I've wanted to go there, but have no desire to make the long drive. Didn't really consider a cruise until I started reading about your trip. That might be my best option.

We loved it, and it's what got us hooked on Alaska. We hope/plan to drive up in the MH to spend the summer there one year .... we mostly want to explore the places en route.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-14328181472241073572013-07-09T19:23:35.089-07:002013-07-09T19:23:35.089-07:00Great post.

One thing about a cruise is no matter how much you want to, you CANNOT WORK!! No meals to prepare, no dishes to wash, no tanks to empty, no grocery shopping...you get the idea!! Man, I think I want to go on another cruise!Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-5954077499716851552013-07-09T08:37:28.319-07:002013-07-09T08:37:28.319-07:00Great post, Chuck!

If we ever travel to Alaska, it'll be on a cruise ship.<br /><br />Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-48125496241562407222013-07-09T05:44:02.300-07:002013-07-09T05:44:02.300-07:00We went to Alaska in 2010, driving all the way fro...We went to Alaska in 2010, driving all the way from central Florida. It was a LONG way, but it wasn't just an Alaska trip. We spent a week in St. Louis, a week around Glacier National Park, Calgary, Banff NP, Jasper NP and saw a lot on the way. Although our path crossed the "Tourist Route" frequently, we got to spend a lot more time in the areas where we found something particularly interesting. However, we could never have done it with time constraints. I would LOVE to do it again. WE didn't find campgrounds to be so expensive and actually spent many nights parked at the roadside rest area with a number of other campers.<br /><br />PaulAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04135849910358829716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37243263.post-40845198576191942792013-07-08T22:19:16.326-07:002013-07-08T22:19:16.326-07:00We've done a lot of cruises too in many differ...We've done a lot of cruises too in many different places.
