levy, never been to Alaska. One of those near the top of my Must Do list. The Kenai Penninsula is probably a day or weekend trip from Ancourage. Kodiak Island has the brown bears. I'm sure your cruise will hit Glaciar (sp??) Bay, and the cute towns in SE Alaska: Ketchikan, Seward, etc. Let me know what you think! ps. No moss grows under your feet, does it!

The last time I was in Maui I tried snorkelling for the first time - went WAY out on catamaaran...followed group down ladder, put face in water and discovered much to my amazement my heart was beating so fast it was almost propelling me through the water. I was shocked to find myself the equivalent of standing on the edge of a 75-storey building looking down..it was so clear. What I couldn't fathom however was the "Seahunt"-type echoes of the deep resounding in my ears and I panicked big time. In my desperation to grovel back to the boat, I used one hand to fumble with my mask (so I could see) and the other hand to blindly search for the boat's ladder..all the while fighting the swells which eventually managed to remove my bikini top! Needless to say, it was probably one of life's most embarrassing moments for me...struggling to get back up the ladder with shoes way too big and gasping for air. How undignified to be greeted by the "other" non-snorkellers that way! (could we go somewhere else?) (ggg> Edit: that is, if I ever get on the list!!!

Yo, levy...I have been to Alaska many times...my grandparents live in Anchorage. I have not done the cruise however. I have done small boat trips in Seward and Prince William Sound many, many times. Talk about wildlife...whales, otters, eagles, moose, puffins, sea lions all on one trip. And to watch the Glaciers calve is inspiring! I know some people from the cruises take the train to Mt. McKinley...I was there last summer...saw many grizzleys. Anything you do in Alaska will be a treasure for you. Does the cruise go to Kodiak? If so...you must go view the bears gorging on salmon! As for snorkeling on Palau...I saw an IMAX movie about Palau...what an amazing place. Did you go to the lake of Jellyfish???
