Eureka, the most beautiful day ever, clear, sunny, bright, and comfortably cool.
A perfect day for an eight-hour tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was the 3rd to last day of these tours.
The young captain, Joshua and his assistant Donetta d aid wonderful guiding us through Resurrection Bay to Holgate Glacier.
They truly love what they do and all on board benefited.

I saw puffins, otters, eagles, Sea Lions and what you never hear about "sea lion flies"
Yeah, the dark side of the sea world, "sea lion flies" ask and I will tell you...

There was a break of at the Holgate Glacier, what a scary sound. I was only able to get the last few seconds on a clip.
The scenery was breath-taking, the colors of the sea, the mountains, all, indescribable.

Today's picture was taken yesterday, somewhere over Washington State, heading towards Seattle.
It gives me a "Lord of the Rings" feeling.

I arrived in Anchorage, OTE, no problems, great seats and good eats (my own of course).

The really great news, I missed the airline computer shut down.

The Weather:

Until 30 minutes ago the weather has been cold, cloudy and rainy.

Now 7:30 in the evening, the sun decides to come out.

Oh well, I needed a day of rest before the adventure truly begins.

Tomorrow:

Thursday, I will be going south to Seward in the Kenai Peninsula.

Friday: Glacier sightseeing. http://www.kenaipeninsula.org/attractions/thingsToDo.htm#glacierCruises

That's all that's fit to Blog for today.

Be happy, stay well, TTYS

North to Alaska

This is my first attempt at doing a BLOG.

I thought it would be a good idea. A good idea for me because it's easy (I hope). A good idea for you because you can follow the blow by blow account of my "north by northwest adventure", or not.
As in all great adventures, I will start with a map & background music.
A small plane travels across these great United states as it passes Seattle it turns North.
Landing where the adventure begins, Anchorage, Alaska.
