We left Denali to make way to our final destination, Seward. Seward is a town that was described in the Lonely Planet "being so beautiful it hurts". It is located south of Anchorage on the Kenai peninsula which also features Kenai Fjords Nat'l park. We had a great dinner on the way and continually threatened Ann with taking a tram in a nearby ski resort. I hope it did not ruin her dinner. We got up the next day and did a boat tour. It cost the big bucks, but it was worth it. We had the best weather possible with sun and extraordinarily calm seas. I saw a sign recommending taking something for seasickness, and ignored it (sign said even if you have never had any problems!). One of the workers later was saying the usually he spends his time collecting barf bags (and swells were recently up to 6-8 feet!).

We saw Orca pods twice, humpback twice, Pat's favorite the Puffin, Stellar Sea Lions, and all sorts of crazy sea gulls of all varieties. We pulled up to the Ailiak Glacier for a show, and that was impressive. It was a beautiful day on the water. We debarked and those not allergic to shellfish had some king crab. We trolled around Seward and I managed to stay up late to play cards on our last night together.

The last day, we visited the Alaska Sea Life center which had a lot of really cool exhibits (especially the Puffins, Pat!). I perfected my beluga whale song. We hiked to another salmon choked river, and we saw bear prints. We hiked the Exit Glacier, but we did not get to touch it. Then with great sadness, we headed to the ironically named Ted Stevens International Airport and back to our real lives!
