\"oatmeal\"
The Westmark hotel in Skagway had coffee makers in the room, and we got an unexpected boon from Jackie in the form of instant oatmeal packets. Basically, we didn’t have to pay Skagway prices for breakfast (the hotel breakfast buffet was $18.95), and just made oatmeal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

7 am was “bags out” time, meaning that any bags that we wanted the tour company to transport had to be sitting outside the room. I think we won the contest for smallest checked baggage, with the front 2 bags for Merrianne and Roderick, with the rear 2 bags for Jackie and Steve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"wait
Justin, our tour guide, advised us that we would be walking ONE block to the train station. Someone in our group was unable to make the walk, so he said that anyone who had trouble could be ferried over by Samantha (on the right in the picture).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Tonya?\"
In case you wondered what Tonya Harding was doing nowadays…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"steep
The train ride was outstanding. It was a narrated tour, but those who wanted to could go outside to the platforms between cars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"rail
One thing to remember is that the whole train is riding on rails spaced less than 3 feet apart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
