Alaska Trip

Before I record (if I do) my thoughts on my Alaskan journey, I thought it would be best to record what happened each day so I could more accurately remember later all my adventures. Here goes:
Sunday (6/15) - Bike ride through Anchorage, saw moose
Monday - Disc golf, coastal trail, Flat Top Mountain
Tuesday - First kayak trip, went camping on beach, first bear encounter
Wednesday - Bike ride back to cabin, climbed Twin Peaks
Thursday - Went out on trail with Charlie to recover kayaks, Bear Tooth movie
Friday - 26 Glacier Cruise for Vanessa's birthday in Whittier, train ride
Saturday - 7 am bus for Seward, climbed Mount Marathon
Sunday - 8 1/2 hour cruise of Kenai Fjords National Park, dinner at Fox Island, saw first whale in the wild
Monday - Glacier hiking in K. Fjords Park on Exit Glacier, first hitchhiking experience, read "The Catcher in the Rye" on the bus back to Anchorage
Tuesday - Helped injured Vanessa with kayaks, biked to Serenity Falls cabin past two bears, met two girls at cabin and attempted a group hike to Eklutna Glacier on unmarked trail
Wednesday - Biked back early to rental cabin past two more bears, helped with large group of kayakers, saw dead moose hit by SUV
Thursday - Unsuccessful zoo visit, looked at souvenier shops, watched 'Blades of Glory' at Michael's, went to airport

Perhaps I'll publish some of the funnier stories from these terse explanations.
