Comments on: The Top 10 Reasons To Cruise Alaska http://www.mychicagorant.com/unbelievable-but-true/the-top-10-reasons-to-cruise-alaska Everything That Really Pisses You Off About Chicago Sat, 26 Feb 2011 06:07:59 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: James S http://www.mychicagorant.com/unbelievable-but-true/the-top-10-reasons-to-cruise-alaska/comment-page-1#comment-2572 James S Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:43:59 +0000 http://www.mychicagorant.com/unbelievable-but-true/the-top-10-reasons-to-cruise-alaska#comment-2572 Been to Alaska twice. The best way, in my opinion, is by car. Inland you get to see the interior of the mountain ranges and places like Beluga point and Glacier Bay. Also, if your feeling adventurous take a small plane trip out to some of the out lying coastal and inland towns not accessible by roads. If you are going to Anchorage you must drive the 120 miles out to Seward. A small fishing community northeast of Anchorage. The drive is beautiful and there, last I remember, is a delicious Italian restaurant there. Speaking of food look for a place in Anchorage called the Sourdough Mining Company (great ribs). Even better if you want to see something neat go to Earthquake Park in Anchorage. A lot of good history there and I also had a moose come up to me and try to eat my camera. I would recommend flying to Anchorage and getting a rental car. The drive up through Washington and Canada is a bit grueling and the road can be a little treacherous at times especially in the winter months. There are some great seafood restaurants right on the bay that serve fresh seafood right off the fishing boats. Enjoy your trip. You will never see a more beautiful place.<br><b>References : </b><br> Been to Alaska twice. The best way, in my opinion, is by car.
