Our family's first trip to Alaska - June 2001
Tony & Margaret Fallone - Rosie Moments Travel
Alaska. Imagine your vacation in Alaska for one moment. Your delight when you spot a grizzly bear with a cub or two in tow. That instant when the silence of a misty fjord is shattered by a pod of giant humpback whales, breaching high into the air, then crashing back against the sea. While your floatplane flies over crystal glaciers, toward the midnight sun, remember: This is Alaska. This is real. This is the adventure of a lifetime. (Travel Alaska)
Alaska is a very special place for us at Rosie Moments Travel. We've been to this great land - and left a part of our heart there. We learned the meaning of 'awe' in Alaska. No where else have we been that has simply taken our breath away. When you're ready for Alaska, let us help you make it the adventure you'll never forget.
