Hopefully, you'll get some better weather. <br />Jokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279961998217571775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-38350990759330999532017-06-29T16:33:50.610-07:002017-06-29T16:33:50.610-07:00We have booked our tour with Stan Stephens for an...We have booked our tour with Stan Stephens for an all day trip on the 5th. I'm not sure if the Columbia is his boat or not, but we are looking forward to it. I just hope it clears when our daughter and family come because they will only be in Alaska for a week. Fresh fish again tomorrow.Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-28794268001999023122017-06-29T10:20:01.446-07:002017-06-29T10:20:01.446-07:00A few days to recharge might be just what you need...A few days to recharge might be just what you need.

Do NOT miss the boat to the big glacier, Columbia. It is worth every penny, experience of a lifetime. Don't miss it. It was rainy when we were in Valdez, but it cleared in between, and we had the very best salmon and halibut bought directly from the fish seller right there on the pier.
