This whole trip started with the idea that I wanted to go sea kayaking in Alaska. Now, we're less than a week before D-day and I still don't have reservations or firm plans for the kayaking portion of the trip. I have narrowed it down to an area of Prince William Sound that I want to visit.... but it requires a water taxi trip and I can't get that coordinated with the kayak rental (don't ask -- I know it doesn't seem like it should be that hard!). I'm scared to find out how much the water taxi will cost. Anyhow, I picked this part of the Sound because there are some glaciers in the Icy Bay area but also a much higher likelihood of seeing whales than in the glacier-laden northern part of the Sound. I'm sure I'm being far too picky about this! I've heard nothing but great things about kayaking in PWS.
