And now, for something completely different.

Ketchikan

In Ketchikan, seaplanes landed right next to our cruise ship. It seemed like the rate was about one every two or three minutes.

We went ziplining in the rainforest. Woohoo!

After the zipline, you took a 300 foot alpine slide, riding down on a burlap bag.

This is referred to as, "Mooning Eagle."

Juneau Wildlife

Kayaking in Haines

I thought this guy looked familiar.

Brown Bear

Bicycling in Skagway.

Remember.

Marjorie Glacier

Peace.

Marjorie Glacier is advancing out over the ocean at a rate of about 15 feet a day. This means that it calves a lot.

Glacier Bay National Park, continued

Glacier Bay National Park

Next up was Glacier Bay National Park.
The area is renowned for its sea life and the spectacular calving glaciers.

When George Vancouver discovered the entrance in 1794, it was completely iced-over.
By 1916 B.S. (Before SUV's), the glaciers had retreated almost 65 miles.

College Fjord Formal Dinner

My apologies for the posting hiatus. Things have been a bit hectic all around.

After cruising College Fjord, we got all dolled up (well the girls did anyway) for the first formal dinner.

Not a bad-looking bunch!
