[quote=Anonymous]I've done both a non-cruise trip and a cruise trip.  If you're up for "light" adventure (which is a good way to describe us), I would definitely do a non-cruise trip.  We flew into Anchorage, stayed there 2-3 nights and did some hiking nearby and saw a really neat Native cemetery (don't remember the name).  Then we drove to Seward and stayed there 3-4 nights, and went on a wildlife/glacier day cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park where we saw whales.  We also did some hiking up to a glacier in Kenai Fjords and a guided half-day kayaking trip.  We then drove up to Denali National Park and stayed outside there for 3 nights, rode the bus into the park and did a little hiking.

The cruise was fine, but it's hard to feel like you're getting away from it all--the shore excursions are all with a bunch of other people, and the towns are pretty touristy.

Alaska was very easy to drive around in the summer.

Alaska for Dummies and the Milepost guidebooks were helpful.

I'm sure you'll have a great trip![/quote]
