My wife and I plan to be in Alaska Sept. 2-7, starting in Anchorage, spend a few days there (Hotel? B&B?) and then take a train south to Seward. We set sail on the MS Zaandam from there on Sept. 7 heading south to Vancouver.
Has anyone been to either city before? Recommendations on where best to stay and eat would be welcome. And from Seward is it really a tiny, 3,000 people place? Or can we get a trip down to Kodiak from there and see some bears, etc.
We hope to find enough things to see and do for the five days we are in Alaska, but not spending for luxury lodges. Any suggestions for Sept. 3-7th are welcome.
Plus if your plans are also to catch a cruise ship south, let us know and we can meet on board the Holland-American lines ship in Seward. My brother + Frau will be joining us then.
Thanks for any tips.
