The Good

It's been the most amazing amazing trip and this beautiful sunrise is just icing on the cake.

🥈Expertbarely packed

This trip has been everything and more than I could have ever imagined.

🥈Expertbarely packed

It started feeling more like a private Alaska tour than an excursion surrounded by some of the most unreal scenery I've ever seen.

🥈Expertbarely packed

Highly recommend it. I'll put her information.

🥈Expertbarely packed

This is why you do Alaska. This is why you do Alaska. It's the views.

🥈Expertbarely packed
The Watch-outs

That was very unpleasant. There were so many people trying to squeeze through there and that was just insane.

🥈Expertbarely packed

It was 2.7 miles. You know, you got to go around cars. There's no paved sidewalk the whole way.

🥈Expertbarely packed

I try not to fly in on the same day. I know I'm playing with fire when I do that. Highly do not do that.

🥈Expertbarely packed

Captain piped into the stateaterooms. That's never a good sign when the captain comes on that early in the morning.

🥈Expertbarely packed

I highly recommend you don't do it.
