Creator's Key Takeaways

we were told yesterday that this morning would be an excellent opportunity to look for whales and Wildlife and they didn't disappoint for sure

the weather is beautiful this morning so I mean I was in shorts in a so the funny thing is Ken is in shorts and a hoodie but I am wearing jeans

we're probably about halfway to The Visitor Center maybe a little bit past that so it's pretty flat the hallway and mostly paved

the service was amazing tonight it was really good it was fast I was really happy
