Loving the Trip Report and pictures. Your making me excited about writing my trip report abou the Wish when I go in February 2023
I’m working on a trip report of my own. You inspired me.Thanks for posting!
We took to city bus out to Mendenhall when we visited in 2014, and this walk down to the entrance was a highlight of our trip. Such beautiful views, no one else in sight, and those white, dead-looking trees felt like something out of Tolkien. Loving all your pictures!!We got one almost right away and before we left, he explained to us that he did not have the required pass to be able to drop off passengers right at the entrance. He said only two taxi companies have access to that area. He said it was about a one-mile walk from the drop off area to the main entrance. Well, we needed the exercise anyway so away we went!
Rob chatted almost the entire way with our Lyft driver and it was about $30 I think. Once we got out, he said we could take the smooth, paved path, or the path that went through the woods. We'll take the less bear-y path, thanks
While the walk was slightly longer than one mile, the views were worth it!
You could see the top of the glacier from here.
I mean, LOOK at that! It was worth the walk!
Here's where that woodsy path came out...
Around the bend, you could see the bus drop off area at the visitor centre.
No! I don't want your TR to end!Our final dinner and my last evening at the pool, coming up in the next chapter.
We had Luis for our 10 nights on Wonder -Vancouver to Hawaii in April. He's one of my favorites! Hoping to see him again for Alaska in 34 days!July 13th, Part 4
Let's start this chapter off with a cute photo that Kira took earlier in the day.
And then more beautiful ice as we leave the A
I wanted to stay longer, I don't think we were quite out of the Arm just yet but it was now dinner time at Triton's...
This was the one menu I was really looking forward to since it was brand new to all of us. This dark rye bread/cracker was quite delicious with butter on it!
This was our view from our table.
And this my view of my awesome family!
I love me some pea soup so I got that as an appetizer. It was just okay.
Rob got this and only liked the stuff in the little bowls.
He also got the carrot soup which he did not love but I ended up loving it and finishing it for him! It's funny because he LOVES carrots and I hate them, so the fact that he didn't care for the carrot soup and I wanted to lick the bowl, was downright weird.
Kira ordered the lobster ravioli and didn't really eat it. She said it was gross.
Same with Rob's salmon.
He did like his chicken though.
My beef was terrible! Overcooked again and tasted bad. Like the meat was bad.
Even the potatoes were barely edible and if you know anything about me it's my love for just about any potato. I used to say "I never met a potato that I didn't like" but this cruise definitely has changed that.
I think I took a few bites and that was it for me. At this point, I started feeling really off. My face went bright red, which is the first indication of my Lupus flaring up. Sometimes I will go from 60 to 0 in less than a minute and this was one of those times. It's kind of hard to explain, my face feels like it's on fire and then I lose all of my energy at once, my heart beats really fast, I often get an instant headache, feels like I will pass out if I don't cool down. Rob noticed my face, took a photo and then I headed back to the room.
I went out on the verandah. Boy, it sure was nice to be able to cool down just by stepping out there. It took about an hour to feel better and I enjoyed the scenery while I was doing so.
Rob and Kira finished their dinners and then ordered and ateZaldy and Luis were concerned for me, Rob explained to them that it happens often, nothing to worry about, I just needed to get out of there ASAP. Rob managed to get a mask-free photo of them with Kira that night.
