We had two trips to Alaska planned for this year: an RV trip to visit 7 of the 8 National Parks... which didn't exactly go as planned. And a week on a cruise ship to catch the last National Park in Alaska, Glacier Bay, which one can only reach via boat.
Although our RV trip didn't work out, we were able to do the cruise to Alaska. So that officially completes our visiting all 50 states.
I'll do one post per day about this trip, starting with embarkation day.
