Every couple of years, my husband, Richard, and I take a major vacation. This year we chose to do Alaska. Because of the size and complexity of travel in the state, we went on a packaged tour, something neither of us normally do. We much prefer the freedom of exploring on our own without the constraint of someone else's agenda and time limits. 

Our tour package was booked by American Express through Holland America. We chose a land and sea 13 day package and left Orlando, Florida, at the end of August, 2002. This worked out to be a wonderful time to travel for us. Mosquito and tourist season were almost over (Alaska tourism closes down the 3rd week in Sept.), there were shopping bargains to be had, the weather was clear (except for one rainy day), the temperatures ranged between 45 and 60. We only used our winter parkas one day, then packed them away and dressed in layers.
