I have been enjoying this beautiful weather. I’ve been able to sit out on my deck most days, and take in the fresh air and sunshine. There is something so relaxing listening to the birds and enjoying a nice breeze. My cat Mowgli has been hanging outside with me, chasing bugs and chipmunks, and lazing in the sun. My oldest daughter Shawna and her partner Henry moved this week to the town next to me. I’m so excited and happy for them and me!!! They both have wonderful new jobs. They did live over 2 hours away, way up North New Hampshire. It’s funny, they’re excited about food delivery options that they didn’t have before. It’s all a matter of perspective. I’ve been extremely busy attending webinars all this week for Travel Entrepreneurship Week, hosted by my host agency. It helps me to stay on top of my game, learning new things about the travel business and what’s going on in the world of travel, which changes hourly. With this Saturday June 20th being Summer solstice, it reminds me of the long days of sunshine I experienced on a cruise to Alaska. The sun was still up at Midnight…and never really completely set. I could enjoy the views from the ship even late at night, and sit out on my verandah. There were whales who would surface and spout water, then slap the water playfully with their tail. There was even a Scottish gentleman who would practice playing his Highland bagpipe after dinner each evening on his stateroom’s verandah. I happened to be sitting out enjoying his music. I noticed a few whales came out to listen to him. They were off to the side of him so he didn’t see them. They stopped, surfaced and listened. Normally the whales would play, but not this time…they were actually listening to him. I saw this Scotsman the next evening, and told him the story. He didn’t believe me at first, but eventually was very pleased and enjoyed hearing my story. What a fabulous trip to Alaska. Have you been? If yes, what did you do? What did you like? Is it on your bucket list? Why? Six most significant reasons you should cruise to The Last Frontier sooner rather than later.Do you have dreams of going to Alaska? Well, make those dreams come true and jump aboard one of Alaska's most popular cruise lines. You won't regret it. We want to tell you of the six most significant reasons you should cruise to The Last Frontier sooner rather than later.
1. You decide which cruise line to take. Sailing in Alaska extends from the middle of May to mid-September. During these months, you won't likely see a shortage of cruise line options. Choose to go on a luxury or expedition-style cruise or maybe something a little more unique. 2. Alaska is desirable to people of all ages and tends to be high up on many bucket lists. Many families come here each year to enjoy the beauty of the great state and the broad scope of activities and events. 3. The wildlife is absolutely out of this world. When traveling to Alaska by cruise ship, don't be surprised to spot bear hunting for fish, whales, eagles, and several other beautiful creatures. 4. Dare to go dog sledding? You may have to take a helicopter ride to get into the mountains first. This could be one thrilling adventure. Best of all, you get to hang with sweet huskies all day. 5. Go on a land tour before or after your cruise. Hike through the Denali National Park or the Kenai River Valley. 6. Sadly, Alaska won't be as charming as it is now, forever. Right now, you can see the nation in all of its iconic glory. From lush forests to enormous glaciers, there is so much to admire before global warming takes it all away. Alaska truly is one of the most magical places on Earth, and it's right here in the United States. If you, like almost everyone else, have "visit Alaska" on your bucket list, what are you waiting for? There's no better way to visit the state than by ship, so contact us now to start learning of all the cruise line options.
