His response (and he was serious):
"No. They only have the real good deals early on. I don't want to go before tourist season starts because I don't think they put the glaciers out until June".

Maybe the patient doesn't put his brain in until June.
Love your blog, it's a hoot!
He hasn't got a brain to put in!
Good point. I'll order an MRI to see if he does.
what I'd like to know is where they store them in the off-season?
Oh they keep them down near Antarctica during the off-season - we have all our cruises over the New Year period.
Then they tow them back up to Alaska in time for the tourist season there. Sometimes they stop off in New Zealand for maintenance on the way.
No point having two sets of glaciers doing the rounds.
Maybe since we are in a recession they will put the sun away early this year and go ahead and bring out the glaciers.
Wow,must be a big storage room for all those glaciers.....
Maybe he is waiting for the Titanic reinactment?
Is it any wonder that some folks still don't get global warming, or wouldn't mind tearing up Katmai? Suppose they'd think that they could install a tram-way up the north face of Denali?
I think what he meant is that the ships don't visit the glaciers up close until later in the season because of all the calving when it's warmer. Often the areas near the glaciers will be too full of ice for the ship to get close until it cools down a bit.
Lovely. How do you keep a straight face?

They must keep those glaciers with the other half of Half-Dome.
