Our First Trip to Alaska:

Holland America Cruise Tour

This trip was comprised of five air flights, one cruise ship, three train rides, four boat rides and four bus rides. Realizing what an adventure it was to be, we decided to take our fourteen year old granddaughter along for the trip. Read from here on down through the photo pages, then have a look around. There’s a lot here! (Header theme photo taken of Mt McKinley from the Alaska Railroad between Anchorage and Denali.)
