The Trip of a Lifetime




When Marj and I were researching what to do in Alaska, every adventure claimed it was "the trip of a lifetime." A great marketing message that clearly worked on us, as we tried to cram as many "trips of a lifetime" as we could into 2 weeks. Today was our kayaking "trip of a lifetime!" It was indeed cool to see the Holgate glacier calving up close. I'm not sure it was quite the trip of a lifetime I had anticipated after all the build up on the company's website and reviews on Trip Advisor, but it was indeed a very cool way to see the glaciers up close. The boat ride however was not as much fun. While it was great for viewing orcas, puffins, seals, and bald eagles, it was a rough ride, for 3 hrs. each way!
