On this cruise, I was able to learn about diversity and cultures through the local natives in Alaska. Not only was I able to see the White Capp Mountains and spectacular scenary, but I was able to go white water rafting in Ketchikan, and go zip lining through the Alaskan Rain Forest. Now, I know what you’re thinking. How was I able to make this trip for myself on an affordable budget? Well, according to USA TODAY, there are many ways.

Viewing of the Route through Alaska
When I traveled to Alaska, the weather was absolutely perfect with low 70°s during the day and mid to upper 50°s in the evenings. Many people think that there aren’t many activities to do in Alaska, when in reality there are many attractions, restaurants, shops, and venues to see. Whale watching is a “must do” attraction while visiting. Not only will you see a variety of sea life, which include whales of all types, sea lions, porpoises, and dolphins, but you also get the experience of sailing out miles into the Arctic Ocean near Auke Bay. One stop that we made while whale watching, and would highly recommend, is a quaint restaurant called Orca Point Lodge, located on a little island near Juneau. Its a family friendly mom and pop restaurant that serves homemade clam chowder and baked salmon. Allen Marine Tours is a great site that will give you more information on Orca Point Lodge and its background and history. On my Alaskan cruise, we went through a very narrow passage called Tracey’s Arm. This was spectacular scenery because there were large glacier mountains on both sides of the ship. At the end of the passage, we were able to get about half a mile distance from the glacier. It was definitley a picture worthy sight! This was something that I had never experienced before, and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. So, if you want to experience the excitement and the different wonders of the world, start traveling today! Traveling is for all ages young and old. It’s never too late to start. Global Connect is just an easy way to start looking into something that you already love.
