Alaska
My husband and I are thinking about going to Alaska to work over the summer 2004. My first thought was that it would be fun. After talking to a lot of people about it I don't know what to think. They all seem to think that I would have a terrible time because there isn't much for females to do there (work wise that is) What is your oppinion? Has anyone been there? Stacy Young |

Alaska
My wife and I went last August. This was her suggestion, and her 2nd visit!
She is not particularly outdoorsy, but also wanted something besides the stifling itinerary cruises offer. We did a mostly land tour with Tauck Tours, but you can also book these things independently. There were as many women as men on the tour, and the tour guide was a woman. We were so pleased with the trip, I set up a website of stills and videos of some of the things we saw. http://home.comcast.net/~wrdooley/alaska You may find things a little on the pricy side there; it's remote and things are more expensive to bring in - but it's a must-see, and as they say, "It's OURS!". I felt proud that this was part of the U.S. The high points for me were walking on Mendenhall Glacier, Denali Park and a boat trip out of Seward. I was amazed to learn Alaska's population is only about 630,000, quite a few of which are natives, and that in general the natives seem to have gotten a better shake than, say, our Seminoles and Cherokee. If you go, enjoy! wayne and marsha florida, usa wrote in message ... My husband and I are thinking about going to Alaska to work over the summer 2004. My first thought was that it would be fun.
