Carol, I also heard from the "bear professionals" that bells and spray are useless with bears - right after we got all this info, this one girl from Australia took out a huge can of bear spray and tossed it...from then on we just sang loudly on every hike "Hi bear, go away bear, don't eat me bear"!

Kelly, at least you saw a moose though...I was dying to see one the whole trip! Loved the sea otters and puffins too - SO cute! And I agree....there is no way to put Alaska into words.

Mark, great pics! I took that scenic boat cruise too, and I saw sea otters and those harbor seals in your first pic - but they were too far away and it was way too rainy to get a good pic. The bald eagle in the tree was also from that boat ride, and you can see the rain coming down! Love your whale tale pic. Yes, I have more ice climbing pics...I'll post them and a few other pics. It's funny, I also took pics of people sleeping on the boat - the only time they got up was when the boat stopped to look at sea life!
