Alaska - The Great Land


Alaska is a destination that surpasses one's expectations. The season for prime touring is short by most standards. Most people visit between early May and mid October. and even then the weather can be unpredictable. Denali is a very elusive mountain and you need to plan to stay at a lodge at least two nights and even then you may never see it. Cruising and cruise tours give people the best opportunities for viewing both spectacular scenery as well as wildlife and if the weather is cold and rainy then you can always seek an interior spot and watch the scenery glide by. A trip to Alaska will delight even the most finicky traveler and this year the deals are out there.

Travel tip. One major cruise line is offering two-for-one rates on selected cruise tour dates. But the deal is based upon availability and they will not keep this out on the market for long. A deposit will hold your space and the deal. You can pay the balance about 70 days before your trip.
