My travels: Alaska cruise

Lets talk travel. I love to cruise. Cruise ships are one big floating resort.  I love that cruise ships take you to your destinations. I just got back from a really enjoyable cruise to Alaska, with a stop in British Columbia.

For the most part, I think Alaska looks like North Bend --  high mountains covered in snow and little towns nestled among them. But I want to give a shout out to two little gems you really should see on a cruise to Alaska. First, the town of Skagway, Alaska. There be gold in them hills. As a jumping off point to the gold fields, this little town really has a whole lot of charm. It's simple and refreshing and they have a really neat train.

The other place is Victoria, British Columbia. This little city is amazing. I found a petting zoo at the local park, the baby goats are a must see. A relaxing stroll in the park was needed after a week of eating like hog on the cruise. I also drove out to Butchart Gardens. I consider Butchart Gardens a must-see in any of your world travels. This is a magical place full of beautiful plants and flowers.

Next month, I am off to cruise to Venice, Italy. Really looking forward to this cruise. If you have any gems from your travels, let me know. Always love to find new and exciting places to visit.
