The folks I feel sorry for
Are the ones who take a cruise to alaska, then the train to the cruise lines' hotel and then fly back home and tell everybody they've seen Alaska! We just spent the whole summer cruising around Alask...

The cruise ships and connecting bus tours enable folks to see parts of Alaska and many enjoy these trips. Alaska is so huge that it is impossible to see it all in ones lifetime, IMHO. It is said that if a person drives all the paved roads in Alaska, they will have seen approx 5% of the state. Add in all the gravel roads and the figure goes up to about 10% of the state seen. So it takes some boating and a lot of flying to see the rest of the state.
Many of our forum members seem to enjoy mixing their Alaska time, sometimes they cruise, sometimes fly and rent an RV, sometimes fly and motel it or drive their RV to Alaska to visit. However a person chooses to visit the north country, usually turns into the trip of their lifetime and then they start planning their next adventure north.
