My time zones caught up with me this morning, and I slept like a baby until 8am. We were in the Tracy Arm this morning, about 2 or 3 miles away from the South Sawyer Glacier, and the plan was to spend the morning zodiacing and kayaking, and then have a relaxing afternoon of jumping…

alaska 2012: “the coolest thing i’ve ever done”
Today I did the coolest thing I’ve ever done. I took a teeny tiny small float plane over Laconte Glacier. More on that later… The morning dawned humid and foggy, semi-warm (for Alaska), and since we had signed up for the second zodiac cruise, we didn’t have much to do except hang out and relax…
alaska 2012: “chillin’ out max, relaxin’ all cool…”
INCREDIBLE morning! We got so so so lucky with the weather – sunny, semi-warm, barely a cloud in the sky and the calmest water I’ve seen yet. Yoga was on deck at 7am, and we were supposed to hike and kayak in the morning. Right at 7:30, Sue came on the intercom and informed us…

alaska 2012: “bear” or “jeff falls into knee deep water while filming”
I woke up this morning at about 4:45. While I contemplated staying in bed, I decided to get up and work out. The exercise equipment is small and compact but it overlooks the starboard side of the boat. It was extremely foggy this morning so it was hard to see much. After a short workout,…
alaska 2012: you haven’t been to Sitka unless you’ve been to Ernie’s
{I’m typing up my journal entries post-trip… enjoy!} We are off! After an early breakfast in Seattle, we took the shuttle bus to the airport where we met up with the rest of the family. Bags checked and through security, we grabbed lunch, as our Lindblad guide recommended. She informed us that there would be…
