Anchorageite here! 🙋 You didn't miss much by not going to the top of Flat Top. It looks like the surface of the Moon and really isn't that pretty. The whole reason people go up there is to see the amazing view of the Inlet and the rest of Anchorage from up high. Since it was so cloudy, you wouldn't have been able to see that. Also, it's a pretty rough hike up to the top and even tougher going down especially when you can't see. I have seen people fall and it's pretty terrifying. You got to see some of the best of Anchorage scenery while you were here so you definitely lucked out! Hope you come back soon and get to see more of it! I have always said Alaska doesn't know how to be ugly. Sounds like you found that out first hand! 💙
I like you and your vlogs. I enjoy but would like to see more of the cities you stay in. You seem to really appreciate the opportunities your career affords you. And I find you personable and genuine. Good luck with all your endeavors.
Julia, I love golden retrievers! They are the friendliest dogs in the world, to me! I had had one that someone dropped off when I lived in a rural area! It was a female and pregnant! I remember ( this was several years ago) that she had 14 cute little puppies! I had to give all of them away!! Mother dog died of heart worms , so we had to get rid of the puppies because of limited space! The pictures of Alaska were great!
Beautiful up there in Anchorage!! As always, thank you for taking us along!! ALSO!!! I couldn’t help but notice that you hit the 125k subscriber mark! 🙂❤️ That is so awesome!! Just watched another RUclipsr as he did a live broadcast when he hit the 10M subscriber mark. He was bawling! I was bawling! It was so freaking awesome!! I know you’ve mentioned that you don’t necessarily watch your subscriber numbers. Buy I just want to say that I’m SO HAPPY for you!! It’s been a pleasure to watch your channel grow. I’ve been a subscriber for well over a year and you’re one of my absolute favorite FA vlogers to watch because I know it’s authentic and real. And of course, Luna always brings a smile!! Have a blessed week!! ❤️✈️
I'm happy you were safe and made such a wise choice regarding your hike! Your attitude is inspiring. Thanks for sharing about what happened with the excursion, and how you made the most out of a disappointing experience! I find your content super hopeful and encouraging!
Hi Julia. Welcome to my home. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. You made a wise decision to turn around and not push on just to reach the mountain summit. You can always try again sometime. Alaska has so much to offer for an outdoors person like yourself and I hope you return many times to explore. I was born here in Alaska and in my 68 years I've traveled much of the state. Either by flying myself, or river boats, snow mobile, and hundreds of miles just walking. There is always something new to see that just takes your breath away. Come back again soon.
Julia I recommend Matanuska Glacier Tour out of Anchorage. It is an 8 hour day tour for $299. You get to walk on it with 2 guides using crampons. Matanuska Glacier is one of the most scenic in all of Alaska!!! Btw…thank you for always expressing your humbleness for your explanations! 🙏 Julia, you can do no wrong in my book!
As someone who lives here (on the hillside below Hilltop) - you highlighted something that so many visitors to this state mistaken when planning something. Time and travel. This is a big state. Guessing that boat ride you were going to do was out of Whittier. Even their time estimates cannot anticipate rockslides on the Seward highway, or a wreck, or other factor that can make that drive between here and there even longer. There is a very good chance indeed that you would probably have not made it back in time. Having said that, if you get a long enough lay over? Do it. You will not regret seeing the glaciers, maybe some whales or other wildlife.
Just now seeing this video! I'm so happy you could come to Anchorage, Alaska! I've lived here since 1971. I'm sorry to hear about your cancelled boat trip. It is a very fun, beautiful excursion. I try to take out of state family on that boat ride. I have more to tell you but will do so later today, 10-29-22. 🙂🤗🌺💕✌
I LOVE Anchorage. My Alaska trip was wonderful. I bought some beautiful native art pieces at a gallery there and love seeing them every day. The gallery was even more special because all the art is done by those in recovery from drugs, alcohol, or both. Wonderful talents.
Looks like you’ve definitely earned a hearty and fabulous dinner !!! And I couldn’t be more jealous !! Your living what I should’ve became 30 years ago and I’m so happy I can see it threw your eyes !! Thanks for taking us along !!!!
You make a good point about excursions. It’s all about what they don’t tell you. My favorite part was the hike. It was so insanely beautiful. Great Vlog as always!❤️👍✈️
Sorry about the lost money for The tour that you were unable to cancel. On another note I absolutely positively enjoyed this video I watched it like three times now! The scenery is just beautiful. I grew up in Michigan now living in Texas so I miss the fall colors. So I really enjoyed the colors in the video from the trees. I’m going to make it to Alaska one of these days.❤
I live in Anchorage and have done the Flat Top Trail and you are completely correct on how tough of a hike it is. I totally don't blame you for turning around where you did. It can actually get pretty dangerous, especially if you're tired and the clouds are out. Glad you got a chance to get out and see some of the beauty that surrounds us here.
What a breathtaking hike, the colors of the flora and fauna were absolutely stunning, but I must admit, the grandfather in me was worried that you were in the middle of nowhere all by yourself, glad you decided to turn around, you certainly are one fortunate young lady to experience so many wonderful places.
I loved ANC and FAI layovers. What type of aircraft does AA fly from DFW and ANC? I agree, the area is so unbelievable. Glad you had a good time. Kudos Julia.
I encourage you being safe in Alaska! Hope you had fun! Nice trip!! At video time 4:33, you look very nice as flight attendant 👩✈️. I could join your flight one day, but my brother couldn’t handle it. Heart my comment
How a gorgeous scenery !!..I wish I could be there. I love cold and autumn with an open air. Alaska is the best place undisputed where the riot of colors also fascinates me with wonderful unique animals.🍁
What an awesome Trip julia. 🥰 the views from your hike of the Autumn colours was Breathtaking gorgeous ❤ Yes very wise decision to turn back,that mist might have cleared but then not beter to be safe 🙏 Thats so annoying you couldn’t get your money back 😮 ( indeed the excursion company should have made the details much much clearer) yes we all make mistakes nothing wrong in that ,we sure learn. How was your cruise with Eric ? Have a Great week. Give Luna a Cuddle 🥰
Great video, Julia! That hike was beautiful - on my last trip to Alaska, I took the drive down the Kenai Peninsula from Anchorage to Seward & back - really stunning scenery. It was pretty much a full day trip in a rental car, but well worth it - I highly recommend it. On my first trip to Alaska, which was a fam trip (I work in travel), they took us up to Kotzebue and Nome in the Arctic, but up there it's mostly spongy tundra with no trees, so I wouldn't recommend that until you had seen all the beauty in other parts of the state. We did, one morning, get to meet one of the founders of the Iditarod race - he was training his Husky puppies on the shores of the Bering Sea outside Nome - those puppies were soooo cute! BTW, I love Luna, and you are such a good Mama to her; she's always so excited when you come home.
We went to Anchorage with our 4 boys. I made us all turn around at that same spot. They still give me a hard time. There are several routes to take to the top- but that one involves a rock scramble. You can see it on other RUclips videos- adventures of A&K did a good one earlier this year. You still might send an email to trip advisor. Never hurts to try!
Great vlog as always, Julia. What a beautiful layover, all the beautiful scenery, it was breathtaking. I don't blame you at all for turning back on your hike because with the weather possibly turning bad which it did, like the saying goes, better safe then sorry. It was too bad you go on the excursion, but you had a great attitude about it and now you and us know better when we are planning things to do on trips or layovers
Hi Julia, Anchorage looked so beautiful and enjoyed seeing all the scenery. The first hike you went on looked difficult, and you took the shorter hike as well.
Cool coffee mug. Ahhh your at the Sheraton,,,, lol probably drove past u when u opened the window was coming from Jber government hill bout that time. Well enjoyed ur tour. It snowed yesterday here in anchorage,,, it’s 32 today ,,,,,, So you mentioned places to go next time in anchorage, just outside of anchorage there’s a place called the bird fall it’s a short drive 20 minutes going north past eagle river. The hike there is 15-20 minutes then there’s a path downwards to bottom of falls or stay up high on ext board walk. If you drive out past Palmer along highway there are many beautiful views , could possibly walk on glacier. The other direction is south on Seward highway there’s a wild animal rehabilitation center and close to Whittier where it takes you through mountain , tunnel time ,,,,, glacier and mountain scenery , there’s also a hike 30 minutes each way to a glacier /waterfall. Bummer on your $300 lose. I know the feeling has happened to me. I just breathed and tried not thinking bout it. 😂.
Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska , Julia . It’s very beautiful here all year long doesn’t matter what season it is. I hope you have lots of fun while staying here with us. Stay warm and stay safe ❤
Julia, it might be helpful to dispute the charge on your credit card...good chance you'll get it back! Also, I say as a mountain climber, knowing when to turn back is invaluable and comes with experience and intelligence. Good for you for deciding to turn around! Beautiful scenery!
Thank you SO much, Julia. What a BEAUTIFUL journey/hike. You are right - you don't h ave to complete something to enjoy it. Just the memories that you wwer able to make will be carried with you for a LONG time. I'm always humbled by the fact that you're willing to share all of these experiences with us. You could just keep it to yourselfr,, but you chooseto let us in, and for that I'm thankful. Hope things are going well for you. Takecare!
Hi Julia! It’s my first time coming across your channel/videos, and I’m actually from Barrow, Alaska! I have lived in the state all my life (minus the two years I’d gone to Montana State), and really enjoyed seeing you take in Anchorage’s beauty! It’s very fun to see your life as a flight attendant, and I will be following from now on (: . I live in anchorage now, and here are some things I’d recommend: the Rabbit Creek hike is so beautiful and not as challenging as flattop! - also, my fav place to eat dinner is the chicken shack (: if you are not vegetarian, of course! ( although the salads there are pretty damn good as well ) - the museum shows a great deal of Alaska’s history and things us native people have had to endure throughout our legacy, and it is also a lot of fun! - there is also an aviation museum that is just as interesting as the one I’d mentioned above(: I hope you get to come and witness Alaska’s beauty again soon! ❤
A like the turning back for safety sake, the risk was higher than the reward given the visibility it looked like. The city view from the hotel in the morning looked great. We are grateful too, I wouldn't get to see any of Alaska if it wasn't for this. If you want to test your cold tolerance, Barrow would be a good place to do so it looks like.
Hi Julia 👋. What a beautiful but strenuous hike. Sorry to hear about you not getting a refund on your excursion but you have the right attitude, a bum deal but life goes on and it could have been much worse if you had taken it and ended up missing your flight home. You know one attribute of yours that is so heartwarming and endearing to me is your constant sense of gratitude for life's blessings. It is something that all of us should be aware of as it tends to "ground us" to the beauty of life despite any unpleasant circumstances that we all face in our lives. If you ever have a few days to stay in Anchorage( especially between May and September) I would highly recommend taking the "Denali Star" train from Anchorage to Fairbanks. You can just take it to Denali National Park for a day excursion or ride it all the way to Fairbanks(12 hours). It's luxurious with meals served on board. I think that it would be something that you and Eric would enjoy. Alaska, as you have seen is a gorgeous state and most of the residents are so "down to earth" and quite friendly. Take care, please say hi to Eric and Luna. Have a wonderful autumn 🍂 🍁.
Hi Julia. You are absolutely right about not going up there. I’ll tell you I live in Colorado and do a lot of hikes. However most of them are with plenty of people so I know I have people to call for help. You made a great decision and you should feel very accomplishing. Great work!
Hatcher Pass Alaska has lots of trails to hike on. And there is an old gold mine town that has been semi-preserved. It's less than an hour and a half from Anchorage, in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. I take my Labrador Retriever up there all the time in the summer. Note: This is a summer only destination.
OMG I was so excited to watch this video. Alaska is on my bucketlist. Seeing all the beautiful scenery through you're eyes, definitely makes me want to go to Alaska even more. Not sure about the hiking but just being there would be all the more special and wonderful. Thank you for an awesome video.
My goodness, that scenery is otherworldly. Cannot get over it. Oh absolutely, reaching the peak of that mountain matters little, you still conquered major territory and hey 3 miles is nothing to sneeze at! Shame that other excursion didn't pan out. This trip was truly memorable nonetheless! ( I do remember your last visit there..I think you saw some adorable animals). Love the head band and the sweater and the magnet! That looks like it's 3-D! This video is 24 minutes..probably your longest and you know what, it just breezed right along, a great indication of how lovely it is 😊
I think was my longest vlog yet, happy it's receiving such positive feedback from you all. The hike was incredible, even if I didn't make it all the way to the top. Thanks as always for watching!
Alaska the wilderness! Nice hike, good thing there were no wild creatures stirring around mountain lions etc. Glad you were able to make the hike successfully..I like your head scarf that Eric gave you nice touch.
Fantastic vlog as always julia! Great to see miss Luna! I always sleep on the bed closest to the window if im staying in a hotel room. I hate to be too warm at night, plus i love to wake up and see what's going on around me. 🤣 Alaska looked so awsome somewhere id definitely love to go so thank you for taking us along. Hope you've had a fantastic week! The cruise looked amazing too! 😍🛳
Thank you Adam! Alaska was incredible and quite a contrast from the cruise, can’t e is trot those videos to go live too! It’s gonna be a great month ☺️ thank you as always for watching!
I “failed” the incline in Manitou Springs. I’ve hiked a lot in Colorado but I’m pretty sure my heart would have blown up on that endeavor. “Flatlander mistake”: we just laughed and bought the dang t- shirt. The Incline is the real deal. Props to the locals who do it. FYI: son in law was Air Force in Anchorage and loved it.
Hi Julia! I just discovered your channel & I think it's not just fun to watch all these exciting places you visit but very informative as well. I have a family member who works in the recruiting department of a major Northwest airline. I love the free flying with standby. (OK most of the time). My first adventure was to Anchorage. Like you I was blown away by the mountains & scenery. Next Summer I plan to go back since there is so much to see. Denali National Park is next on my list & Thank you for the Elderberry Park idea! Take care, Safe travels & Thank you again for all your wonderful travel videos!
Enjoy the journey Julia!!! Beautiful views❤️ Thank you for your positivity. The daily grind of life can bring us down. Sometimes we need to go out to nature and just enjoy the creation of Mother Nature. Safe travels❤️❤️❤️
Wow, that , scenery was spectacular........but so glad you decided to turn back.......stay well , safe and happy new week.....as always thanks so much for sharing Julia!
What a beautiful trip. I think you made the right decision on turning back when you did. Always go with your gut. The vlogs just get better and better. Scenery is stunning. Luna is a star! And just know we have all lost money in one way or another. It is always gut wrenching. Nobody can really afford to loose. But, always a lesson in it. Till next time!
I really enjoy watching your videos . I’ve seen other flight attendant videos and yours is by far the best. You provide awesome content and watching your videos makes me feel like I’m really there . Thank your u for sharing your life with the rest of the world. I want to go to Alaska . Hopefully soon .
Alaska is so beautiful! I’ve cruised there 3 times and have loved every minute! One day I’d love to do a land and sea package to experience different towns. Thanks for sharing your layover!
This was one of the most enjoyable videos that I ve seen . You are in such amazing shape to navigate that trail...I really needed this pick me up today because I buried my brother yesterday. Thanks again. You are the best. BTW. if you call your cc company you can easily dispute that charge because they weren't clear with the iteniary....and time it takes. I worked for a bank and there is a better than even chance you will win. Many times the bank will eat the charge to keep u happy. Regards. Jb
Glad you had a great trip and hike! Wow, that mountain's elevation is over 12,000ft, so challenging is right! Coming down is as important as climbing up a mountain, so glad you made the right decision! Sorry the glacier excursion couldn't be refunded, especially since they didn't provide clear information, but as you say, at least it didn't turn into a bigger problem if you'd have found out day of. Safe travels!
Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska! Sorry the weather was so dreary when you were here, we've had cloud cover + rain for the better part of 2 months. Less than 1 sunny day per week this fall. Flat top is NO JOKE! Glad you were able to get out and enjoy it! I would caution any hiker to be extremely well prepared and have bear spray with them this time of year (at the minimum) especially if you're going to be out and about by yourself. Bears around here are looking to beef up before winter hibernation and they're not scared of ... anything. Also, I hope the clip of the moose you shared was from farther away than it seemed. This time of year isn't sooo worrisome with moose, as there aren't really mothers out there protecting their baby calf's - but much like bears, the moose aren't afraid and can/will charge you. An amazing walking trail here in Anchorage is the 11 mile long Coastal Trail. It's almost completely on the "coast" with part of the trail boardwalk. It's accessible from downtown, and no matter the time of year, it a pretty walk. If you ever would like to plan to be around a little longer - Talkeetna, Homer, Glennallen, & Palmer all have fun things to see and would afford a day (or, more likely more than) of amazing adventures. Palmer has a neat little downtown area with amazing shops and restaurants. In Anchorage, you can't go wrong with a fish dinner at Humpies, check out Alaska Wild Berry, and various little hole in the wall type of shops that you'll find gifts from local artisans vs. something "Alaska" that came from another country.
First time on your channel very enjoyable you have a very relaxing way your voice is very smooth do you have a beautiful presentation about yourself I look forward to your next video. God bless you☕️🇺🇸
Its getting close to the First Snow Fall. The majority of the Tourists have left. These are the best days to be there; just before the snowfall and the mountains and hills become unaccessable. I can imagine some of the pics you have taken. Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. I'm surprised there are still non stop flights from the Lower 48 to Alaska.
Hi there Julia!👋 Thank you for sharing beautiful Alaska with us! Omg! So glad you didn’t get on that boat lol! Can you imagine the STRESS you would have gone through?😱 See ya next time!🙋♀️😘

My favorite part of your video is your motivational speaking and positive vibe.
That mountain hike was beautiful. I can't imagine it in real life.
Honestly my camera couldn’t do it justice, seriously SO beautiful!
Do you get to Grand Rapids,Michigan?

There's nothing like spending the night in a nice comfy hotel room. Its true.
This is probably one of the most scenic states in the country! Glad you had a great time!

It is the most scenic state in the country.

If you drive out past Palmer along highway there are many beautiful views , could possibly walk on glacier. The other direction is south on Seward highway there’s a wild animal rehabilitation center and close to Whittier where it takes you through mountain , tunnel time ,,,,, glacier and mountain scenery , there’s also a hike 30 minutes each way to a glacier /waterfall. Bummer on your $300 lose. I know the feeling has happened to me. I just breathed and tried not thinking bout it. 😂.
And don't go anywhere by yourself. No more ...💜💜💜💜✨
Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska , Julia . It’s very beautiful here all year long doesn’t matter what season it is. I hope you have lots of fun while staying here with us. Stay warm and stay safe ❤
Julia, it might be helpful to dispute the charge on your credit card...good chance you'll get it back!
Also, I say as a mountain climber, knowing when to turn back is invaluable and comes with experience and intelligence. Good for you for deciding to turn around! Beautiful scenery!
Definitely agree.
I’ve been living in Alaska for 23 years! It’s beautiful ❄️
Thank you SO much, Julia. What a BEAUTIFUL journey/hike. You are right - you don't h ave to complete something to enjoy it. Just the memories that you wwer able to make will be carried with you for a LONG time. I'm always humbled by the fact that you're willing to share all of these experiences with us. You could just keep it to yourselfr,, but you chooseto let us in, and for that I'm thankful. Hope things are going well for you. Takecare!
Happy Sunday Juila Hope you are having a great weekend xoxo 😚 ✈️🍁🍁🎃👻🍃🍃🎃✈️🍁✈️👻🍃👻🧡🍂🍁🍁✈️👻👻🍃🍃👻✈️🍁🍁👻🍃🧡🧡🍂🍁✈️🎃👻👻🍃🍃👻✈️🍁🍁🍂🍂🍁🍃🍃
Thank you Lauren. Hope you are too, happy Sunday! 💚
@@JettingJulia Your welcome thanks Julia ❤
That hike looked stunning! What a fun layover ❄
It really was!!
Hi Julia! It’s my first time coming across your channel/videos, and I’m actually from Barrow, Alaska! I have lived in the state all my life (minus the two years I’d gone to Montana State), and really enjoyed seeing you take in Anchorage’s beauty! It’s very fun to see your life as a flight attendant, and I will be following from now on (: . I live in anchorage now, and here are some things I’d recommend: the Rabbit Creek hike is so beautiful and not as challenging as flattop! - also, my fav place to eat dinner is the chicken shack (: if you are not vegetarian, of course! ( although the salads there are pretty damn good as well ) - the museum shows a great deal of Alaska’s history and things us native people have had to endure throughout our legacy, and it is also a lot of fun! - there is also an aviation museum that is just as interesting as the one I’d mentioned above(: I hope you get to come and witness Alaska’s beauty again soon! ❤
A like the turning back for safety sake, the risk was higher than the reward given the visibility it looked like. The city view from the hotel in the morning looked great. We are grateful too, I wouldn't get to see any of Alaska if it wasn't for this. If you want to test your cold tolerance, Barrow would be a good place to do so it looks like.
Hi Julia 👋. What a beautiful but strenuous hike. Sorry to hear about you not getting a refund on your excursion but you have the right attitude, a bum deal but life goes on and it could have been much worse if you had taken it and ended up missing your flight home. You know one attribute of yours that is so heartwarming and endearing to me is your constant sense of gratitude for life's blessings. It is something that all of us should be aware of as it tends to "ground us" to the beauty of life despite any unpleasant circumstances that we all face in our lives. If you ever have a few days to stay in Anchorage( especially between May and September) I would highly recommend taking the "Denali Star" train from Anchorage to Fairbanks. You can just take it to Denali National Park for a day excursion or ride it all the way to Fairbanks(12 hours). It's luxurious with meals served on board. I think that it would be something that you and Eric would enjoy. Alaska, as you have seen is a gorgeous state and most of the residents are so "down to earth" and quite friendly. Take care, please say hi to Eric and Luna. Have a wonderful autumn 🍂 🍁.
Oh my gosh that rain ride sounds wonderful, definitely bookmarking that for a future adventure! Thank you John ☺️
I live in Anchorage and I’m glad you enjoyed our city! Next time please bring bear spray ☺️
ANCHORAGE ALASKA 24 HOUR FLIGHT ATTENDANT LAYOVER JETTING JULIA ❤
Hi Julia. You are absolutely right about not going up there. I’ll tell you I live in Colorado and do a lot of hikes. However most of them are with plenty of people so I know I have people to call for help. You made a great decision and you should feel very accomplishing. Great work!
Hatcher Pass Alaska has lots of trails to hike on. And there is an old gold mine town that has been semi-preserved. It's less than an hour and a half from Anchorage, in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. I take my Labrador Retriever up there all the time in the summer. Note: This is a summer only destination.
🤣 i said the same thing hatchers pass by palmer. That gold mine is pretty cool.
OMG I was so excited to watch this video. Alaska is on my bucketlist. Seeing all the beautiful scenery through you're eyes, definitely makes me want to go to Alaska even more. Not sure about the hiking but just being there would be all the more special and wonderful. Thank you for an awesome video.
My goodness, that scenery is otherworldly. Cannot get over it. Oh absolutely, reaching the peak of that mountain matters little, you still conquered major territory and hey 3 miles is nothing to sneeze at! Shame that other excursion didn't pan out. This trip was truly memorable nonetheless! ( I do remember your last visit there..I think you saw some adorable animals). Love the head band and the sweater and the magnet! That looks like it's 3-D! This video is 24 minutes..probably your longest and you know what, it just breezed right along, a great indication of how lovely it is 😊
I think was my longest vlog yet, happy it's receiving such positive feedback from you all. The hike was incredible, even if I didn't make it all the way to the top. Thanks as always for watching!
what a awesome trip
Alaska the wilderness! Nice hike, good thing there were no wild creatures stirring around mountain lions etc. Glad you were able to make the hike successfully..I like your head scarf that Eric gave you nice touch.
Fantastic vlog as always julia! Great to see miss Luna! I always sleep on the bed closest to the window if im staying in a hotel room. I hate to be too warm at night, plus i love to wake up and see what's going on around me. 🤣 Alaska looked so awsome somewhere id definitely love to go so thank you for taking us along. Hope you've had a fantastic week! The cruise looked amazing too! 😍🛳
Thank you Adam! Alaska was incredible and quite a contrast from the cruise, can’t e is trot those videos to go live too! It’s gonna be a great month ☺️ thank you as always for watching!
the top of flattop is awesome!
I loved all the scenery you showed in Anchorage! I have never been to Alaska, so this was a real treat! Thank you and have a nice new week!!
Thank you, I have only been to alaska twice but it’s so beautiful each time in there!!
I “failed” the incline in Manitou Springs. I’ve hiked a lot in Colorado but I’m pretty sure my heart would have blown up on that endeavor. “Flatlander mistake”: we just laughed and bought the dang t- shirt. The Incline is the real deal. Props to the locals who do it. FYI: son in law was Air Force in Anchorage and loved it.
Hi Julia! I just discovered your channel & I think it's not just fun to watch all these exciting places you visit but very informative as well. I have a family member who works in the recruiting department of a major Northwest airline. I love the free flying with standby. (OK most of the time). My first adventure was to Anchorage. Like you I was blown away by the mountains & scenery. Next Summer I plan to go back since there is so much to see. Denali National Park is next on my list & Thank you for the Elderberry Park idea! Take care, Safe travels & Thank you again for all your wonderful travel videos!
Great video , beautiful scenery, the climbing was hard work !.
Enjoy the journey Julia!!! Beautiful views❤️
Thank you for your positivity. The daily grind of life can bring us down. Sometimes we need to go out to nature and just enjoy the creation of Mother Nature. Safe travels❤️❤️❤️
Julia this video is so wonderful! Alaska has a lot of beautiful scenery! It's so great you got to spend 24 hours there! I'm happy for you!
Thank you for another awesome video. Julia, I am totally proud of you for making an intelligent decision to turn around and protect your safety.
Wow, that , scenery was spectacular........but so glad you decided to turn back.......stay well , safe and happy new week.....as always thanks so much for sharing Julia!
The music in the video was great, very relaxing.
What a beautiful trip. I think you made the right decision on turning back when you did. Always go with your gut. The vlogs just get better and better. Scenery is stunning. Luna is a star! And just know we have all lost money in one way or another. It is always gut wrenching. Nobody can really afford to loose. But, always a lesson in it. Till next time!
I always love going to Anchorage on my layovers I hope you enjoyed Snow City Cafe I like that place. Im happy your were able to go back to Anchorage.
I really did like snow city cafe, definitely a cute breakfast spot!!
It is amazing what a beautiful world we live in
I’m from Alaska and I loved your video! Glad you made the best of it ♥️😘
Jetting Julia da 🐐 no 🧢
I really enjoy watching your videos . I’ve seen other flight attendant videos and yours is by far the best. You provide awesome content and watching your videos makes me feel like I’m really there . Thank your u for sharing your life with the rest of the world. I want to go to Alaska . Hopefully soon .
Glad you liked it here for your layover.
A long time ago I took a day trip to Anchorage and walked around and then took a red eye back. Impressed with the mountains..scenery.
That’s an awesome day trip! ✈️
Hi, Julia and Happy October!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌈💖💖💖💖💖🛫💖🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🎃👍
Alaska is so beautiful! I’ve cruised there 3 times and have loved every minute! One day I’d love to do a land and sea package to experience different towns. Thanks for sharing your layover!
Another awesome vid! Have fun
Thank you!! Alaska was amazing!
@@JettingJulia absolutely! Dad and I used to fish Halibut up there,every year! Formerly from wa. State
This was one of the most enjoyable videos that I ve seen . You are in such amazing shape to navigate that trail...I really needed this pick me up today because I buried my brother yesterday. Thanks again. You are the best. BTW. if you call your cc company you can easily dispute that charge because they weren't clear with the iteniary....and time it takes. I worked for a bank and there is a better than even chance you will win. Many times the bank will eat the charge to keep u happy. Regards. Jb
Thank you for the tip about calling my cc company. Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear about your brother 😢 sending you prayers!
Thank u very much for the prayers. It has been so hard for the family. Safe travels
Glad you had a great trip and hike! Wow, that mountain's elevation is over 12,000ft, so challenging is right! Coming down is as important as climbing up a mountain, so glad you made the right decision! Sorry the glacier excursion couldn't be refunded, especially since they didn't provide clear information, but as you say, at least it didn't turn into a bigger problem if you'd have found out day of. Safe travels!
Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska! Sorry the weather was so dreary when you were here, we've had cloud cover + rain for the better part of 2 months. Less than 1 sunny day per week this fall. Flat top is NO JOKE! Glad you were able to get out and enjoy it! I would caution any hiker to be extremely well prepared and have bear spray with them this time of year (at the minimum) especially if you're going to be out and about by yourself. Bears around here are looking to beef up before winter hibernation and they're not scared of ... anything. Also, I hope the clip of the moose you shared was from farther away than it seemed. This time of year isn't sooo worrisome with moose, as there aren't really mothers out there protecting their baby calf's - but much like bears, the moose aren't afraid and can/will charge you.
An amazing walking trail here in Anchorage is the 11 mile long Coastal Trail. It's almost completely on the "coast" with part of the trail boardwalk. It's accessible from downtown, and no matter the time of year, it a pretty walk. If you ever would like to plan to be around a little longer - Talkeetna, Homer, Glennallen, & Palmer all have fun things to see and would afford a day (or, more likely more than) of amazing adventures. Palmer has a neat little downtown area with amazing shops and restaurants.
In Anchorage, you can't go wrong with a fish dinner at Humpies, check out Alaska Wild Berry, and various little hole in the wall type of shops that you'll find gifts from local artisans vs. something "Alaska" that came from another country.
First time on your channel very enjoyable you have a very relaxing way your voice is very smooth do you have a beautiful presentation about yourself I look forward to your next video. God bless you☕️🇺🇸
Thanks and welcome!
Perhaps my favorite layover location!
Really enjoyed your Alaska trip, hike and scenery were beautiful.
Its getting close to the First Snow Fall. The majority of the Tourists have left. These are the best days to be there; just before the snowfall and the mountains and hills become unaccessable. I can imagine some of the pics you have taken. Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. I'm surprised there are still non stop flights from the Lower 48 to Alaska.
I loved alaska, can’t wait to go back!! It was incredible seeing all the colors change for fall. Absolutely beautiful place
My Grandfather used to say “it better have it and not need it, than not have it and need it” ps he got good bit of fishing in while there! Enjoy 😊
The mountain hike is beautiful
Great video, Julia!
Vessi’s are the best
Thanks for recommendation and discount
Enjoy your channel
What an amaizing trip. Hope you enjoy the wonderful coffee from my Country.
