The Alaska cruise on a small ship (boat?) for twelve sounds exciting. I've been to the Caribean on the Fantasy Ship. It was luxurious and I loved the islands. But Alaska sounds like an adventure.
Seems like sometimes you need to just go to a beach and vege' and other times you need adventure.
A while back my husband and I went around the world. We decided ahead of time it would be an adventure. We determined to see and do all we could all the way around. For almost three months, we got up early every day and went to bed late every night. We made as many plans ahead as we could and approached it like a job. We learned a lot about cultures around the world and we came home exhausted, but we had some wonderful memories.
I guess there's room in life for both and how wonderful to have the opportunity to visit Alaska while it is relatively unspoiled.
