Hubbard Glacier. Unfortunately my good luck weather charm failed me. It was very overcast and there was a LOT of ice so we could not get that close. Felt sorry for those seeing Hubbard for the first time but many were enthusiastic. If you have not seen it on a good day I guess it is still a neat sight.

Juneau we were welcomed with liquid sunshine. It was not that cold just damp. Flights were cancelled. Our guide told us starting tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny for a week! In Sitka the day before we arrived was brilliant sunshine. We did have two great days in Skagway and Hoonah so we cannot complain. It nearly always rains in Ketchikan so if it sunny there we CERTAINLY cannot complain.

In Hoonah the whale watching group had 30 Orcas around the boat many with babies. They are not normally in Hoonah this early so everyone was thrilled. That would have been a good excursion to take.

In Hoonah we did a tram ride through a forest it was stunningly beautiful with great trees and bright green moss. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and on a sunny bright day it could not have been better. Stunning scenery.

Juneau - We did a Salmon Bake lunch. The area they took us would have been wonderful in sunshine. The food was surprisingly good with excellent sockeye salmon cooked on an open fire grill. It was all outside but covered so we did not get wet and they have big heaters over the tables so it was okay. They have a great hot spiced cider that hit the spot. Buses ran back to the ship every 15 minutes and that was nice so you could stay the amount of time you preferred. Not talked to anyone else yet to see how their excursions went.

Tomorrow we go to Ketchikan, then a day at sea and then Victoria. So we will still have some good nights left with a Prime 7 reservation on the 20th. King Crab here I come! We will not be back on Regent until October 7 so I am going to make the best of these last few days.
