In Patricia Schultz’s “1,000 Places to See Before You Die,” the Kenai Peninsula is number 877 on the list, but when the Travel Channel starts its series today based on the book, the peninsula starts off the show. Starting tonight at 9 p.m. on cable channel 57, the last part of the show features Homer and Kachemak Bay. The series follows Albin and Melanie Ulle, a newlywed couple from Colorado, as they travel around the world visiting 100 of the places mentioned in Schultz’s book.

Shannon McBride-Morin, a guide, manager and hostess at Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge, took the Ulles kayaking in China Poot Bay when the segment was filmed last September. The daughter of lodge owners Diana and Michael McBride, McBride-Morin said the Homer part also includes a visit to the Salty Dawg, a tour of Gull Island by Karl Stoltzfus of Bay Excursions and a campfire on the Homer Spit. McBride-Morin said she has seen a preview of the episode.

“It’s pretty well done,” she said. “This seemed pretty accurate, pretty real life.”

The Alaska segment of the show includes a visit to Spencer Glacier near Girdwood, a Kenai Fjord cruise out of Seward and a ride on the Alaska Railroad.
