Highlights (updated daily)

Day Nine
Julia: My highlight was the phosphorescent jellyfish. They were so cool. Every step along the shore was illuminated. We threw rocks in the water and the splash glowed. It was an awesome end to an awesome trip.
David: Seeing the black bear cub while kayaking.

Day Eight
Julia: WHALES! WHALES! WHALES!
David: If you'd have asked me earlier it would have been the mountain goats but now -- WHALES! WHALES! WHALES!

Day Seven
Julia: Seeing the Fairweather Mountain range as we approached Gustavus. I have to say, the people in Alaska are super friendly. The one car service in Gustavus couldn't pick us up for hours so the airline (think "Wings" not American Airlines) called the restaurant we had a reservation at and the chef's mom and dad came and picked us up and gave us the don't-blink tour of Gustavus.
David: I'll have to ask him but if I was to guess, I'd say his highlight was the zip line tour. It was exhilarating.

Day Six
Julia: Being on top of the glacier. It was so bright we were almost blinded by the sun. The blue ice is like nothing I've ever seen. I thought glaciers were peaceful ice flows but they are rather violent and jagged. Nature is phenomenal.
David: His schadenfreude while watching me stress out over flying in a helicopter. He also liked the dogs on the glacier but he laughed at me A LOT.

Day Five
Julia: Seeing the blue ice of the glaciers as we approached Juneau.
David: Seeing Bob again before leaving Sitka.

Day Four
Julia: Hiking with Marilyn
David: The muskeg

Day Three
Julia: Bob, our guide, our captor
David: Bob - "If that avalanche gave way again, we'd die right now." He also liked the sound of the whale.

Day Two
Julia: It was a GORGEOUS day. The highlight of my day was definitely the sunlight streaming through the trees at Totem Park. I hope my pictures capture at least a tenth of the beauty. I also enjoyed biking everywhere.
David: The sound of the eagles (JF: they make a watery trill)

Day One
Julia: My highlight was seeing David at the Seattle airport after a long day of travel from NYC.
