The Great Scenery
This
is why you should visit to Alaska, because of its beautiful scenery, and
because of all the wonderful lakes. Although Alaska is not the place you
normally would think of to visit makes it worth more the reason you should. I
guarantee you will have a great time visiting Alaska. It also a great place to
go if you want to try new things. I can guarantee if you travel to Alaska you
will do something you have never done before. If its dog mushing, hunting,
fishing, and camping, or maybe even digging for gold I can promise that you
will do something that you have never done before. All of these reasons is why
you should consider traveling to Alaska, Ukudigada (goodbye)!

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteFor this blog post I was actually planning on doing Alaska because I will be going there this summer. I am so excited to visit Alaska and see all the beautiful scenery and adventure that is has to offer. I had been bugging my parents for about 2 years to take a family trip to Alaska and they finally said yes :). I am not going on a cruise but I am simply going to Anchorage and spending about 3 or 4 days exploring Alaska and seeing all that is has to offer. One of my top places that I am looking forward to the most is going to the Alaska Zoo. I am a huge animal lover and I made sure that my parents made it mandatory for us to take a trip there! I am so excited to go and hopefully Alaska will greatly exceed my expectations :)
Hey Nick,
ReplyDeleteI love this blog because my dream destination is also Alaska. I would love to experience all of the activities you talked about under the “Some fun facts” section of the blog. I totally agree with all the descriptions you gave about Alaska and the various recreational activities that hunters and annual visitors can partake in. I have always wanted to see the northern lights however; I forgot to add it to my blog. The constant mentioning of dog mushing reminded me of the time my friends and I tied up our dogs to a sled and tried to have them pull us across the yard. By the way you have great taste in vacation spots. I do hope you get to go there one day and maybe I will run into you while I am there as well. I also found some cheaper prices for traveling to and from Alaska with a room in a hotel.
