Hubbard Glacier

July 21 Sunday,

Well we were supposed to sail into the inlet that would give a great view of Hubbard Glacier, but it was so foggy that it turned into a bust.  We couldn't risk going any further, and had to turn back. So we are headed to Whittier, trying to straighten out the snafu with our days on land, and hoping for a pleasant outcome.  Congratulations to Phil Mickelson on winning the British Open.  I will report further.

There was a positive outcome to the mix-up with our itinerary.  It seems the agent we booked the reservations through had a case of fat fingers and had us going to Fairbanks instead of Alyeska and finally to Anchorage.  But with a couple of ship to shore conference calls, the problem was straightened out.


So we all could enjoy our last dinner together at a Brazilian Steak House on board ship, with some great wine, great company, and a surprise cake (with our help) to celebrate Jim and Mary Ann's Anniversary.  After that we enjoyed some music and a audience participation comedy show.
