I think I will drop the cruise in Whittier. I do not know exactly what my crews like/dislike. They may not like being on boat 2 days in a row. Besides, they will see glaciers up close for a while on the boat tour from Seward on Day 2 already. By dropping the cruise, we loosen up our schedule on Day 3, and can enjoy our time with additional short activities/attractions instead. Here is a revised plan:

Day 1
- arrive ANC at 1pm, pick up the car
- have lunch somewhere, buy fruits, water, snack, etc. at a supermarket
- drive to Seward, stop at lots of turnouts, Potter Marsh, and Bird Point
- visit SeaLife center if arrive Seward by 5pm
- walk in downtown, have dinner in Seward
- sleep in Seward

Day 2
- take 9am Northwestern Fjord tour (have breakfast + lunch on board)
- return to Seward at 6pm, visit Exit Glacier
- have dinner where? sleep where? (Cooper Landing, Moose Pass, else?)

Day 3
- visit Wildlife Conservation Center
- have lunch where?
- may visit Portage/Byron glaciers (if the crews want to see more glaciers)
- visit Girdwood at 4pm, take aerial tram
- leave Girdwood at 5:30pm (or 6pm if have dinner here)
- arrive ANC at 7pm, check in (have dinner after security if have not had)

What do you think about this plan? The Wildlife Conservation Center and Girdwood are in the plan on Day 3 to add varieties to the trip. I am not sure about the Portage/Byron glaciers. Are there any other activities to consider?

PS to fti: You may post your comments at Trip Advisor for this revised plan. I post this revised plan here as well so that I can hear comments from wider audience. Thank you.
