First, you have to choose a travel-shopping site. Bring up your favorite search engine, enter ‘comparing flights’ or something similar, and review the results. You may want to try and few sites and see which you prefer. It does not take that long to perform a fare search and you might find one site has better search functionality or just appeals to you more.

Every site such as compareflights.net lets you search for fares right from the home page. You will have to enter your departure city and destination and provide dates. That is really it although there are other options you can choose like preference for non-stop, type of fare (refundable, non-refundable), and how you would like to sort the fares. Most sites also have an advanced search capability; if you have multiple cities, or would like to include a hotel or car rental.

Once you have input the data and submitted your info, the site searches the fare databases of the carriers it covers. You will be provided with the fares for the destinations and dates you entered. The sites will also show you the lowest possible fare, which may include a stopover or may leave the day before or after your preferred date. Some flexibility in schedule often results in better fares. This all takes just a few minutes of time and can help you save on travel expenses by helping you locate the lowest airfare.

When thinking about vacation destinations this year, why not consider an Alaska Fishing Vacation? One of the most beautiful states in our country, and in addition to so many other fun activities, Alaska offers fantastic fishing!

They say that fishing in Alaska is different from fishing anywhere else in the world and that an Alaska Fishing Vacation is an angler’s dream come true. And it can be as easy as obtaining a fishing license. Did you know that Alaska fishing offers twenty-one different species of sport fishes including five kinds of wild Pacific Salmon? You can head out on your own for one of the awesome lakes or streams, or take a charter boat out to some remote backcountry waterway. Most fishing locations are accessible by road, but those more secluded settings are still easy to get to by air taxis or charter services. Some destinations even include local tour guides that can be hired to lead you through your exciting journey.

One way to plan your trip is with a vacation package and there are many available. The Alaska fishing experience offers day trips and extended stays as well. Think about how relaxing it would be to end your day of abundant fishing in some great, rustic lodge in the woods. Enjoy a hearty meal and then kick back on the porch and listen to the peacefulness of the wild and soak in the beautiful surroundings. Talk about stress relief!

Different areas of Alaska provide different types of fishing. A stay in the South-Central town of Anchorage will give you the opportunity to catch some of the world’s best King Salmon just a few hundred yards from your hotel.

Rving in Alaska

Visit Alaska — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:38:44 +0000

Rving in Alaska is not a two week trip, plan for a much longer time because getting there and back is half the fun, enjoying the stops along the way. But if time is an issue then you have several options. Alaska is a large state with a lot to see,So if you are still working or have school age children you can plan a shorter trip and limit the area you cover. A driver-friendly option is a sea-and-land tour via the Inside Passage. You can load your RV on the BC ferries in Seattle, Washington or British Columbia, or you can fly to Alaska and rent an Rv. If you have the time there are many points of interest in the US and Canada on the way. A trip in itself is sightseeing in Glacier National Park, Calgary, Lake Louise, Baniff and the Edmonton Mall before you get to the Alcan Highway.

Be sure to take a side trip to Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. Experience the historic 1898 narrow gauge Klondike Gold Rush Railroad with breathtaking terrain, beautiful scenery, cascading waterfalls and sky-high trestles. Then back to Whitehorse and on to Tok, where a decision needs to be made whether to go southwest to Anchorage or north to Fairbanks. We went southwest first to Anchorage (largest city in Alaska) with good RV facilities and a place to rest and get supplies. A good side trip is Valdez, south end of the Alaskan pipeline, Museum of the earthquake, fish hatchery, glaciers and viewing the whales from a party boat. We thought that viewing the glaciers from the boat was spectacular. The glaciers were all around us, we had to go very slow as of the glaciers were hidden under the water.

For people who enjoy fishing, then Seward, Soldotna, Kenai and Homer is a must. For Halibut and King Salmon you must take a charter boat or rent a boat. Then back to Anchorage and north to Denali Park. A bus trip through the park is a must, hope it is a clear day so you can see the top of Mount McKinley. Be sure to visit the World largest coal mine just north of the park.

Then on to Fairbanks, be sure to take the Riverboat cruise to learn about the Eskimos way of living and surviving off the land in the frigid winters. They must catch and cure one salmon per sled dog per day. The salmon season is not that long and just think about cleaning that many salmon for ten or twelve dogs. Also while in Fairbanks visit the factory where they make beautiful bowls from trees.

Then back to Tok for the rugged Top of the World Highway that takes you on to Chicken and Dawson City on your way through the Yukon to Whitehorse. Then you must decide your route home, the eastern route back to Edmonton or the Western route to Prince George then the US of A. There are many State Parks in Canada on lakes with Rving Sites.

An investment well worth the money is the Milepost, a book for your trip to and while you are in Alaska, milepost by milepost starting at Dawson Creek, British Columbia, milepost 0. This book makes rving in Alaska easy. Remember your passport as you will soon need one, so it is best to apply for one now.

For An Adventure Of A Lifetime Travel Alaska

Visit Alaska — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:25:44 +0000

Are you like John Locke of the TV series Lost and simply dying for an adventure? Or perhpaps you’re simply bored to death and you want to experience more of life. Have no fear because there’s no need to travel half-way across the globe to taste adventure in the wilds of Africa or the rainforests of South America. Why should you when you’ve got Alaska. Alaska… the 49th state and fondly known as the Land of the Midnight Sun and The Last Frontier.

Most people believe that Alaska, a name which comes from an Aleut word meaning “land that’s not an island” is simply tundra in the middle of nowhere because of it’s distance from the lower 48 states and because most of the stories you hear about it are usually related to the cold and snow and so-called vast, desolate, open spaces. But you thought wrong.

Alaska – the largest state (by land mass) is also one of the least populated – is a land that combines the beautiful snowy scenery of the Alps with the challenge of an adventure trip to the Congo.

Don’t believe me?

That’s okay because I’ve got proof.

River Fishing
When someone mentions Alaska, people usually visualize a land of ice and frozen desert. So it’s a bit hard to imagine people being able to fish in such a place. But like I mentioned earlier, Alaska is a place filled with adventure, a place well worth traveling to.

For your Alaska fishing adventure, you can try your luck at hooking any of a variety of prized fish like: Silver Salmon in Resurrection Bay during August and September, the King Salmon of the Lower Kenai River from May to July or Red (Sockeye) Salmon, Dolly Varden and Rainbow Trout in the Upper Kenai River.

Rafting
Yes, you can raft to your hearts’ content and pretend you’re a lone wanderer having an adventure in the midst of the vast array of Alaskan wildlife. Travel and encounter the many natural wonders of Alaska. Listen to the stories of the natives. Catch a glimpse of moose and bald eagles as you hold on for dear life while traversing the rapids of Kenai River Canyon – a trip that is highly recommended and one that you don’t want to miss.

Backpacking
This is an adventure you must grab because there’s virtually nothing that compares to backpacking in Alaska. You can of course choose your own adventure travel destination: Brooks Range, Artic Refuge, Talkeetna Mountains, and Wrangell-St. Elias to name just a few.

Sea Kayaking
This not so common adventure is one that only traveling to Alaska can bestow upon you. This is not for the feint of heart and make sure, that you don’t attempt this alone.

Expeditions to Walrus Island
So you haven’t seen any of those furry adorable creatures up close? Find yourself aching for more of a marine adventure rather than a landlocked one? Or perhaps you’re content to simply watch. Have no fear because Alaska’s Walrus Island has it all. You can view walrus, other marine mammals and rare bird species from the comfortable deck of a cruising yacht. But if you want a bit more of a challenge, you can take a hiking trip and see more of the Alaskan wildlife.

Dog Sledding
This is probably the most popular sport in Alaska and an adventure worth telling your grandchildren, great grandchildren, friends, barber or whoever will listen. If you so choose, you can simply watch the dog sled races or try it out yourself by mushing your own team. The Siberian huskies, are highly trained so there’s no need to worry about your safety. Plus, if you have the time, you can also visit the renowned author, husky owner and Alaskan original Mary Shields.

Fjord Exploration
If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the sheer scale of an honest-to-goodness glacier that the pages of a book or movie screen just can’t convey then Alaska is the place to be? Unless, of course you prefer Greenland or Iceland for your icy adventure. I think not… and just another of many reasons why we should be thankful for the great State of Alaska.

So… are you now convinced that traveling to Alaska is an adventure that you must not miss? I sure hope so because if you’re not – what’s wrong with you. Just kidding, however before making reservations be sure you’ve got everything you need like clothes for wide range of temperatures and a comfortable pair of hiking boots.

And clearly… compare the available travel packages being offered by the travel agencies that cater to Alaska or you can make your own travel itinerary and then simply hire a guide to assist you along the way. A great place to start planning your trip is Alaska – The Last Frontier. A website dedicated to being a complete resource on Alaska.

Visit Alaska — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:11:44 +0000

By Robin Irving & Tim Warren

Looking for just one more adventure to round out your Alaska Vacation? Prince William Sound is a great addition to an Alaska vacation package that will likely be the highlight of your Alaska Vacation. Incredible marine life, stunning mountain vistas, glaciers and three port cities that offer an array of visitor services, make this an attractive add on. And the Alaska Marine Highway has new and improved ferry service to and from the port cities of Whittier, Cordova and Valdez so trip planning just became easier, faster and more affordable.

Alaska is so large and so diverse that it is often difficult to see it all in one trip. But a trip through Prince William Sound, with a stop-over in each of the three communities will allow you to experience much of what makes Alaska special. And with the Alaska Marine Highway it’s possible to make a loop so as not to repeat any part of your trip, always seeing something new and different.

In less than an hour, you can drive south from Anchorage to the port of Whittier. Whittier, an eclectic relic of a WWII army base is the gateway city of western Prince William Sound. Numerous charter operators large and small and expedition companies leading trips into the Sound can be found in Whittier. Small shops line the harbor offering food and gifts for visitors.

Alaska Marine Highway offers 30% off New High Speed Ferry
There is also a terminal office for the state’s Marine Highway system in Whittier. With its new high speed ferry, the M/V Chenega it is now possible to take a half day cruise across the Sound from Whittier to Cordova. This is called the Marine Highway because you can take your car (or your rental car) on board (highly recommended). And during the summer of 2006, the state is offering some great specials with 30% off all sailings to and from the port of Cordova. The Chenega is a brand new ship offering full amenities. Once on board you’ll feel like you are on a luxury cruise ship with beautiful local art hanging on the walls and its tasteful nautical décor.

The state ferry also has National Forest Interpreters on board to provide a wealth of information on the marine and terrestrial environments of Prince William Sound. Besides the fantastic scenery, you can often see humpback and killer or orca whales, sea lions, sea otters, seals and other marine mammals. Look for puffins, arctic terns and other marine birds as well. For ferry schedule, lodging nature and glacier observation options in the Prince Williams sound visit: www.alaskarafters.com.

Alaska Adventure Travel
Cordova is a jumping off point for some incredible adventure. You will definitely want to spend a couple of days here, before moving on to the next port city. A small fishing port Cordova is quaint, picturesque, and so Alaskan. There are National Forest Trails with giant rainforest trees, road accessible glaciers, sea otters and other marine life. It is a friendly town too. There are outfitters like the experts at Alaska River Expeditions offering everything from river rafting and sea kayaking to glacier trekking, ice climbing and mountain biking.

Choices for lodging vary from a standard hotel or motel with ocean views, to those with great Alaskan appeal. An old cannery is the site for a new adventure lodge; there are nautical inns and wonderful B&B’s. Although there are no 5 star luxury resorts, most lodging choices offer great hospitality and all amenities as well as charm not found in large hotels. There are also several great restaurants offering local cuisine including the famed Copper River Salmon, Mexican, Italian, and Chinese entrees.

Cordova, Alaska – the “Little Switzerland” of Alaska
From Cordova, you can board the “Marine Highway” once again for the Port of Valdez. This is the terminal city for the Alaska Pipeline. You can see tankers loading and view the pipeline. It has cruise ships that dock so there are several shops that cater to visitors. Valdez is often referred to as “little Switzerland” because of the tall mountains surrounding the city.

You can complete your loop by driving north on the Richardson Highway. Waterfalls, glaciers and tall mountains surround you on your drive north through Thompson Pass. As you drive over the mountains to the other side, you will leave the coastal influence and enter another world. The evergreen forests give way to mixed deciduous forests with more birches and aspens, just two hours north of Valdez. The next bigger community north of Valdez is Glennallen. Here you will turn west onto the Glenn Highway. This winding highway takes you through the northern edge of the Chugach Mountains, eventually giving way to the farmland of the Mat-Su Valley. Picturesque farms dot the countryside before entering the more urban areas. Then its south onto the Parks Highway back to Anchorage, completing a great 3-7 day add-on loop for your Alaska vacation.
