I never got to go there, we planned a Alaskan Inside Passage Cruises when my mom would be Cancer Free or in remission but this just never worked out. I studied allot about the trip we were planning so I'd have to tell you to go. My mom had two brothers who had moved there because of the hunting and fishing and she went up a few times to say her farewells as they too fell to the mighty Cancer and were taken way before their time. Phil was a lover of the whole idea of never seeing a single person as he went on a number of hunts and the stories where always of the wonders of Alaska and it's beauty. And many trophies for a hunter and or fisherman. My mom said it was the most beautiful place on earth, and that came from a woman who hated being cold. I've never gotten to take that trip we planned, I had many times thought about bringing her ashes to spread up there but I couldn't because the 23 year friendship friend I'd asked to go with me who had a sister in the travel business didn't make the deposit on the trip with the money I sent her, and found a slot machine that needed my cash more than going on that trip. So Never got to go never got the money back, end up being the rotten person because i got mad. If I had the money I'd been on a trip to Alaska I really think its some where we all should go.
