Mendenhall Glacier-© Jeff Slapp Photography I have been fortunate to visit Alaska twice. Both times it was through a cruise (Carnival & Princess).

While you can...

If you plan on visiting The Ark Encounter...

That is why I took the first opportunity to escape the craziness and hit the road in my RV and enjoy a stress-free six weeks visiting part of the Kentucky Bourbon...
