Trip to Alaska, Seattle and California June 2014

North to Alaska

I have recorded below our trip from Auckland New Zealand to Alaska, Seattle and California in June 2014. Brain, Anne Brent and Marie, we are two couples from Auckland New Zealand.  This is not our first trip together and we have previously travelled to the USA.

I have reversed the chronological order, the latest entry below is the first day.

I have used some of my own photos, but have also plunderer the internet to fill in the gaps.

Above is one of my photos

This is my first attempt at a Blog, initially I just wanted to have somewhere to post a few photos, but having seen how many people have looked at  the Blog I am now inspired to add to what I have already posted.

So, come back from time to time as I add to my entries.

I look forward to your comments.

When I was school age, which is getting back forty years plus ago growing up in Tauranga, I remember my grandparents went and gave presentations to Service Clubs etc. of their overseas trips. They travelled extensively and were accomplished photographers, they enjoyed presentations, but most of the audience felt it was boring. We would not consider doing slide evenings today, so this is me following in their footsteps. This was the days (1960s and 1970s)when international air travel was still unusual and digital photography had not been thought of.

What I know as The Levers Road Hall, now called Matua Hall where the sort of venue for the old time slideshows.
