Alaskan vacation

I have been wanting to go to Alaska forever. I have family there and have never gotten to visit them. My cousin has been trying to get me and the rest of my family to come up for a long time. We have considered it off and on, whether to just go up for a visit or to take a cruise while we are up there. We even looked into alaska hotels to see if we could find one that is near enough to visit family, but also to just enjoy the trip.

This lodge style hotel is just what I am looking for if we decide to go up. I want the full experience of the Alaskan “frontier” style vacation. This kind of hotel embodies that style to it’s fullest.

This is the kind of views you can expect to see in Alaska. I cannot imagine a more beautiful place on earth to visit, I asked my cousin how she could deal with the extreme cold during the winter and she said” The perfect summers make the harsh winters totally worth it”. Can you imagine a “perfect summer”? The perfect temperature all summer long without being too hot at any point is definitely worth experiencing. As much as I love to ski, I don’t think I would ever brave a winter vacation there though. That would be a bit too cold for me.

Car Insurance

I decided to change my car insurance company to a new one. The old one kept adding new fees for this and that, and it really started to make me angry. I found cheap liability insurance and they promised no additional or hidden fees. That made me really happy. I had previously kept the same company for a really long time, but lately every I turned around, I was getting a bill for additional fees etc. That is something you shouldn’t have to deal with when you buy car insurance. I haven’t had any accidents or anything like that to make my payments go up, so it was just infuriating to have them do that.

Now that I found a better company that has better prices as well, I will not have to deal with anything like that again. My car is my baby and I want her insured, but I don’t want it to put me in the poor house doing it either. I needed to do this before I take my annual road trip when we go on vacation. I plan on driving to Florida and going to Disney with the kids, so it was a definite necessity. Add to that the money I will save on it can go towards our vacation.

We are so very excited to be able to go to Disney this year. Usually we go down to the beach, but now that the kids are all old enough to really enjoy Disney, we just have to go. I cannot wait until we get there. I haven’t told the kids where we are going. They think we are going to the beach and we are going to make sure we arrive in the middle of the night, so that the next morning when we get up we can really surprise them. It is going to be so much fun.
