You have to see it at least once. There is no other place like Alaska. Alaska had been on my bucket list for years. I decided to book a cruise on Holland America and just go. Out of the blue, a friend (who gambles) decided to go with me. We were upgraded to the Neptune Suite on the Eurodam-first class treatment. Our suite had a full verandah, dressing area, and living room. We had our own private lounge with free laundry, champagne, chocolates etc.
I am not a professional photographer so forgive the quality of the pics. We visited Seattle, Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria.
Glacier Bay-Mendenhall Glacier
Whales in Sitka
Whorehouse in Ketchikan
Eagles and Bears in Sitka
Butchart Gardens in Victoria-this was one of my favorite places in the whole trip.

My dad was stationed in Alaska in the late 50's but retired and returned home a year before I was born. Then when I was 22 and just starting a new career at a nuclear power plant they went on a 3 month trip to Alaska. I've seen so many photos and heard so many stories. I want so badly to go and see with my own eyes.
