Should we visit Alaska by water (cruise) or land?

Every year we do a family vacation. Typically, this means packing the tent in the SUV, and hitting the road to discover some new part of the Western US, where we live. Every 5th year, however, we splurge on a big vacation, and 2010 is our splurge year.

This year, we are planning on going to AK! We are debating between taking a cruise or flying into Anchorage and exploring via rental car/RV. We love exploring nature, seeing wildlife, camping, and hiking, and love to get away from the crowds and enjoy our vacations on our own terms… spontaneously, with a flexibly-planned agenda. That said, we think that a land-based vacation in Southern AK would be our best bet.

However, we are also strongly considering a cruise for the following reasons:

1) None of us have ever been on a cruise
2) We love the ocean and sailing on boats
3) Airfare, hotel, vehicle rental + food may cost MORE than a cruise
4) We live in Seattle, so we could drive to Seattle and/or Vancouver for the cruise ship, limiting/eliminating airfare altogether
5) For seeing the inside passage, the logistics of a cruise ship make total sense (BTW, we’ve also priced out the ferry system, and it seems pretty pricey too!)
6) It is totally different than our non-splurge vacations where we spend so much time in the car, so the kids would probably love the change of pace/scenery.

For those who may be saying, “why not do both?” I couldn’t agree more! What could be better than taking a cruise from Seattle to Seward, and then renting a car to explore Southern AK, staying in hotels along the way, and then flying home to Seattle? This would be awesome, if the cost weren’t prohibitive!

So, if you were in our shoes, what would you do and why?

Driving from San Diego, California to Vancouver, Canada?

Hi, I currently live in San Diego, CA and I am planning to move to Canada next year.
I’ll be bringing my 2 cats, and some of my stuff (maybe with a U-Haul trailer attached to my car) I know about customs for my cats…
The main thing I am trying to find out now is how long it might take to drive from San Diego, to Vancouver in Summer or Fall (somewhere between July and November) with the purpose of moving (not sight seeing) for one person. I’m also wondering what the costs might be for the travel expense: gas, food, hotel that the cats are allowed in, and the U-haul trailer rental.

Thanks for any advice!

Americans Driving In Canada?

I have some family in canada – Kamloops, BC – and one is not well. I and some other US family are likely going to be flying into Vancouver and getting a rental car.
What are the rules for Americans driving in Canada? Can I get a rental car? Is my US License acceptable? Should I contact my regular insurance company for covering me while driving a rental car – is that possible?

When I went for pleasure, my Canadian relatives drove me around in their vehicles so I am completely unfamiliar with the rules.

Your answers are greatly appreciated!!
I may end up flying right into Kamloops. Is Kelowna’s airport bigger? That might be an option.
It just looked to be very cost effective to fly into Vancouver as there are probably going to be 5 of us going.

Affordable rentals around Vancouver?

Hi

I will be moving to Canada soon and have been searching for good shared accommodation around Vancouver. I will need to visit Vancouver once every 10 days preferably in my car.

Can anyone suggest affordable places…one thing I am just out of college and would prefer a town/city that has good nightclubs.

I checked from craiglist and i guess Surrey, Abbotsford etc are good options….

Suggestions……?

Thnx
