Alaska!

brerbear8 · 06-21-2005, 02:41 AM

Has anyone ever been to Alaska? I just got back from spending ten days there- ten of the best days of my year! Alaska is AMAZING! We went to fish for salmon in the Kenai peninsula, but also played tourist, hopping on a wildlife/ glacier harbor cruise and a glacier raft ride. If you haven't ever been to Alaska, start saving your pennies! It really was that great.

Did you make it to the Denali preserve?

I'd love to go to Alaska sometime! I'm dying to get a good look at the killer whale population up there. :)

That's one of the top places my wife and I want to visit. A nice long 14 day cruise would be great!

The movie White Fang made me want to go to Alaska. I don't think anything else has since.

I heard the cruises that go there are some of the best in North America. I've wanted to do one a them for a while now.

Never made it that far north- stayed on the Kenai Peninsula. But the thought definitely crossed our minds!

On the harbor cruise we saw many a humpback, but no orca. One humpack put on quite an impressive show for us- one to even rival Sea World!

He (or she) was breaching- about five or six times! Then he was floating and slapping his fins on the water- all pretty close to the boat! That was so amazing.

I don't think Alaska would be my thing. My grandparents went there on a Princess cruise and loved it though. I love the cold weather, but I don't see much there to do besides national parks. I would hate going on a cruise because ur stuck on a boat for too long.
