CRUISING AND TOURING ALASKA
Sometimes we’ll hear people talk about wanting to travel someplace that’s not crowded with tourists or hasn’t been overrun by the tourist industry. Cruising to Alaska is becoming more popular and provides an experience of a lifetime! The Alaskan cruising season is very short; it only runs May to September. Because of the shorter season and how popular this destination has become these cruises should be booked at least a year in advance. A cruise to Alaska is like no other! You’ll see glaciers and wild life, ride a glass-domed railcar to view North America’s highest mountain peak, Mt. McKinley. Like fuzzy puppies? You will even see and hold future sled dogs. Like fish? Have you ever tried fresh Salmon or Alaskan King Crab? On your Alaskan cruise get ready to dig in! Our cruise Alaska was the trip of a lifetime. Would we do this again? YES, in an instant.
Here are just some of the photos that we took when our vacation of a lifetime.

Thanks for sharing your cruise adventures. (I found your blog thru your daughter's signature line on crochetville.) Hubby and I did the Alaskan cruise this past Sept. Boy would I love to go back! Gonna take some time to look at your past cruises too. I leave in Oct for my 3rd Bahama cruise out of Port Canaveral (only 30 minutes from home)
My mom and stepdad are right now on their way back from 2 weeks in Alaska - they did a one way cruise. From what I've heard, they LOVED it. My mom's blog is over at www.hubcapsrevenge.blogspot.com I will try to get her to post about her trip!
