Thank you Tina for the time and effort you put into ALL your videos and getting this one out even though you had no internet at the cabin 🙂
NO INTERNET, she's like in another world ! 💀🇺🇸
@@paulsuprono7225 Yeah, takes real skill to upload to the internet whithout any connection.
I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am for you guys! I think the guy at the border may have wanted to have at yout trailer. Get you stuck at the nearest hotel to the border and while you sleep, he breaks in. Love the comment from the US border agent about waiting on you guys! I bet that felt so nice after the 3.5 hour border ordeal.
Thank you all for bring us along on this journey. The hassle you have had, the stress. But all worth it in the end. New life begins ✨️
Thank you Anita...yes it all begins now!!!
Do not embarrass your husband. You can tell he does not like it.
@@wtb61 what are you talking about. I’m not embarrassed. We tease each other all the time, successfully married 23 yrs. Mind your business. (Joe)
@@wtb61 Brave comment from someone hiding behind a random profile. This is a lovely family. 😍
@@wtb61 jealous much?
Happy Veterans Day to you both and to your kids as well thanks for your service
Thank you for taking us along on your journey HOME! I think the best part was the US Border Agent telling you he and his wife have been waiting for you! I LOVED IT!! Nice to know someone was looking out for you. Sounds like Canadian Border Agents doesn't are like the old saying, "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". I would have been beyond furious when they said there were forms to fill out for the guns, especially after calling and repeatedly checking to make sure you had everything in order for the crossing. You all have a lot more patience than me! I know, getting angry would have made things worse and you would have been held up longer, or denied entry. Now you know why I will never go to or through Canada (other than being dirt poor and failing health. LOL!).
I am so happy you all made it to your cabin safely. I hope you all will take a few days to rest, relax, and catch up on some much needed RESTFUL SLEEP. Then you all can get busy making the rest of your dreams come true and more memories for Parker to pass down to his kids. OOPS!! I'm getting ahead of myself! You all are so very blessed!! I love seeing you all so happy and content!! Love you All!!
I am 73 and have crippling arthritis. .house bound Was very active..loved hiking..lived in Wyoming when I was young, had many adventures.. love to see what you see... takes me out of this house..to Alaska..you both are so capable and blessed. Love your Alaska videos. Looking forward to your journey. 🙏
Wow! What a trip! I was amazed at how big the ferry was and was wondering how the dogs were going to be able to pee. 😂. The snowy mountains are incredible! Thank you so much for including all of us on your journey to home! Blessings!❤️😊
I've just started to follow you and I'm so excited to see your life at the cabin...mean time I'll binge watch and catch up. Safe travels to all and the dogs.
@cheryldowner4834 me too
As most people have said, thank you for taking us along on your journey. Happy for you all. Couldn’t happen to a better family.
Thank you!🤍
My sister has lived in Anchorage, Alaska for over 40 years. I have never been there though. She worked for the state but is retired now. I don't know what route she took to get there, I imagine they flew as her first husband worked for the government. I thnk I would have gone crazy in that bunk room but you had no choice! Thanks again so much for filming this for us!
So glad you're feeling better! I've felt so bad for you! Your dogs are so well mannered and obedient!
How neat! So glad your home safe and sound! Now the fun begins!
I have to say that the last few moments of you pulling up to the cabin I cried and cried at the relief I felt for your family! The months of frustration and praying that your dream could be realized was fulfilled and God was surely with you. You are a blessing to all of us that watch and follow you. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Love to the Watsons!!!
Dawn thank YOU so much. We are so unbelievably relieved. 🤍 I’m so happy to be able to share this journey!
This video has solidified my dreams and desires to move to Alaska one day. This is the place I see myself. Thank you and your husband for being so vulnerable and posting your life on RUclips. You’ve inspired me!
Do it now!! Not one day. When your intuition is telling you to do something then waste no time! We dont have forever. Make your dreams come true now. Putting things off til later only makes us grow further from achieving our goals and living our dreams.
@@ItsmeBish584 Thank you, never have I ever received positive feedback in a RUclips comment. I believe the timing of your words is significant. Thank you again!
I am smiling with all of you! You have worked sooooo hard to get to this point and now you are on your way! The tour of the ferry was GREAT - THANKS! Your cabin seems comfortable. The dogs did well! How fun to write those post cards! So far, even though it is raining the sea doesn't seem to rough. Seeing Parker try to balance was fun! Tears are sooooo okay Tina. So many wonderful memories and emotions! How cool for Parker to get to see where he was born! Nice to have a little time to get off the ship - for the dogs too! It was so good to hear you say that your neck pain is a tad better1 PRAYERS CONTINUE! Joe - you sure trained your precious dogs well! They have done so well on the trip and now on the ferry! I guess I spoke too soon - oh my goodness 32 ft. waves! That had to be scary!!!
Thank you Linda! And thank you for following our journey!🤍
I was so anxious for this video! Your family is living a dream!
Her family, is fulfilling a dream ! 😛
Thank you Family for sharing your continuing adventure North with us viewers! I think we all hold Alaska as somewhere special in our minds and hearts and for most of us who may never see Alaska in real life, you are taking us along to experience it with you! Tina, you are a very good commentator for your channel. I had been patiently awaiting this video, by day 10, I was starting to get alittle worried, hoping things were going OK for you guys! What a treat to watch.
Hey Diane! Yes, all is well, we just don’t have internet at the cabin yet! It’s being installed on the 22nd!👏 So we’re having to get creative to upload for y’all until then!🤍🤍
Ohh yess 1hr 15 mins! Very well documented Tina, I felt like I was on the trip every step of the way.. great video!! The ship looked very comfortable and accommodating for everyone and the pups, loved seeing those mountains.. the views were so beautiful, you captured everything well 😍 It seems like the border security we’re trying to rattle you to see if you would get agitated to give them a reason to turn you back but God was in control, Joe handled himself very very well, he was quite professional, thankful that you made it through (bladder full and all 😅) what a sigh of relief. Now you exhale and enjoy home.
Thank you for pushing to get the video out despite no internet ❤ the 22nd is right around the corner.. take care and stay warm.
P.S. So glad your neck is feeling much better.
Thank YOU Vickie! So happy you enjoyed the video! :)
@@HomeFreeAlaska You’re always welcome ☺️
The border personnel were doing their job, that’s how Canada keeps a high standard of who comes in, and have a good handle on gun control. I know it must be frustrating…but it is normal, and should be expected..the guy that lied about them having hand guns was the culprit.
Time carries us on its river & it’s finally brought you to shore. That is spectacular country up there! My heart bleeds for Canada & what is happening to our world. Stay strong and free.
Why would your heart bleed for Canada?
I would have been so stressed about the pups. Thanks for updating. Also I’m with you regarding the coffee pot! Lol
I just found you guys!! What an amazing life. Now I have to binge watch some more of your videos. Thank you both for your service!
Thank you! 😊
Yep…still up at 3:30am watching this video. I retired from corporate world 5 years ago so I can sleep whenever I want 😉. Tina this is an amazing video and I can’t imagine how long it took you to do the edit. Thank you so very much!
😂 Thank you! 😊
It made me cold just watching those temperatures. I spent most of my life in MN. I dreaded the cold temperatures, short days, terrible icy roads, all the snow, dirty slushy streets after being salted, cars getting rust from the salt. I moved to Jacksonville, FL and everyone there was envious of the snow. I was like no thanks, I’ve had enough. After ten years there I moved to the Charlotte, SC area. The rare snow we get usually disappears during the day and no shoveling needed. That’s OK. I got so depressed during the MN winter with being shut up inside and the cloudy day. I suffered from seasonal affective disorder. You might consider getting one of those sun like lights that help deal with depression. I would just crave sunlight and rejoiced in the spring when it arrived. Good luck in your new home and the change of lifestyle. May you stay warm! I enjoyed your journey and love how well trained those dogs are. They need coats.
I had a feeling Canada was gonna be a pain, but at least it ended well. So happy you arrived safe with such a great tale to tell. Looking forward to watching this new chapter of your life.😊
Just ran across your channel, and boy, am I glad that I did! Oh, to be free. I want that, too. You and your family are a breath of fresh air.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much!🤍🤍
Bradley and Gunner are so well manner.
They don't even do a lot of excessive barking like some dogs,your doing good fur babys on your trip on the ferry.😊
This brings back a few memories.! 😊 I helped move my stepdaughter down to Oregon where he Mom lived. She had a bike accident that gave her some temporary eye problems, and she wasn't able to drive, so she needed someone to drive her U-Haul. She was living in Petersburg and I in Sitka. I had my youngest son with me and a son living in Federal Way, Washington, and this was a good excuse for us all to see him again. I love the ferry trip for any reason. It is so beautiful, so relaxing, and you often get to see bear, deer or otter along the way. In the past, I had taken the plane direct to Seattle, so this was my first (and only) trip through Bellingham.
Don't feel bad; I got a bit ill on that one open stretch there, too. 🤢
When I moved from Anchorage to Sitka, I had made the trip you are making, but from the opposite direction. I pulled a 20 foot trailer to Haines and we then took the ferry from there to Sitka. That trip is also very beautiful. So I am very much enjoying reliving some of this through your adventure. 🥰
P.S. I cannot believe how insane your border crossing was!!!!! I never had to go through anything like that! That country has gone paranoid!!
So happy for y’all ❤ Thank you for taking us along! Be blessed, Tonya
Just started watching you guys, this video popped up on my RUclips feed. I'm now addicted to your off grid adventure. Stay well :-)
😂 Thank you for watching! 😊
You guys rock, it's my dream to visit Alaska. I have my chocolate lab that I've named Kenai.
Me too and looks like this video is a year old I’ve got a lot of catching up to do , glad to find a new channel to watch along with the other family adventure type videos I like …I was in Kenya with a family last week lol , now going to Alaska right here from my recliner in Georgia 😆
How long is the ferry trip ?
I love this! I can only imagine how difficult it was to produce this video but it's so nice that you did. It reminds me of our cruise trip in 2018 through The Narrows. Beautiful country. It feels like we were right there with you on this amazing trip. I'm so happy for you! God is so, so good!
What an exciting time for y’all . Congratulations can’t wait to see the rest of your journey at your new forever home .
Fantastic adventure you all have taken us on. Your fortitude is amazing. Wish you the best in your new home. God Bless.
Thank your husband for his service to our country. And thank you to your family for all your sacrifices as his support. I look forward to watching your homestead grow. We visit Alaska often. As it is a beautiful state. Enjoy the ❄️ winter.
Thank you! 😊
loved every minute of this wonderful video record of the last leg of your journey home! the "screen saver" worthy views of this beautiful planet of ours - just incredible! so happy for you all to finally be free and where your hearts belong... much love to you all! ❤
I’m a new viewer of your channel, and I must say I’m a bit envious. If I were younger., I’d be doing the same thing y’all are doing. We visited Alaska for the first time in the summer of 2019 and just fell in love with it. I’d love to have moved there in my younger years (I’m 71 years young). I plan to return to visit friends during the early spring in order to see the northern lights. I wish y’all my very best. Keep the videos coming so I can see it thru your young eyes. God bless.
Thank you for joining us! 😊
Amazing journey ❤if I were 30 years younger, would love it so nice you and others share your adventures. I can dream of Alaska, went to Canada in 72 but only passed over the border a little ways. I’m 69 now and in need for some road trips. Congratulations ❤
I was thinking about you guys!! Thankful your trip is going well. The Canadian border deal would've made my hubby go off... you all handled it very well! God bless. Can't wait to see you all settled and unpacked up at the cabin. Yay! 😀❤🤍💙
Whew!!! I’m glad y’all made it safe!! It’s been a journey! Thank you for the videos!! God bless and keep y’all ❤
Just found your channel about a month ago. Now one of my favorites. You are doing a great job. Can’t wait for the cabin videos❤️
Welcome Robin! Thanks for joining us!🤍
What a Blessing!!!! So very thankful that you all made it safely Home! God bless you all. 🤗❄️🇺🇸✝️🏔️🌲
This is absolutely AMAZING!! I am trilled to be able to see so much of this unique and beautiful Alaska that I've been loving for so long. I wished I was really there, for real, it felt a kind of. Thank you for taking us with you.🥰😍❤️💫💫💫💫
Our pleasure!❤️❤️
This is a real deal vlog, more like a pro documentary. Fantastic job. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank YOU!👏🤍
I watched your Ferry crossing video AGAIN yesterday. I felt like I was there. You do such a great job. Thank you Tina, Joe and Parker for sharing your adventures with me❤️
Thank you so much Deborah. It truly is our pleasure. We enjoy doing RUclips & I personally love editing & filming!♥️
Wow what an awesome, beautiful scenery, Ferry trip. With exception of a few glicks ( especially Canada) thanks for letting us come on your journey. Can't wait for what's next. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲
This morning footage is really beautiful and fun of all of you! You are really close now! I am excited with and for you!!! Love your SMILE Tina!!! WHAT BEAUTY! Wonder if Parker is already excited about the snow!
Happy puppies to be in the warmth! Oh my goodness - all prepared and still stopped at the border - ugh! Well. listening to you talk this morn about the road conditions - I guess you have arrived in SNOW country! Can't get over the beauty! Soooo FUN to see the puppies romping in the snow! WELCOME BACK to AMERICA!!! -20 !!! JOE- YOU are an AWESOME DRIVER!!! ALL this way and now even snow covered roads to deal with!! FINALLY. YOU ARE HOME FREE!!! WELCOME to your FOREVER HOME!!!
Thank you Linda!🤍🤍🤍
So happy for you, that you're finally home in Alaska!!! Thank you for letting us be with you on your journey - wow, what a journey!
Take care, it will be so exciting to continue to follow you in Alaska!
Lot's of love to you all, you have such a wonderful family, including your sweet dogs!
My babies would be looking for grass to use as they absolutely refuse to pee or poop on anything else. The only thing that I wouldn't like is being separated from my pups. They are rescue dogs and they would be flipping out as they already have separation issues. Your puppies did great!
Tina&Joe Thank you so much for you're service. Happy Veterans day to both of you ❤. What an amazing show this one was. It would be nice if our countries southern border was like the one you went thru in Canada. God Bless you always
Thank you Alan! Agreed…we could only wish for a border as secure as Canadas!💯
We have a dear friend who lives in Virginia with her family and is in the Coast Guard. Her name is Captain Julie and she flys a chopper. Do you know her Joe? Small world if you do. I am living vicariously on your adventures as I am now a senior, active in my own way even having written 11 books on Amazon! But I am also a dialysis client so my traveling days out of the country are over....but Alaska is not out of the country! Your adventures are wonderful for me. I thank you! I also thank your husband for his service. My father served and so did all my uncles.
Her name doesn’t sound familiar to us. Thanks for watching our show. I’m so glad you enjoy it!😊
Thank you so much for sharing your trip to your Alaska home. You put so much work into filming so we could join you on the final leg of your journey. I just loved seeing your experiences and of course the beautiful scenery. Your pups did so great. You can now take a breath before your work begins! Congratulations, you guys made it, so happy for you!
Thank you for taking us along on this journey to Alaska! It was a beautiful adventure and my blessings to you for a happy and safe future. Beautiful cabin, now home!!
Thank you! 😊
What an awesome journey and a captivating video! You are truly a wonderful family. Good luck to you as you start your new life in Alaska.
All my love
from Ireland.
Joe your wife talks non- stop she drives me insane.
On top of that, she is so dam ugly. Where did you find her?
Happy hunting in Alaska!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I really like the ferry (huge). I’m glad y’all made it home safe and sound. I’m ready to see y’all start y’all new beginnings.
Been looking forward to this video! Ty, ty, ty...for all you did to get this video out to us!!! So excited for y'all. Welcome home...hope you're staying safe and warm ❤️
My pleasure!!! Thanks for watching!🤍
This was so much fun to watch. The Canadian border is scary!!! I felt bad that that person could be so mean and his problem had nothing to do with you.
Thank u for sharing your family's journey with us!
Thanks for taking us to your trip to Alaska.....Wishing you luck and more happiness in your new home!!
Oh wow Tina that was amazing! Beautiful country. Thankyou so much for taking us along on this journey. So glad y’all made it Home Free Alaska. Thankyou God you for seeing them safe to Alaska. This is just so amazing. Can’t wait to see next video. Stay warm
Thank you Debbie! Happy to have you with us!🤍
Glad you are done with this part of the journey. I teared up when the guard at the American border told us, " welcome home," as we entered. I love listening to people's "Alaska stories." We have not regretted our trek up. Look forward to hearing from you when internet is installed. We have only driven the route once without a trailer tire blowing out. You did well.
being told welcome home we have been waiting for you must have been the sweetest thing to hear
It really was!😊
Loved the length of the video! All of us have been waiting in anticipation of your safe arrival home so to include us with a longer video was very nice! Also, what a wonderful following you have. I've read a few of the longer comments and I swear they all feel the same way I do for you and your family! That's amazing! You all are blessed!
I'm so happy you and the family are home safe and sound and get to start enjoying the life you've been planning for a long time. ❤️
The scenery and ferry trip was beautiful!
❤❤❤❤ yes! I’m so glad you guys are doing great! Still loving all the snow ❄️? Too bad we don’t get snow that often here in NC 😢 thank you Tina for the update and the blog! ❤
Yay! So glad you were able to upload the video! Such beautiful scenery thank you so much for sharing. We can’t wait for the next video! Stay warm ☕️
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey to your new home in Alaska. I’m crying happy tears for you and your family. I have been praying for you and your family every day. What a beautiful Blessing and journey for you and your entire family. 💖🐶🐶🙏💕😀
When the ferry pulls away from the dock.😭💜 All the feels. Happy for your family!!
Thank yo so much for your life videos with us. And I want to thank Joe for his service. Stay strong you guys got this! Looking forward to seeing you living in the cabin😊
Thank YOU!🤍♥️🤍
So happy for you all! Loved the video! Can't wait for all the adventures ahead.
All of our prayers worked❤ I'm so glad you had a safe trip Home. Relax, enjoy and live your dreams beautiful family❤️❤️
I’m so happy for you guys! I just found your channel a couple months ago and it’s cool to see you guys’s journey. I am moving to Alaska in March of next year and am super excited! I wanted to take the ferry but it’ll be way too cold. Can’t wait to see more of your family’s journey.
Happy Veterans Day to you guys and thanks for your service. Both my wife and I have been waiting for your video of your last journey of your trip and Tina it was amazing. What a adventure. Your dogs are so well behaved and very well trained. Can't wait for the next video and to see what life has to offer you guys in Alaska.
Thank YOU!🤍♥️🤍
Thanks for taking us along on your journey!
Home Sweet Home guys! The adventure starts now - God bless you all. Great video. X
Welcome home guys. I am pretty new to your channel and I have gone back and binge watched. Praying for you all and your new journey in Alaska. I was on pins and needles watching this video lol. Looking forward to your future videos. Also thank you both for your service.
Thank you!🤍
Almost home guys and the start of your dream. You have worked hard for this day so Good Luck going forward. I hope there is some kids close by for Parker. He is such a cute well behaved young man. All my best. ❤️❤️❤️. 🌞🇨🇦
Thank you!😊
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us. Alaska is so beautiful. This video was like a movie 🎬. Amazing.
what a journey, so nice of you making this beautiful video showing us your way to your forever home
Great video I’m watching this again! Epic journey and every step an adventure- even the not so fun parts. Loved the ferry and the scenic drive❤ IMO Canada is beautiful good people but they’ve been scr-we’d . Cudos to Joe pulling that trailer and driving on those icy roads, omg. Thanks for sharing your journey Tina. God bless you all and stay warm. 🙌🥂
Joe did a fantastic job driving! So grateful for him... :)
So glad i found your channel really looking forward starting with you your new journey in life in Alaska and more of your humourTina its great.. I wish you all the best here from Australia..
So happy to see you posting again. Will watch the latest video now. Love going on this journey with you! PS: I just finished watching the video, it was so awesome to see the scenery, see the ship that you and your belongings traveled on. I am truly having so much fun going on this adventure with you! Thanks a million, Tina, for capturing all of it that you do. I am looking forward to seeing what is next for you and your family. All the best to you in your new home...in Alaska! Hugs to you all from Michigan.
Ahhhh what a great video! Loved the ferry ride, a little crazy with those swells though. The view was spectacular!🥰That sunset and snow capped mountains, yes P it was like a screensaver 😁. The border well we won’t talk about that. The puppies were so good! That was really cool that the Alaska border patrol watch your channel.Well you guys are …. Home Free and now the new adventures begin. I’m so happy for you guys, what a relief! Now you can relax. Thanks for making and sharing this awesome video. God bless all of you ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸PS Thank you both for your service!🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
That was a stressful trip. Being on the ferry would've scared me. I'm terrified of heights & of being on the water like that. Happy y'all made it to your new home.
Oh wow those mountain ranges with the snow were wonderful. Ive never seen snow being in a warm climate in australia. Thankyou for showing us. cheers cheryl.
Your welcome, Thank you for joining us! 😊
I love love love your videos- traveling from one coast to the other-the ferry- across Canada- into Alaska & HOME!!!! I’m looking forward to future videos & your many experiences!! Thank you for allowing us to tag along & PTL for safety & healing for your neck!! 💜
Your video didn't disappoint... what a journey to get to your forever home. I am so excited for you all. Looking forward to many more videos of your Alaskan adventures! Be safe and congratulations!
The boarder agent probably lied to see if you would change your story. It is way more plausible that the boarder agent would lie than it is for a guy who is dealing with his own issues to randomly report some bs about the person behind him.
I was going to say this. I’d trust the authorities less than a random guy.
I think the border agent was lying too.
I agree that border agent made it up. I followed the truckers protest every day and been watching some of the inquiry the past couple weeks. Canada is an authoritarian state now. It reminds me of East Germany.
U mean tgey so chioks arntvtwatcgubh y about transitioning vone in commercial is a brain washing bunch a crap
I would send the Canadian Border Patrol and the US embassy a copy of this video. This is wrong!
Aww I remember meeting you when you first got to Ketchikan! Lexy was so little - about 8 I think. How nostalgic. Happy for you guys!
Yes girl! My Becca Boo! Miss you girl. Still hope one day we can meet again! Always had so much fun with you.🤍
I really enjoyed every minute of the video.
So glad that you all arrived save.
Looking forward to see all your adventures. X
Wow! What a journey, thanks for bringing us along, can’t wait for your next adventure
What an amazing video you guys. The ferry situation was so interesting.
The Canadian Border had me in the edge of my seat.
My goodness what a trek for you all.
A+ on video content. ❤️👏❤️
Thank you Tory!🤍🤍🤍
What a journey! The pups were so well behaved.
Yup great dogs...a bit of fur might help them :). My dog would sleep 99% of the time, 12 years old
You are all FINALLY on your way to Alaska. We are VERY HAPPY for you. 😁😁😁😁😁
So so happy to see you’ve made it safe and sound…being Canadian, it felt funny to hear you say you didn’t want to spend the night here, but I would probably feel the same not being in Canada haha!! Congratulations on your move… I wish only the best for you and your beautiful family (dog’s included) 😊😊
It was because we are not from there so we felt weird, especially after all the Covid stuff where you weren’t allowed to stay. I would always go to Canada on the Coast Guard Cutter. Visited Victoria, Prince Rupert and many others. They were awesome to visit.(Joe)
@@HomeFreeAlaska totally understand! BC is beautiful too! Can’t wait to follow your journey forward 😊😊
Finally, an update .............. we have been waiting 9-10 days. Glad you are truly "home free" and ready to start the next great chapter in your life!! Patty and Steve in Ohio. And of course, Happy Veterans Day
Thanks friends! We don’t have internet at the cabin until the 22nd! So it’s been a challenge trying to upload a new video for y’all. Thx for your patience!🤍

So excited for you guys to start this new chapter in your life!!! Such a great video! Those waves on the ferry were insane for sure. Thank you for sharing and I cannot wait for the next one!
Great video guys! Congrats on a safe passage to your new Alaska home and really hope everything works out well for your install of wi-fi so you can continue sharing your adventure with us. The border into Canada is always a challenge when you have firearms and the border Canucks are instinctively a sadistic bunch when you bring them through their country. Went through the Blaine crossing (I-5) to visit Vancouver (no RV or firearms) and agent could not have been nicer and a few questions had us on our way. Three days later went through Sumas (Route 9) with the RV, bound for Alaska with a pistol grip 12 gauge and got an entirely different experience. Even with proper paperwork (yes Tina, they will give you misinformation on the phone), had to go inside and be in interrogated by 2 agents sitting behind the glass for a good 15 minutes about why I felt the need to bring a firearm, why I was coming through Canada and why I thought 6 days to make the trip was necessary. At that point I dropped the politeness and very sternly said, I had wanted to see some of Canada and drop some coin along the way, but now I'm not so sure. At that point they took on a more civil attitude and let us proceed. It all felt very unwelcoming and really seemed like I was trying to enter Iran or N. Korea. Upon leaving Alaska 2-1/2 months later I was a bit more prepared for the border crossing into Canada where a few questions about if I had salmon on board were answered, I then told the agent how I was hoping to spend about two weeks in transit so I might visit some of the spectacular places your beautiful country has to offer. And with that, I was on my way in less than 8 minutes. Its never a good idea to argue with these folks but you must also be firm when they are just messing with you to show their authority.
Praise God for a safe trip, enjoy your arrival and keep warm up there!
Wow. What an experience. And that was my fear was that it really seems to depend on where you cross & which agent you get that day! Shouldn’t be that way. There should be consistency. But oh well. Happy we made it thru. That was honestly the only part of the trip I was concerned about!😊
Oh my God, so so happy to see you folks home and well. So happy for you folks may God continuously bless n keep you folks safe. Can’t wait for more content. I truly love you guys and Thankyou for taking us along. I love Alaska and the last time I was there was in 2013 with my husband who lived there for about 10-15 years and wanted to move back with all of us but he passed in 2017 along with my youngest son. So we never got to fulfill that dream but every time I travel with you and another couple in Alaska already I truly miss it and the memories just flood right back. Thankyou again Aloha from the Big Island, Hawai’i🌺
So happy for you guys, a great adventure!
