Today has been a very laid back kind of day here in Skagway, Alaska. Doing a sea and land tour of Alaska is turning into a real adventure. Today has been a free day for our tour group and it’s been nice to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to be extra lazy. Not many shops open today which is a rare thing with it being tourist season. Mr. Gossett and I spoke with a gentleman who worked with an information center and we found out that there were no cruise ships docked today so, they had a day to regroup. Typically, when tourist season begins here in Alaska, it’s a 24/7 endeavor. They stay busy all season long. Skagway does have a housing problem though. There are lots of places that want to hire seasonal workers and there are seasonal workers that want jobs but…..there’s not enough places for all of them to stay for the season.
