After a long but relatively painless travel day, we're back safe and sound in Chicago. The endless blue skies and warmth are a great change of pace from 50s and cloudy for the last 3 weeks. I'm sure the 90s will feel sweltering tomorrow.
All in all, a great trip to Alaska. The entire state is gorgeous, from cruising up the Inside Passage (with NO bad scenery), to the Kenai Peninsula, and up to Denali. Anchorage is really the only place I wouldn't want to return.
The cruise companies have really taken over a lot of the tourism of the state (the only place we didn't really encounter them were on the Kenai, but even saw one tour group in Homer), but once you get beyond the ubiquitous jewelry shops and tour buses, they don't ruin the experience. Cruise passengers are a friendly group, so you get lots of people offering to take your group pictures.
Thanks for reading our blog and keeping up on our journey across the 49th state. Looking forward to seeing the Chicago area readers soon!
