Alaska is beautiful...fresh air and a special deal to it somehow. We took a Holland American cruise 2011 out of Seattle and I think Sika was the farthest port we went to then back to Vancouver and too bus back to Seattle. Next month we are flying to Anchorage staying for 2 day then off to Seward to get on Holland and cruise to Vancouver and bus to Seattle before flying back to Phoenix. My youngest sister lives in Seattle so we will spend a few day day with and hubby in beautiful green Bainbridge Island.
I think you would enjoy at trip to Alaska, I would say check it out.
