We arrived at Seward at 7:00 am this morning and, after a quick breakfast, were ready for disembarking.

At around 9:00 am, we set off on the 200 km drive in a private van, which we shared with another couple from the cruise.

We stopped along the way at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to view some of the local wildlife.

We got the sirport around lunchtime, checked in, and relaxed before our 3:45 pm departure on Air Canada to Vancouver. After a pleasant flight, we collected our hire car and drove two hours north to Whistler, where we’ll be spending the next two nights.

It was evening when we got to Whistler and checked into the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel. We had room service for dinner and then headed to bed.

Tomorrow, we have no fixed plans; we’ll just explore the local area which, based on what we have seen so far, looks very beautiful.
