A MYSTICAL JOURNEY<br />
A 7-DAY CRUISE THROUGH ALASKA’S GLACIER COUNTRY<br />
| STORY & PHOTOS BY JOANNE DIBONA |<br />
It took a while to call up adjectives to describe the various<br />
emotions I experienced during my first visit to Alaska.<br />
“Enchanting,” “magical,” “unbelievable,” “overwhelming,” and<br />
“awe-inspiring,” were some of descriptive words that coursed<br />
through my brain as I sat down to write this narrative of a remarkable<br />
travel adventure. I think I finally settled on “mystical.”<br />

and unending forests and tundra, could I understand<br />
their reaction to being as close to untouched nature as many<br />
of us urban dwellers will ever get.
