you'll have many memories and fun here.
Wow’
Beautiful video...can't say enough about the majestic animals you've seen up close. That alone makes Alaska a must see. My home state is known for great fish fries(Wisconsin) but your ff dinner has us beat hands down. Thanks for another great story...keep glaciering! 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Alaska is home is such a breadth of wildlife, and we're so grateful to have been able to see some of the native animals up close! Wisconsin is one of the states we've been wanting to visit together. We want to taste that famous Wisconsin frozen custard!!! 😁
@@ChadandClaire Thank you for your interest in Wisconsin...we'd be happy to have you here. It's a pretty state...our custard is delicious..and our other foods, i.e. cheese curds are pretty good too. Any way I can help...let me know!
Blue Chad, you’re right and so am I! 😂
The helicopter ride looked like Avatar but icy. 🤩 🩵
Loved the video, just discovered you guys!
Also, where did you get your purple long sleeve shirt? Its so nice!
I visited in 2018 to obtain a float plane rating on my pilots licence. Stayed at the Lakeside Hotel at Lake Hood. Had a blast, loved every second and in September the climate was a lot better than I expected. The locals are fantastic, they say "Can do" and it gets done.
Recommended if you want something a little different. One tip, there are no Bureau de Change facilities anywhere in Alaska. Make sure you can fund your trip before you arrive.
Look at you two - 60 thousand subscribers already! Keep going...
We can hardly believe it ourselves! 🤯 Hahaha so grateful to have such a kind and supportive community!!! 🥰
I 😩don't understand why my channel have less Subcribers
Awesome video. Im from here and you guys checked some great spots out. My mom used to work at Club Paris. They have the best voted filet in Anchorage. Its a well known steakhouse. There other food is amazing to. Great choice on 49th state brewary that place is awesome! You guys make great videos. Im surprised theres not more views they are very well done.
It’s uploaded! Worth the wait! Thanks for the email reply!
Ah, yes, Ricky- it's finally up! Hahaha thank you so much for your endless support. We are so honored to be a part of your morning routine!!! 😁 Keep up those daily four miles! 😉
@@ChadandClaire I certainly will! I am waiting by myself in Houston airport for my flight back to upstate NY, and it really hit the spot! Haha! Now, if I can only find some of that delicious crab here while I’m waiting 🤔 lol probably not lol. Looking forward to your next one. Have a great night ☺️
So beautiful up there. Looks cold but not too bad yet. All the food looked so tasty. We’ll worth the wait for this video. Love all your links for the places you two visited. I have a nephew stationed in Alaska for the Airforce He’s been there for 2 1/2 yrs. Almost done with 5 yrs of service. He extended by a yr since he took a 3 yr assignment there
Love that you guys got to land on a glacier. Super cool. Have a great week ❤❤
Thank you so much for waiting and for watching!!! 💗 It seems like lots of military folk have been stationed in Alaska at some point or are currently stationed there now! It's certainly not too bad of a place to be stationed, except for the winters, apparently haha. Wishing you a wonderful week and a fantastic autumn season!
@@ChadandClaire thank you and yes. Winters are unreal where my nephew is. Way below zero. Not my weather lol. The elk walk around the base all the time and is super cool.
Wanted to ask, how many stories is that cruise ship? Your room was a really good size for a cruise ship. You two have a blessed week❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing good video my friends. I wish good health and a nice day. Greetings from Siberia...
Thank you so much for watching!!! Wishing you good health in return. Wow- Siberia! What a place to live!!!
Great video! What hotel did you stay in Anchorage? Going there next year and want to explore Anchorage.
❤Amazing video, with beautiful views, and delicious looking meals. Oh, Chad, I know what a sicle is, have actually used one ☺️🌾🇨🇦
Thank you so much!!! Very cool that you've been able to use a sickle in real life! I'm assuming to cut or harvest grain? 😁
Yes, probably showing my age but used one growing up on a farm.
You are in Anchorage for 48 hours and know the best things to do? That is impressive... I have been here for 45 years and keep finding new and different things!
Because they have lots of money they can do it all
They bought their experiences.
Most of this isn't even in Anchorage itself -_- I'd rather take our RZR to the Glacier out in Jim Creek any day!
Influencers smh 🤦
you have to really experience alaska to appreciate it
While you're in Anchorage go over to Cuddy Park and commune with the bums in the homeless camps. Or you could hangout with the inebriates that sleep in the bushes along A Street in front of the Wal-Mart. If you want some light-hearted comedic entertainment, see if you can attend an Assembly meeting--loads of fun and a laugh a minute!
😂 knew I'd find a fellow resident in the comments
Hi!
1. Miss yall, so fun to follow yalls adventure!
2. How's the affordability of Alaska? When I went to Iceland I had sticker shock once I got there, because the prices are inflated because everything needs to be imported. Is Alaska affordable or does it have some of the same problems as Iceland?
Hello, hello! Miss you, too- it's certainly been a while! I would definitely say that Alaska is one of the most expensive states to visit. Any place with such magnificent, untouched, natural beauty comes with a hefty price tag haha. Food, accommodations, transportation, and experiences will all be on the more expensive side, especially when comparing prices to the lower 48 states. However, I think similar to Iceland, there are still ways to stick to a tighter budget; you just might have to really search for those more affordable experiences and accommodations. I know a lot of budget travelers recommend roadtripping the state- maybe even traveling out of a vehicle that doubles as a place to sleep! If we weren't joining my sister on a family vacation, we probably would have traveled the state in a converted van to save money!
Could you possibly share your Itinerary? Thanks 😊
water in alaska is much better then the lower 48
Welcome to my Home 🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸
which month was this?
What hotel is this?
I just got home from 3 weeks in Alaska.
How incredible- you probably got to see a bit of autumn foliage as well! Did you enjoy your time there? 😁
@@ChadandClaire Yes but in Ontario Canada where I live, the fall colors are much more impressive then Alaska. More variety of trees. The maple tree itself has many different types and colours.. We seen lots of different glaciers in glacier Bay. Visited a gold rush saloon the Red Onion. Went to a dog sled kennel and rode in a 4x4 being pulled by the dogs. Seen the top of Mt Dennelli which is usually not visible because it is higher then the clouds and is the tallest mountain in North America. It is a great place to visit. Yucky part was I got sick three days before the flight home and tested positive for Covid when I got home.
My cousin asked me why I bought bottled water after I moved up here., and educated me. Since then, I have been filling up my gallon water bottle from the faucet since.😮💨
Name of your stay in Anchorage? Do you recommend to rent a car ?
As an Anchorage resident of over 20 years I can honestly say the best thing to do in Anchorage is… leave.
There’s nothing in Anchorage worth spending time seeing.
15 minutes outside of town you’ll start seeing things that will amaze you.
Nothing in Anchorage can do that.
As soon as you land in Anchorage pick up a rental car, grab any supplies you need and go explore Alaska.
Dextor Morgan’s kid is making travel videos now?? Last season wasn’t that bad.. Jesus..
contorl yourself before you control others....................
Are you Filipino
I am Taiwanese-American!!!
I've lived in Alaska for almost 50 years. I'm sorry to say seeing this video doesn't make me smile. So much liquid water on that glacier, wasn't normal when I first moved here. Our glaciers are rapidly melting due to climate change.
I couldn't help but thank Because I see both of you as very sensitive carrying people. But I can't help but think that taking a helicopter ride to see a glacier that is most definitely Slipping away because of global warming, And I know that 1 helicopter is probably Way down On the list a queer global Emissions come from. How do you cause reconcile your travel with the climate change crisis. And hosting hosting about going there. For me I like to see where you go and you guys are a very engaging Couples
