Renee, Bill and I drove down to Portage Glacier on a chilly, rainy day. Nevertheless, the views were stunning.
Alaska SeaLife Center
The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay. There were all types of sea life – fish, sea lions, puffins and colorful sea creatures like star fish and anemone. One display allowed observers to touch sea anemone with two fingers – icky or fascinating depending on your perspective.
Seward
Bill and I spent a few days in Seward, Alaska. We visited Seward Brewing, Exit Glacier and the Alaska SeaLife Center. The weather was perfect – a clear day, moderate temperature.
Watch Out for Bears!
We can’t figure out if it was good that we didn’t notice this before hiking up to Exit Glacier or not. I must say at first glance I was happy to see guidance for what to do in case of a bear in the area: don’t turn and run; talk to it and back away […]

Plus our 2 seats are in the middle so we both have aisle seats. A rather nice dinner with wine will be served in […]
Fort Worth Flying Saucer
Getting to Fort Worth was a trip and a half. We left DFW in our rental car, plotted the route to our hotel in the GPS. Never mind, the powers that be decided that multiple construction projects on spaghetti-like highways with few signs and a broken traffic light along the way were a test to […]
LGA and IPA
