Creator's Key Takeaways

I could feel my mind slow down. I could feel my heart sigh in relief.

The feeling of being in Alaska was palpable. My soul needed this and would soak in every moment.

It was gorgeous. I mean, you you could not have picked a better day, better temperature, better everything for everything that we did today.

Out of all the specialty dining that we have done this week, it was probably our favorite.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book private excursions through local booths to save money.
Visit the visitor center off the pier for local tour options with a guarantee to return on time.
Ask for postcards and stamps in port if interested.
Be prepared for variable weather in Alaska, even if it seems warm initially.
