Cruising to Alaska in October. Yes we know it will be cold.


Recommended Posts

So this August will be our 25th wedding anniversary. Since I work for the local Catholic school and our school year starts back the first week of August doing something then is not possible. However, we have a nice long fall break the first week in October. So Steve and I are booked on the Norwegian Bliss that week. Thanks to Jason for helping me in getting that booked. 

Our ports include Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. We also have a day cruising through Glacier Bay.

So I have a question. Would it be weird for us to do separate excursions for the Mendenhall Glacier? Steve is more active (better physical condition than me) and I was thinking he might really enjoy an excursion that included a more strenuous hike.

Not weird at all.  It's very mentally satisfying to accommodate the abilities of each person in a couple, even if that means you experience it separately.  It also gives you great conversation fodder, since you will each have different perspectives.

I don't think it would be weird as it offers both of you something you can enjoy.

Thank you for your response.

Thank you. That was my thought as well.

Don't know how I missed this earlier....

The Mendenhall Glacier is only as physical as you want to make it. Linda and I do it all the time and we are both on scooters.  You can spend a lot of time in the visitor center and Steve can walk the trail to the water fall if he so desires.  No need to do it separately.
