My family is planning a trip there this year too... I have another idea but it may take a bit more time to develop... based on a design done for a previous trip of ours in 1983!
absolutely... I can't communicate directly with you during the contest... but we will be looking for a 'nice' place to stay in the Juneau area and do day trips to the islands around there and maybe a couple days in another place - then my son and husband want to do a train trip and I have to return to work in CA.
Yes I am checking with Ray to see if he thinks the penguin was his exclusive idea. They are very careful to protect ideas on LT... I have a penguin family that is cute I did for another contest.
How many people in this family by the way?
Note to be careful about number of colors and gradients if you are printing on merchandise... that is my primary business at Business Builders here in N. CA.
Can't help too much with places to stay. My group will be on a cruise. One of our ports is Juneau. Here's the link to the Juneau Convention and Visitor's Bureau. I was in touch with a woman by the name of Terry Miller and she was very helpful. I'd also check with the CVB in Skagway as well. I can tell you that there's a bar in Juneau called the Red Dog Saloon that I'll be visiting -- if you're so inclined, I think you'll enjoy it.
