Alaska - the 49th state
|
The two RV Gypsies have been to Alaska 3 times by RV (2009, 2015 and 2016), plus once by a big cruise ship in 2004, which cannot begin to compare to the RV trips. The Cruise Ship is not included on this TOC, but will be added later in the new Flashback section. Changes and additions are always being made to this very large site. |
