Our "Trip of a Lifetime" - Part 2

In Part 1 we discussed arriving in Seattle and the first few days...

On Tuesday August 6, after a small problem with Uber,

Nana, I and the family finally arrived at the terminal,

passed through security and boarded the 

Carnival Legend!!!

The view from our balcony on the Legend!

On Day 3 of the cruise we arrived in Tracey

Arm Fjord where we boarded a smaller boat

and made it to the southern face of Sawyer Glacier.

After getting very close (per the Captain we were

closest he had been all year) and watched some

minor calving of the glacier - Amazing!!!

The Captain then took us to the main face of the

Sawyer Glacier where Nana just happened to be filming.

Nana just happened to catch some major calving

of the face of the glacier!!!  Shortly after that,

the crew hauled aboard a small piece and put

it on the deck so everyone could feel it.

While in Tracey Arm Fjord, we made sure we had all

the answers and pictures in order to claim our

find for the Earthcache there.

I noticed there was a Virtual Cache right in the

terminal as we were waiting for our plane.

Did we get in all the geocaches that were on our lists - NO!

But, considering the sights we saw and the
people we spent the time with...

our "Trip of a Lifetime" was a trip we will always remember!!!
