Ok, not only do we have the same birthday and we both golf (in my case, sort of), I am visiting the Kenai Fjords this summer. Great tips and photos of the glaciers - I'll remember to dress warmly.

Looks like you had a nice sunny day. We had some rain but it was still the highlight of our Alaska trip.
