New Half Day Cruise
Let me tell you about a benefit of working in the travel industry – the first to hear about new and exciting tours and adventures. If we are lucky, we get a complimentary ticket.

With 18-20 hours of sun warming the vast tundra and snowcapped mountains can create some crazy weather that is often times unpredictable daily but still maintains an average. The Arctic Ocean, the frigid Baring Sea and the Pacific Ocean also play a major role in the weather system in Alaska. Continue reading
