Much to my surprise, I loved Alaska! For the past 25 years I have travelled the Caribbean and Mexico but now, I have Alaska and the Yukon on my mind! There was not one thing I did not enjoy about our trip. One thing we wondered when we planned our trip is whether to go flightseeing or not since it was one of the more expensive tours. Well, let me tell you, GO FLIGHTSEEING! Yes, it was expensive but it was well worth every penny! You just can't imagine how beautiful the glaciers and icefields are. Some of our favorite photos are from the plane window. They are incredible! We enjoyed every minute and it changed us forever.
My wife and I took the Holland America cruise to Juneau from Seattle the last week of July this year. I was spellbound. The scenery is so different from any other place we have been. The excursions were the best, and all areas so clean. We enjoyed the Mt. Roberts Tram in Jueau, and the hiking around the area, a great way to be one with the nature. The floatplane trips were beautiful, giving a glimpse of the mountains, lakes and glaciers up close. Everybody I have talked to before and after the trip all say the same thing...nothing like it anywhere. The weather was better than what I expected, with most days needing only a tshirt and jeans. On the water a lite coat was plenty. A good time of the year to experience Alaska.
