Welcome to our John Hall's Alaska Tour video page.

On the deck, time for bed but a time taken paused, the moon is full, at cabin and house. For a moment I think on the same moon shining through the clouds onto my Alaska flows the thought. Suddenly the night air’s chill passes away, washed with warmth on the thought. Faithfully Forever, a Full Spring Moon

Filmed in the summer, the collection includes 84 videos covering the land and water part (MS Veendam)of the vacation

The quality, features and service exceeded our expecations. We hope you enjoy seeing the sites as much as we love revisting them. And if you are lucky enough to go with John Hall, well you are in for a treat (pricing). In fact one of our travelers met his future wife on the tour. You never know what lays over the hill.

Intro: We found out later that the actual photo and video matrix was count of 10,500

Special thanks for contributed photos by, Phil & Carol, Jack & Helen, Phil & Janet, Punky & Barb, Roger & Nancy. After hundreds of hours, the project is done and the first batch of DVD videos are being burned (including traveler photos and their backups). Thank you for your patience. What the heck was I thinking. But it has been rewarding.

------------------------

The Glacial Bay movie was the largest video. Photos from our contributing group number just over 240 for that film alone! I thought about sorting them out but finally decided on including them in order by photographer. The Humback whale bubble feeding footage was just finished and uploaded. Actual Humpback whale sounds for the background audio. They don't sing to pretty but the voices ared interesting. I think I referred to them as, "goose farts on a foggy day". But they are 100% real.

Mmy small camera was a Kodak EasyShare V530 DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!! with a one gig high speed chip (after market). Whatever camera you do buy be sure to bring extra batteries, memory chips or film. Best wishes and joyful memories.
