Back from Alaska and, wow, what a beautiful state. I couldn't get over all clean and blue everything is, plus I LOVED the ease of driving Alaska's very well maintained highway system. I braved myself for traffic caused by construction, but wow, what Alaska calls traffic isn't even close to the congestion of Bay Area traffic during the down times!
I'm still going over the photos from the trip, but here are a few taken at Prince William Sound for now. I'll also be updating with the final itinerary we decided on, along with how I'd do the trip differently. Overall, I can't emphasis how easy it is to travel in Alaska, there really is absolutely no reason to go through an organized tour or limit yourself to traveling by cruise ship. With only two months to plan a trip to Alaska during high season, I really don't understand why it's advised to plan up to a year in advance! Yes, we probably could have found a better deal and lower prices had we planned the trip long in advance, but that's just not how my family does things!
