Nearly 1 million cruise ship passengers will pass through Juneau, Alaska between May 7 and September 27, 2007. I get to show some of them around this beautiful state in a 40-foot motor coach.
I just started my second season as a driver/guide for Holland America Tours/Gray Line of Alaska. Julie joins me in June after graduating from Western Washington University. Julie and I got our Commercial Driver License in 2005 and worked for the company that summer, covering all of the highway tours in the Anchorage area. In 2006, I spent the summer as a photo intern for the Skagit Valley Herald in Mount Vernon, Wash. Julie was a counselor for the YMCA. We decided to move back to Juneau because we knew that we would get good hours and also be home every night, rather than being on the road for hours on end. Either way, we're here for the good money from the crazy overtime hours -- we work upwards of 80 hours per week -- and to meet new people. The money is going for our travels abroad to South America this September.

Hi Chris!
I told all of small group to venture over here and say hello to you. We sure do miss you. Your wife did a really great job with the group lesson last night, thanks for letting us keep for a while!
We eagerly await more Alaska adventure stories.
Great!! I saw that you told them to check it out. Let people know about it if it ever comes up. I will post whenever possible. See ya.
