Glacial? Yes, indeed. I know some people on this forum aren't even 20 years old yet, but my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with a long-planned Alaskan cruise. We just got back and all those great things you hear about an Alaska cruise are true. PM me and I'll give you more details than you really want.
Cutting to the point, they wouldn't allow me to take my uke on the glacier adventure tour in the helicopter due to FAA regulations, but I did manage to get in front of the Mendenhall Glacier and strum a bit.
My girls and I were walking along the pier at Juneau when a tour guide saw me carrying the uke case. He hollered over and said he'd throw in a few coins if I'd play him a tune. I answered by asking instead for a bus ticket to the glacier. It worked! I played for a couple of minutes, he gave me a round trip ticket (worth about $30) and I came away with a story and this great shot in front of the Mendenhall ice.
Nothing says Alaska quite like a ukulele.
