A little bit of trivia for the geographically challenged...Honolulu, Hawai'i and one other United States capital is only accessible by air or sea. Name it!
If you guessed Juneau, AK you are correct! Some think that driving is possible, but Juneau is surrounded by glacial flows, which are constantly moving, thus making road construction impossible. So this may shed a little light as to why Alaskan Seafood costs what it does, air travel is not cheap! Also, since we are talking about driving, Juneau has the only 'drive-up glacier' all others are only reachable by sea or helicopter. Below is the Mendenhall Glacier.
During a earlier trip to Alaska I had the fortune to witness a glacier calving, AND caught it on video! Enjoy...
Until next time, "Eat Well...Or Don't Eat at All!"
Cheers!
