With so many other things to see you don't want to waste any time. One more website to see Juneau and ISP. TheSnowCloud Juneau area Webcams If you take “The Blue Bus” (tickets available at a kiosk near the Tram) it will drop you at the parking lot for the Mendenhall Visitor Center. It is a direct bus to the glacier and not a city bus that makes multiple stops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denise T Posted May 26, 2023 Author #127 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Today is the beginning of our great adventure to Alaska. Today is for last minute packing and errands (bank, prescriptions). Cats will be dropped at the vet for boarding. They no something is up. Boarding passes are printed. We will be heading to the hotel near the airport later this afternoon. Must be at the airport on Saturday at 4:30 am. Will need lots of coffee. I cannot believe that the time is here. Can't wait to join my brother and sister-in-law as we sail to Alaska. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
