I never got to go there, we planned a Alaskan Inside Passage Cruises when my mom would be Cancer Free or in remission but this just never worked out. I studied allot about the trip we were planning so I'd have to tell you to go. My mom had two brothers who had moved there because of the hunting and fishing and she went up a few times to say her farewells as they too fell to the mighty Cancer and were taken way before their time.  Phil was a lover of the whole idea of never seeing a single person as he went on a number of hunts and the stories where always of the wonders of Alaska and it's beauty. And many trophies for a hunter and or fisherman. My mom said it was the most beautiful place on earth, and that came from a woman who hated being cold. I've never gotten to take that trip we planned, I had many times thought about bringing  her ashes to spread up there but I couldn't because the 23 year friendship friend  I'd asked to go with me who had a sister in the travel business didn't make the deposit on the trip with the money I sent her, and found a slot machine that needed my cash more than going on that trip.  So Never got to go never got the money back, end up being the rotten person because i got mad.  If I had the money I'd been on a trip to Alaska I really think its some where we all should go.

I haven't been there myself but my friend and her husband were stationed up there and they loved it. They were thinking about staying for a while. I was going to go up there to visit them at one time but plans fell through.

I have never been. However, my husband spent 2 weeks there for a job he had to do. He has some great pictures and said he would love to take me there someday. I would say if you get to go do it. My husband said his time away from work was very nice and he enjoyed Alaska very much.

I haven't been but would sure like to go there someday!  My husband and one of our daughters went there for 2 months once several years ago on a sales promotion.  I had hoped they'd be there long enough for me and our youngest daughter to go but that didn't happen.  They found it to be very interesting but my husband says he wouldn't go back.

For years I wanted to live there, but impossible financially and family-wise.

Canada is my second.

Living in Wyoming or Montana is third.

On the bucket list!!  I plan to do an alaskan cruise in summer of 2019.  Then after cruise do about 5 days of excursions on land to see and do fun things.

I went this past September and I loved it.  I definitely want to go back.  I had been wanting to go for a couple of years but the prices were really high in June-July when I wanted to go.  You couldn't rent a car or get a hotel for less than $100.  In September the prices were a lot cheaper we rented a car for $10 a day and hotels were a lot cheaper.  We stayed at a decent for a few nights for $50.

It's beautiful.  I was there a week and we stayed in a couple small towns, saw some glaciers, saw some moose up close, went to a nature preserve.  We drove up Denali.  A lot of stuff was closed or closing for the winter season in early September.  I want to go to back and go to Barrow and watch the whale hunts
