Slightly different Alaska trip
We would like to go to Alaska next spring but hubby absolutely refuses to take our RV up there. So we are looking at flying into Fairbanks, renting an RV for a week of look see in that area. Droppin...

I thought long and hard about flying up and renting an RV. Finally decided I wanted someone else to worry about where I'd spend the night and where I'd eat. I took a tour/cruise option - fly into Anchorage, train up to Denali, bus to Seward, boat to Vancouver. Water, trees, a few animals. There's really not much to see without taking the local tours that are easy to arrange on a cruise. Worth the trip and now I'm satisfied I know what Alaska is like. For the future, there's just as good scenery and animals in the Rockies and much closer.
Before we got to Fairbanks we knew that the trip had become an ADVENTURE and we're planning to return in 2016.
We saw many cruise line tour buses and drove past their lodges. And we saw many of the cruisers in the Juneau and Skagway Caribbean jewelry stores as we continued enjoying the locals...
Hopefully someday we'll get to see more of SE Alaska via water. But I do wonder how much the cruisers saw being in port for the day and cruising at night.
