Ketchikan : Had a wonderful day on the first stop of our cruise. Flightseeing with Michelle at Island Wings was truly amazing! We flew over Misty Fjords National Monument. On the way there, we stopped to see our first humpback visible from above, swimming just below the surface.

Glacier Bay : Glacier Bay is definitely a highlight of any cruise! We had very good weather, with spectacular clouds most of day and sunshine as we reached the glaciers. Luckily, I had a plenty of memory for my camera. I kept shooting photos, even though friends standing next to us kept saying, "Wait, we'll get closer." :)

Valdez : Ports that very few ships go to. That's what cruising small ships are all about. Columbia Glacier was a very different experience. It's calving so heavy you can't get near it. However, the ice in front of it is amazing, almost surreal! Around all this ice you need a solid guide. The folks with Stan Stephens Cruises did a great job!

Seward : Kenai Fjords Tours did a great job on our trip out to Kenai Fjords National Park. It's really an amazing place. I wish the weather had been better and the seas smoother, but you can't have everything. :)

Hoonah (AKA Icy Strait Point) : Highlight of our trip was spending the morning with Shawn from Glacier Wind Charters. Combination of the best place to see humpbacks, a roomy well-equipped boat and being treated like family, made this a great excursion!

Victoria, BC : Met at the gate by knowledgeable locals handing out welcome pins. Strangers giving you directions without you asking. What a friendly town! And gardens that even a none gardener would like! Wow!

At sea : Some of the most beautiful landscapes appear at sunrise and sunset. Alaska's no different, but being there means late to bed and early to rise.
