Day 46 - Score! ; Rod

We secured our permit for entry into Glacier Bay today!  It was a rather tortuous process getting one. After telling us they never received our application, they eventually gave us a short notice permit and then admitted to using the information off the "application submitted in May..."  That would be the one they say they never got.  Who knows what goes on in the halls of Montezuma. Whatever the case, we have our green light.  Kay, Vi and I will be entering Glacier Bay on June 30.  That's a day ahead of our master plan with permission to stay until July 5th.  We get to spend the Fourth of July in Glacier Bay!  I suppose fireworks would be frowned upon.

Lavanya and Jason just left the boat in a flurry of hugs and handshakes; Frederic and Marta will soon be following in their wake, taking the same flight out of Juneau.  What a terrific couple of weeks it has been with them all.
