Helicopter to the icefield

Juneau Travel Blog › entry 14 of 31 › view trip summary

Well I finally got my husband to go overseas. He was hooked the first day. Vancouver, Alaskan cruise, ending in Los Angeles. Hubby also got to drive a Mustang convertable while in Canada and a brand new Harley in Los Angeles.

Helicopter to the icefield

Today Andrew and I are heading off on different tours. We had booked the same one but it was a landing on the icefields for 1 hour. I thought "why would I want to stand on an ice field for that long, so I cancelled mine and booked onto what I thought was just a flight over the icefield. I was happy with that. Andrew took the camera and I took the video recorder.  When I went to get on my bus I found out that we were landing for half an hour! The bus driver was great and the helicopter flight was fantastic. Even being on the icefield was good and the time went quickly. I could have gone with Andrew but never mind. We went to different areas so we didn't see each other until we met back on deck.
