Hi Marjy, sorry for the late reply! We had a fantastic time. There were only 35 people on our cruise - the week prior was I believe 71 and the next group going out when we disembarked was 74 ...what a blessing. We got 2.5 days of decent weather so I was happy, just getting that and when we get back home it dropped from the 70;s (week prior) to the 50's - no seasonal change issues at all - ugghhh. The food was fabulous, the guides and crew were wonderful and I am highly recommending to all who listen, to go Uncruise - I even tried snorkeling ( I lasted a whole half hour!). The only misgiving was thinking I could get away with quick wicking pants over leggings for all the outings and that was a mistake - should have packed rain pants. Thank you so much for all your help with this adventure! Kind regards, EC

Dear Marjy, Thank you so much for the note – and especially thank you for all of your help! You were always so prompt and responsive – and provided great input/feedback. We really enjoyed working with you – and will recommend you if we know of anyone traveling to Alaska. We had a great time – in spite of all the rain! We’re very happy we went with the Lindblad cruise instead of UnCruise – the accommodations were very nice – even though very small! 😊 We especially enjoyed the Zodiac excursions off the boat. And we’re so thankful that all three of our national park flights were able to go. (It was really nice of you to follow up with Copper Valley Air to see whether or not we made it up!) The driving all went well – directions were great – it was easy to get around. We both agree our top three things from this trip would be: • Taking the Zodiac to the Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm – absolutely amazing to see the calving so close…. • The Copper Valley Air flight over Wrangell-St Elias – what a great organization – everyone was very personable – and focused on safety as well as customer enjoyment. Our flight went for almost three hours – including the landing at the May Creek Air Strip. We had two pilots – one was new to the organization (but experienced) and learning the ‘script’. It was awesome! • Seeing the 13 bears at Lake Clark National Park – several were pretty far away – but there was a mama and two cubs (probably a year or two old) that we watched climb up a wall to nap – they were probably only 30 yards away – maybe even closer. "L" took over 2300 pictures on his Nikon camera – and I took almost 600 on my phone. Will send you a few favorites once we get through them all! Again, thank you very much for all your help. You worked very hard to put together a wonderful adventure for us. Memories will last a lifetime. Wishing you the best~ D&L
