gg,

Yes. We also went to Seward. It was a 3 hour drive from Homer. We were hoping to go on the ferry to see the glaciers "calve". Well, we were not even half way there, as so many of the passengers were starting to get sea-sick. The bay was quite stormy and choppy. We were standing in the very front to have something to look at (instead of just rocking and rolling inside). it was almost like being on a roller coaster.....
So, the capt. decided to turn back (It IS his prerogative!) and took us back along the shore. We got to see a lot of sea lions and also some whales breaching--but at a great distance....
The trip cost $125. We all got a $40 refund for not getting to the glaciers.

Here is our cousin, Nata, and her husband who came all the way from Latvia to, FINALLY, see Alaska. Of course--my sister footed all their bills, including the plait trip. Them being there was my main reason for going too.
