Woah what a great vacation. Just got back from a 7 days 8 nights Alaskan cruise. Hit Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan. In Skagway we went on a train through the mountains and actually into Canada it was really scenic, I think my grandpa would have really liked that. The rest of that day was just spend strolling through the small town and doing a little shopping. The next day, my favorite of the cruise, was Juneau. There I left early in the morning for a scenic helicopter flight to Mendenhall Glacier! The helicopter was full but luckily I had a window seat it was a really cool flight. Once on the glacier we were given crampons and ice axes. We did some walking around and then some really fun ice climbing it was really weird having moving hand holds but moving up with the crampons was a lot like climbing a rope scoot your legs up move yours hands repeat. The last port was Ketchikan. We took a horse drawn tour around the city that was ok. The best part was having this husky on board she was really beautiful, and made me pretty resolute that some day I'm going to get one. Then we took a duck tour quack! The in city stuff was lame almost the same route with all the same jokes but once we got in the water it was cool. Got to see some seaplanes land and some interesting views of the harbor. The food on board was good but not as good as I was expecting. Still I did my best to try and experiment and I had quite a few different dishes. I didn't exercise nearly as much as I had hoped to and drank more then I thought I would so its back to training tomorrow.
