At 74 travel opportunities are shrinking - since I've been to Antarctica, Alaska has gone to a back burner.

That was with Norwegian. We didn't love them.

I, too, had my mind blown by Alaska. Took Ruby the van up the Alcan hwy a couple falls back and spent two months exploring--which was not enough, but heavily falling snow had it’s decided say in my exit plans. The Alcan is gorgeous and remote and largely without service. I loved every minute of it. But I didn’t fancy forging it in a storm.

And like you, I’m fascinated with the alien world of glaciers. That sound! My god. I even jumped in a blue pool of a glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias NP. Not for the faint of heart! 🥶 But incredibly invigorating.

That cruise through Kenai Fjord from Seward was amazing!

Thank you much for stirring the memories--a two-fold reminder that I must return one day and to write about my experiences there!

My friend was killed from falling ice while on a kayak trip. It does happen.
