I have been very fortunate to travel to many places throughout the world but when I’m asked my favorite destination, I don’t hesitate at all: It’s ALASKA!I love majestic landscapes and they just don’t get any bigger or more majestic than our 49th state. In a world of technology and instant media access, we, as human beings, need a place to retreat to and replenish our souls. We need to see and hear the ancient sound of glaciers calving into a cold sea. We need to see a mama grizzly bear and her sow digging up roots in Denali National Park. We need to see Bald eagles soaring past mountain tops and we need to see a humpback whale breach out of a calm and steady sea. We need to reconnect with the primal, wild

parts of our world and when we do, our own souls rejoice and we become replenished. It is a privilege to share this part of our world with others on DIRECTIONS Tours. June is such a beautiful month to journey here, as the mountaintops are still snow covered and all of the animals are waking up and exploring the beginnings of summer. It’s the start of the Alaska season at this time of year and the towns aren’t overrun with tourists like they will be later in the summer.The weather in June is just perfect for exploration. I recommend that my travelers layer as we typically experience weather that ranges from the mid 50’s to near 80 degrees. So, what do I like to do while in Alaska? The very first thing I do is breathe deeply. There is nothing that compares to fresh Alaskan air; it feels like you are breathing for the very first time in your life. In this case, it’s good to inhale! Exploring the local galleries and eateries is something I always look forward to. I never miss the opportunity to have a meal of fresh crab legs and lobster bisque at Tracy’s King Crab Shack ( a discreetly hidden treasure in Juneau!) Exploring Creek Street in Ketchikan and touring Dolly’s Brothel is always a highlight as is

taking in the wonderful, hip art at Coho Soho Art Gallery. I make time to walk the trails and neighborhoods and marvel at the precariously perched Cliffside homes accessed only by long, narrow wooden stairs. I wonder what it would be like to live here and climb those steps every day. Haines, Alaska is

another port that I always look forward to visiting and and I revel in its early history. I like to see how the old Army Barracks are coming along every year, as people are treasuring them and renovating them into the handsome buildings that they deserve to be. Ambling through the Alaskan Indian Arts building I watch skilled Tlingit carvers slowly create wondrous totem poles out of raw wood. I explore small galleries where the owners are

happy to see their customers and take the time to make you feel welcome. I sit in a pub and enjoy an Alaskan White, a glorious local brew. I catch a ferry to Skagway and walk the wooden planked town where the gold rush began in 1897 and I think about how brave and daring those Klondikers

must have been. I book passage on the White Pass narrow gauge railroad far into the wilds to Whitehorse, and feel joyous when I spot a black bear. Lighthearted is how Alaska makes me feel and that feeling always lasts a very long time.Save money and stroll the sights with me, your personal Alaska guide! I am thrilled to journey again in June 2015... won’t you join me and DIRECTIONS Tours!
