    Did you see me buzzing over in a Temsco Helicpoter? We flew out to the Meade Glacier. I decided to fork over the money and it was SO worth it!

    Our turns are usually turn and burns. Arrive, let passengers off, clean boat, board passengers, and leave. Rinse and repeat anywhere between 6 and 10 times per day.

    Not that I had any free time there.

    I'd love to get on a glacier, even just to hike around. The cruise line wants $282 per person for 40 minutes of flying and 40 minutes of glacier time.

    • I think that this season Promech air will be offering a glacier flightseeing flight in a Twotter.
    • If they get the boat up and running, supposedly the glacier point excursion is pretty cool.
    • You could do a fishing charter.
    • Take a boat over to Haines and do an Eagle preserve tour, or just wander around Haines.
    • There are a couple hikes you could do to the upper and lower dewey lakes.
    Like I said, I dont know what all is offered, but you could try those.

    We can replace auroras with fireworks

    Does your boat stop in Haines or Skagway? If it is Skagway you may get to see our local display because it seem like the ships cruise by about midnight.

    I wasn't thinking... I forgot they have like 20 hours of daylight up there in the summer.

    Yea usually when you are on your way home from the bars/pubs the lights are pretty good.
