    Traveling While Black

    I was on the Seven-Day Alaskan Norwegian Cruise in May. One of the ports was Juneau, Alaska. We were there for approximately eight hours.
    I was told there are three ways to get to Juneau, which are from boat, plane, or being born there. Unfortunately, you cannot directly drive there.
    The city center has a few stores, restaurants, and excursion displays. There is a lift that can take you to the top of the mountain to overlook Juneau. I was told it is best to do it when there are fewer clouds, so you can get a good view. I didn’t feel any discomfort or awkwardness being there.
    The main thing we did in Juneau is to go to the Mendenhall Glacier. We paid $48 for transportation and admission to go to The Mendenhall Glacier. The drive to Mendenhall was about 15 minutes. Once we got there, we walked so we can get a closer view of the glacier. There is a hiking trail that takes about 15-20 minutes to the big waterfall. The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center has an exhibition, which shows the history of the glaciers. If you want to see the glacier, I recommend you see it in 10-20 years because it will be gone due to climate change.
    My tip: It can get cold if it is raining and/or windy, so make sure you wear or bring something warm.
