Here are some pics my friend sent me from Alaska where he used to work, about 2 years ago. I can't remember the name of the town though.

Nice pictures, Barney! That's one place I'd love to see! Camping out would be great, but an even bigger draw for me would be to do a cruise which is kind of wimping out, isn't it?

But those fjords and glaciers by cruise ship... how exciting that would be!

Those are some nice pictures. Alaska has some great scenery. Now only if it was not so cold.

I love the pictures. They are absolutely beautiful, well maybe not the one with the antlers.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I love Alaska. It has the most beautiful country in the world.

It is a common misconception that the whole state is cold. Alaska actually has some pretty mild areas and is great for hiking and camping. It is my goal in life to one day, be able to move up there permanently.

That's the best part for me!

I don't do so well in the heat, so a place for camping, hiking, fishing, etc. where it's cooler is perfect for me.

I have a friend in Alaska who does salmon fishing and it always sounds like so much fun camping out at the water when it's so refreshingly cool.

I love the pictures, the scenery looks amazing, I read somewhere recently about Alaskan cruises, it sounds very tempting - but cold!

Of all the cruises available all over the world, I think that if I could choose
just one, it would definitely be Alaska... it far beats a tropical cruise in my
mind. I like coolness better than heat.

Those are great pictures. I've heard people raving about Alaskan cruises, which I still find a little suprising - But I guess the scenery appeals to a different mindset than the people attracted to vacationing in the Caribbean.

It must do because I would love to go on one, but the idea of a more normal type of cruise is a big turn of as far as I'm concerned.
