So, I'm going to be honest...I had ZERO interest in seeing Alaska. As it turned out, I cancelled my Paris/Nice trip and instead sent my son on a one month Contiki tour to Europe. I thought he would enjoy that more, being twenty-two and all...so all of a sudden I was free to go somewhere else, after losing about $300 in pre-paid stuff in France that I had no way to recover...So, I snuck in a great solo trip to Vegas when he left but knew I would still want something more for vacation this year...
