I have been to many places in Alaska, Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchecan, and Fairbanks. I was there in the military, both the U.S. Coast Guard doing fishery patrols of a 378 foot cutter in 1977 and 1978, and when I was in the Calif. Air National Guard installing LAN cable on the Air Force base in Fairbanks.
I liked seeing moose.
I urge everyone to go to Alaska and a cruise would be a great way to see some of Alaska. Try to find a cruise that goes up the inland passage.
