Visiting Alaska has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and now I've finally been. It is quite the amazing state, incredible beauty wherever you go (at least from Homer to Talkeetna which is where we were) and as much wildlife as you could hope for. We went for 9 days, but with 20 hours of daylight it felt like 18. I can honestly say it was one of the best vacations of my life and I'm looking forward to the next time I return.
