Day 6 Glacier Bay

Embarkation day!
It was our inaugural day aboard the ship! Following a light breakfast, we prepared for the day and readied our belongings.

The driver navigated through heavy traffic, which sometimes felt a bit intense. Boarding the ship…

Currently seated at our gate, I’m gazing out the window, eagerly awaiting our airplane’s arrival while observing other planes take off and land. Later that evening, on the flight to Seattle,…
