Hi Pam, thank you. actually, if I can buy it somehwere else, I probably don't want it. I was hopeing for some "gold nugget/gold in quartz", something unique to alaska. I also have a charm bracelet, one charm for every year after my checkup. This year I didn't get one as I figured I'd get something from Alaska.

I'm very interested in the gold rush days. The things I really want to see are Dolly's House and the Red Onion Saloon. I've also booked a tour that Radisson doesn't offer, it's a gold panning/salmon bake in Juneau. You go gold panning for maybe 45 min and then off to a Salmon Bake dinner with a show of some kind from the gold rush era. Then you can walk over to some falls or something. I wanted to do the Takau Lodge thing, but I had to choose, Takau or gold panning tour, I opted for the gold panning/dinner.

The one thing I must say that I'm disappointed in, is that you don't get actual times for the group tours from Radisson. It says am or pm, I did manage to call around and find the tour ops they use and they gave me the times for the Radisson tours.

Can't do the heli tours as they say you can't bring a handbag, or backpack on board and hubby won't leave his camera equipment and I won't leave my handbag so that was a no go. I called the heli tour ops and they confirmed this :(
