Hubbard Glacier
We never actually pulled up to a port yesterday. Hubbard glacier was to be admired from afar – and admired, it was. I’ll cover the experience in tonight’s Lockergnome report – an afternoon that will be forever etched in memory. I never thought something in nature could be so… naturally amazing. I spend my life looking for artificial creations and virtual pleasures, so this formation of snow and ice was a breath of fresh air (literally). I enjoyed watching it for well over three hours – without once thinking of the time, without once feeling bored or restless. I will return one day, mark my words.
Ponzi and I played casual all the way through the evening, though we did miss another opportunity for group trivia and bingo. I’ve got a few more cruise tips to add to my list, and I think Ponzi’s got a few of her own. Holland America still strikes me as one of the better cruise companies around – in Alaska or otherwise. Being able to connect to the Internet in the middle of the day is nice, too – thanks, Pluggd!

Chris,
Glad you and Ponzi are having a great time on your cruise. Annie and I got back from our Alaska cruise (on Norwegian) a couple weeks ago, and had a great time. We’ve got some pictures from Sawyer Glacier on our Flickr site.

It’ll be fun to compare notes when you get back.

The hubbard glaciar was the most impressive part of my Alaska cruise as well. My trip, supposedly, achieved record closeness to the already massive glaciar thanks to warm weather loosening up some of the larger icebergs…true or not, that thing was freaking huge and absolutely beautiful.
