That’s a good ship.
Yeah, I am sure the glacier thing is impressive. It will probably be around $600 for 2 persons. The helicopter is $500+ per person.
To be honest, its not the helicopter that worries me it is the number of aircraft flying around on visual rules only.
The advantage of the helicopter is that it leaves you on the glacier and picks you up later.
The ship does go to a fjord that has a glacier up close. I am not sure how flying around to see it is that much better.
You can also book a boat tour that goes even closer for about $300 pp.

Jeff G,
There is a mix here, AZ-06 is rated by most as a pure tossup, IA-03 as tossup or lean GOP.
The rest are considered likely R or strong/safe R.
So they are not terrific polls for the GOP candidates, but not terrible either.

AI is not very encouraging for the Iranians
While military programs generally train dolphins for mission readiness over 5 to 7 years, the U.S. Navy and most experts maintain that training them specifically to attack ships is impractical and likely impossible. [
Current military programs, such as the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program, focus on defensive tasks rather than offensive “attacks”
Bonding: Handlers often spend at least one year simply building a bond of trust with the animal before advanced task training begins.
Mission Readiness: It typically takes 5 to 7 years for a dolphin to be fully trained for complex naval missions.”

It’s a great day.because I get to celebrate this important and momentous cultural heritage day and drink Don Julio margaritas and eat skirt steak tacos with guacamole.
My wife is suspicious that the latter is much more important to me than the former, but I am going to surprise her by having little Mexican flags to stir the margaritas with.
Then I will wait for the apologies.

obviously parents and siblings, a grandfather, good friends I went to school with and grew up with in my little town.
Several men and women in my community and church like some strong church leaders, little league coach.
A few teachers in graded school and high school. One high school coach.
Some good college buddies.
Wife, of course.

First time ever any WV governor of either party is throwing hands in his own party’s primary.
Ugly campaigns all across the state.
U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito is supporting, endorsing, donating thru her PAC to support many of the incumbents .orrisey is opposing.
some if the split is over what side to take on building data centers in WV. Two are being planned here in my county, others on other counties.
