It was less than a year ago that I had been on a cruise to Alaska with my family which still stands out as THE BEST family trip we all have ever had. So much so that my mommy pledged that every family trip has to be Cruise to Alaska :) So when me and wifey decided to take a trip, the expectation that we would love it there in Alaska, even without a cruise, was only natural.
