Glacier Trail Bed and Breakfast Juneau

... out and they came up just 2 feet from our boat! It was the most incredible sight we have ever seen. One gentleman said that this was right up there with the birth of his kids!!! The crew said that less than 10% of the time will you see a killer pod that close and humpbacks bubble net fishing and less than 5% of the time will you see a whale breach in Alaskan waters.....We felt very fortunate...Just wait for the pictures!!!!<br>

... the ice rubbing against the bottom of the boat. Two big huge pieces caved off; the waves from it were awesome; it made the water and ice look like a piece of wavy glass. The blue color of the icebergs and glacier was incredible. The boat went up close to several incredible waterfalls. One place he put the bow of the boat right under the falls. The boat went close to ...

Firstly I should tell you about the cruise ship and our experiences on board. Our room in comfortable, we have a Queen size bed, a desk, a sitting area and a balcony, so we can relax, drink wine and watch the world go by. The food is very good and varied, you can eat 24x7 if you want and as much as you want and some people do&#8230; I have seen some serious stacks of food (e.g. 3 croissants topped ...

The City and Borough of Juneau (pronounced /&#712;d&#658;u&#720;no&#650;/) is a unified municipality located on the Gastineau Channel in the panhandle of the U.S. state of Alaska.

If you still want to drive some more (which we did) you can cross a bridge to Douglas Island and drive nearly to the top of a mountain.

The food was good stuff, and we all bonded somewhat huddling by the heat lamps.

... breakfast with chorizo and scrambled eggs. It was a designated beautiful day and the promised sunny weather by the weatherpeople actually came true. No jackets needed, only a sweater for later and of course sunglasses!!! Our way led us to take a nice hike up on Mount Robert.

We told him our situation and asked about getting a temporary ID. He told us not to worry because Jan and I could vouch for Adam as our son. Adam continued praying and worrying, however.<br><br>Coming back to the ship, we were taking pictures of it ...
