Bars, Bears, and Bald Eagles, Oh My! (Alaska Part 2)

The Alaskan adventure contiinues as we fulfill Bonnie's last wishes by spending time together & processing grief in our own unconventional way.• Boarding a small, luxury Seabourn cruise ship in Vancouver after spending the night at Pan Pacific Hotel• Experiencing an unexpected customs incident where Christmas's sentimental pocket knife is confiscated• Coining the phrase "Dead Mom Scavenger Hunt" when explaining our trip to new friends Luke and Michael• Exploring Ketchikan including Dolly's House historic red light district tour and local dive bars• Discovering the challenges of getting around in small Alaskan towns with no Uber access• Visiting the Fortress of the Bear in Sitka to see rescued grizzly bears, including playful sister bears• Exploring the Raptor Center in Sitka to see magnificent birds of prey including massive bald eagles• Enjoying local Alaskan cuisine including king crab and specialty food trucks• Learning about Alaskan pull-tab gambling games in local dive bars• Embracing the cruise experience despite initially not considering ourselves "cruise people"Dead Mom Scavenger Hunt is about moving through life after loss without turning it into a whole identity—or pretending it’s not there. It’s two women traveling, eating, finding mildly chaotic situations, and narrating with humor that’s just dark enough to tell you they’ve been through something. The “scavenger hunt” isn’t literal. It’s the ongoing practice of noticing what’s still good, still funny, still meaningful…even when you don't feel like laughing.Holla at us with questions or comments:Email: [email protected]: @deadmomscavengerhuntFollow us on Facebook!Christmas IG: @drugstorecowgirljewelryCara IG: @cara.steinmannOR you can get all the uncut video and audio if you join us on Patreon.
