Debating an Alaska cruise next summer (late to the game, I know). But if I'm flying from the east coast of the US to Vancouver, I want to stay for more than a week of the cruise.
Have you done more before or after your Alaska cruise? What did you do?
Some thoughts are renting a car and heading down to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle to Portland maybe, maybe San Juan islands but maybe the cruise will be enough water viewing). I lived there for a while before kids so could show off my old stomping grounds.
Another option is going east from Vancouver to Calgary through the Canadian Rockies. But it's either a long time on a train, or the scenic version is super $$$$ and we're not really super outdoorsy people (an Alaskan cruise is the extent of our outdoorsyness) but I've heard it's absolutely beautiful country.
Entertaining any and all suggestions, the more specific the better! Thanks!
