Creator's Key Takeaways
This is one of the reasons I absolutely love Alaska.
This excursion was perfect, called Mendenhall Explorer, as it takes you to the glacier and drops you off for 3 hours.
This is my office for the day right here. Not a bad office, but you can see there's not a ton of people in here.
It doesn't get better than that.
